The food featured here are from 2 consecutive Sundays when we ate at Peking Garden in Trinoma. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten there and I’ve missed the fabulous appetizers that they’re known for.
spicy wanton wrapper crisps
deep fried beancurd cubes w/ minced meat P320
shredded chicken in chili sauce P280
These thinly sliced super crunchy fish are my favorite. The fish was coated with sweet and sour sauce. It’s unlike any fried fish I’ve ever eaten.
honeyed fish butterfly shape P320
fried mini sliver thread bun P70/2 pcs.
fried spring onion cake P80/pc.
Now on to the main course dishes. Simply steamed fresh shrimps are the best way to savor seafood.
steamed sua-he (small shrimp)
assorted meat & seafood soup in casserole P525 (medium)
In Manila, Peking Garden serves the best xiao long bau or soupy dumplings. The skin is relatively thin, the meat is well seasoned and the soup generous.
steamed supreme soup & pork dumplings P150/5 pcs.
hand-made noodles w/ beef and spring onion P170
deep fried crispy chicken w/ dried garlic P390/half P780/whole
No other restaurant beats Peking Garden in the speed of cutting and presenting the sliced duck. They also take time to scrape the skin clean of any fat. This lessens our guilt in eating this decadent dish.
We had a special treat for lunch. Beggar’s chicken is a popular dish from Beijing that is made from chicken and preserved mustard greens and then it’s wrapped in lotus leaves and clay or in this case bread. Cooking the chicken this way ensures a very tender and tasty dish. Beggar’s chicken requires advanced ordering.
beggar’s chicken P1,000
Andrew had the honor of breaking the bread layer with a heavy brass mallet.

I don’t know what these veggies were but I loved them. They’re light and crispy a good contrast to the bamboo shoots and sweet candied walnuts.
crispy vegetable, conpoy w/ bamboo shoot & walnuts P570 (M)
poached mustard greens in supreme soup P375 (M)
