Peach Garden

#01-88 Thomson Plaza, 301 Upper Thomson Road T. 6451 3233

My first encounter with Peach Garden was when it was at Upper Changi Road. Though the food was generally quite tasty – siew yoke (roast fatty pork), clear sharkfin’s soup double boiled in melon, sam wong yin cho (Chinese spinach cooked in a soup with egg, salted egg and century egg) – I found it laden with msg and reacted almost immediately to the meal.

I decided to give it another go, now that it has opened up at Thomson Plaza and found it to be no different. We had a selection of dim sum for starters and then proceeded to the roast meats which was crackling and good as ever; the vegetables - tasty but this was also when I started reacting to the msg; a steamed pating fish (a Malaysian freshwater catch); and then fried ee-fu noodles which was nothing out of the ordinary.
