Like I've said in one of my previous post, we love Chinese food. More specifically, we love enjoying Peking Duck once in awhile. The amount of food is enormous for the two of us to go through, so we have lots of food to take home. Nevertheless, the food and the experience is delicious and it will forever be one of our favourites!
When you order Peking duck, you're prepared with thinly sliced onions, green onions and cucumbers. These vegetables accompany the peking duck that comes out later throughout the evening. We didn't order any appetizers such as soup because we knew that we had a huge feast coming.
As our Peking duck was being prepared, we were also brought out crepes to eat with our meal. The crepes are for making your own wraps: add Peking duck, your choice of vegetables, some sauce if you prefer, and voila! Enjoy.
What I liked about the restaurant was that they served the Peking duck on two separate plates. There's nothing wrong with having it on one plate, but I appreciated having the Peking duck prepared individually for us. Is this common in Chinese culture? I'd love to know as I'm curious! :) I'm not sure if it's plated per number of guests at the table, but when unsure, I think it's fine to ask your server to have it prepared so. Won't have to reach across the table!
I absolutely love the Peking duck here. The meats are so tender and juicy and its crispy skin is so delicious! With shredded cabbage, cucumbers and onions, it tastes so good. I have nothing bad to say about it! The amount of Peking duck you get is definitely for more than two people - it should accommodate up to 4 (maybe more if you have kids?), and as it comes with stir-fry/soup as well, it's definitely a huge meal whoever you're with.
We also ordered fried rice to enjoy with our meal because I was craving some. Whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant, I always need to have rice, preferably fried rice :P. The dish was light and a good side dish with our Peking duck. We ended up having lots of it wrapped up to go as we couldn't finish it in one sitting, but it was well worth ordering!
After our Peking duck was prepared for us, stir-fry came out a little later. Though there is the option of soup, we prefer the stir-fry. It's hubby's favourite and I personally don't like the soup very much either. This Peking duck stir-fry is one of the best I've seen. We enjoyed most of it the day after at home and it was just as delicious as it was at the restaurant!
Overall, Peking Garden is our go-to spot for Peking Duck. I mean, the restaurant's name says it all, no? The restaurant is usually fully packed with customers so if you're there at a bad time, prepare yourself for waiting. I think the service at the restaurant can be improved, as I saw a shortage of servers compared to the number of customers as we enjoyed our meal. This restaurant is a popular choice for families, groups, visitors and much more. I think that says a lot about the restaurant already! Many are return customers like us and some are new...some just drop by to pick their dinners up as well. The restaurant is a little far out from downtown Montreal, but if you can get there, I highly recommend that you try the restaurant. The Peking duck is also available in two sizes (half and full) so you can definitely try their popular dish at smaller portions!
