Peach Garden

Had been on my culiner list for a while, although located in a hospital. Recently we went to this hospital for medical checkup plus dinner on the restaurant.
As Peach Garden is Chinese restaurant, we thought the dishes contained pork & lard, unfortunately a "no pork" sign was hung on the entrance. After browsing through menu, we ordered several dimsum items & main dish.
This restaurant was designed in nice simple Chinese style, though the service was slow...

The position of this restaurant is quite hidden, though the ambiance is warm with American touch.
The service was a bit "intimidating"... As the stewards were watching too close & too hasty removed dishes while not yet finished...

The special of this steak actually was the gravy as it's fused Japanese sake. Actually the gravy was timid though tasty with mild sour hint.

This restaurant is outstanding as offers authentic Szechuan flavor. The special spicy broth was very rich as fused generous spices, dry chillies & onions. Fortunately it less peppery than where it's from. Yet a bit salty... I like smelling the nice Chinese herbal aroma from the hotpot, regrettably this restaurant allow smoking inside...

Cinnamon Cronuts @ The Harvest

What a pity! The interesting article I was reading was talking about cronuts in US... Totally out of reach...
However recently on the way, I was surprised by a familiar picture on a giant billboard with text... "Cronuts now available on Harvest". So I stop by at the store & curiously looking for it.
There're 3 flavors : Choco, Vanilla & Cinnamon. As I'm not sweet teeth person, I picked Cinnamon one. The cronuts need 15 minutes to be served. Unfortunately nothing special about the cronuts... just like regular pastry... Flaky but very crispy, sprinkled with cinnamon powder & sugar.
