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...

Little Sheep Chinese Shabu Shabu

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...
