Have u been to Victoria Peak?

Have you been to Victoria Peak? Oh no! I'm not talking about the Victoria Peak in HK. I'm referring to Victoria Peak Chinese Cuisine Restaurant at Orchard Central. They're an extension of the popular Victoria City restaurants in Hong Kong. They serve tim sum and Cantonese cuisine. It's situated on the 11th level and near the roof-top garden. You can also enjoy a nice view of Orchard Rd from the walkway. We ordered the Set Menu for 10pax as we have 9pax. The Set Menu consists of 8 courses including dessert. The portion was large so there were enough food for second helping.

The set lunch menu actually comes with sharks fin soup but our family have strongly advocate against eating shark fins so we requested for a change to winter melon soup instead. The restaurant must be very happy with our decision as sharks fins are definitely more expensive than winter melon! It's a right decision as the wintermleon soup is double-boiled to perfection.Actually, I'm not a big fan of Peking Duck after i found out how they prepare the duck before roasting! (For those who still want to enjoy their Peking Duck, better don't find out from me.) However, my family commented that it's very tasty and nice so I gave it a try. Indeed! The crispy skin is roasted to perfection. The skin is wrapped in like a pancake and you have the option to add the sauce/spring onion if you like.

Peking Duck

You can really taste the sweetness and seafood goodness in the soup. The chef is really generous with the ingredients in the soup. It's a refreshing and nourishing soup, good for your lungs.

Winter Melon Soup with Eight Treasures

The prawns are deep-fried but fresh and sautéed with sweet corns and salted eggs. The taste is very unique as you can taste the sweetness and saltness at the same time.

Prawns with sweet corn

The fish is deboned and sliced. Steamed over the lotus leaf and garnished with mushroom, spring onions and ginger. The fish is very fresh and tender but the sauce is a bit too salty.

Steamed Grouper Fish

The pork is marinated and deep-fried. Very tender and nice. But a bit on the oily side.

Deep Fried Pork

This is restaurant's signature dish. The duck meat from the Peking duck is used for this duck stew. Very tasty and piping hot as the stone pot keep the soup warm.

Duck Stew Hotpot

Quite ordinary to me but at least the noodles did't stick together.

Overall, a nice place to dine. There are a few large aquariums for the live seafood. The place is bright but a bit noisy as the ceiling is a bit too low. However, you could request for a private room.

Don't you find the design nice and creative?
