5 of us altogether - Mum, her bf, bro, guppy and me... We celebrated my mum's Birthday cum Mother's Day last night at Peach Garden @ 33 (OCBC Centre, #33-01, Singapore...)
Main dining hall was packed.. The other smaller private rooms were packed.. And thank goodness, as per my request, they reserved my table in a bigger private room, with about 6 - 7 tables and only 4 tables taken (including ours).. No noisy children, no crying babies, and we were pampered right from the start to the end..

The interior display in one of the private rooms which we were in...
Sou Dou
(Yummy!! the filling isn't too hot and its sweetness is just right...)
Fried Crispy Golden Prawn w Shredded Potato and Bacon rolled with Scallop in Wasabi Sauce
(Bacon and scallop is a winner in this combination.. the wasabi sauce is just right.. doesn't give you the "shoot to your nostrils kinda effect".. the bacon is crispy and the scallop wasn't overcooked.. The prawns, fresh and cripsy with a nice wrap around "towel" of shredded potato..)
Peking Duck
(The pancake skin is totally different from the ones available in other restaurants.. i can taste the flour - not too stuffed out with flour and a has a little sweetness to it.. The Peking Duck's skin, non-oily and crispy to the last bit.. A Thumbs Up!!)
Double boiled Superior Shark's Fin with Bamboo Pith in Traditional Chicken Broth
(Extremely generous pieces of shark's fin.. thick soup base.. not salty and sooo slurpy yummy good!! A hit with the elders..)
Pan Fried Maggie Venison Cubes with Fresh Mushrooms
(Very tender and not over-cooked Venison.. Marinated to the right level & pan fried to the right time.. Omph!)
Steam Fillet of Sea Perch in Teochew Style
(Another winner with the older folks.. Fresh fish and steamed to the right minute.. Perfect!!)
By this time, we were all 3/4 full. And we have some more dishes to go!! Oh my GOSH!!
Stir Fried French Beans with Fried Golden Mushrooms
(Very Yummy!! Simple, yet deliciously fragrant...)
Chang Sou Mien with Shredded Duck Meat and Fresh Mushrooms
(This is Yum Yum too! We all each had a small bite and had to tabao the rest home.. hahaa.. Too much food for the 5 of us..)
Finally, Chilled Water Chestnut...
(Not too sweet, cooling desert after all the heaty food consumed, and created epsecially for mother's day!!)
The food - GOOD!!!
Total cost - S$489.70 (including juices and chinese tea & tibits)
I'm glad my mum, her bf, bro and guppy like the food and the ambience.. And mum was saying, this is the first time I buy her expensive dinner.. Hmmm... That's SOOOooo utterly untrue.. Tsk! Tsk!
