Restaurant Week Lunch at Golden Peony (2 Temasek Boulevard - Conrad Centennial Hotel, Level 3, Singapore 038983) Reservation: 6432 7482

It's such a hassle to make reservation through phone - Book now through Chope for Instant Reservations!
Visited on 20 March 2016 (Sun).  Golden Peony is a sophiscated Chinese restaurant that serves refined Cantonese cuisine. Helmed by Executive Chinese Chef Ku Keung together with an established team of Hong Kong culinary experts. The Cantonese ingredients were specially imported from diverse regions of China. Golden Peony boasts an extensive wine list, specially chosen to complement Cantonese cuisine.

I went there during the Restaurant Week to enjoy the 4 Course Set Lunch promotion price of $40++ per person.





These are the tables outside Golden Peony that can overlook the hotel atrium!

Special promotion that week

Jelly Fish topped with Ginger and Spring Onion 
Sliced Drunken Chicken
Golden-fried Prawn coated with Blueberry Sauce and Fresh Fruits
I'm very impressed with this trio! Nice Jelly fish. The drunken chicken was really very tender with a fragrant wine taste. And I'm really very impressed with their version of golden fried prawns. The prawns were very crispy and the chef was really innovative that I never thought fried prawns and blueberry sauce can complement so well together. I'm a person who dislike blueberry but surprisingly, I love how the overall taste is. The blueberry sauce together with the mango and strawberry bits, added a touch of refreshing taste to the fried prawns. Love this to the max!!!



Double-boiled Abalone, Bamboo Pith & Wolfberries in Superior Fish Broth
I still can remember how robust this broth was. We can taste all the goodness inside the broth. Excellent soup with yummy succulent abalone!!!




Crispy Egg Noodle Ball served with assorted Seafood

This was another fantastic special dish - A main course that will definitely made you full! Firstly, I would like to compliment the round ball shape of the crispy egg noodle was done really well. There were 2 slices of fried duck served alongside! Fried duck is not a common menu in hotel chinese restaurants so I was really delighted to see it at Golden peony and I really love it!! And we get to eat cod fish slice, prawn, quite big scallop, mushroom, carrot etc...








Chilled Cream of Avocado topped with Vanilla Ice-Cream
The avocado cream was very creamy and very smooth, taste so great with really premium type of vanilla ice-cream! A wonderful dessert to end the 4 course meal!



Overall Impression: Golden Peony is a famous cantonese restaurant with high quality food. The service here was good as well. They served premium food here hence the prices are slightly on the higher side, but you can get a better quality and enjoyable food. I noticed the guests here were mostly older age type so Golden peony will be a good place to bring your dad and mum or the whole family here for a delightful and sumptuous meal!

Note: The aircon here was really cold. Please bring along a jacket, shawl or thicker clothes along.

Visited on 25 Dec 2015. My Dining room serves authentic Hong Kong cuisine with casual and fine dining ambience. I purchased the deal.com voucher in Dec 2015 to sample the quality of their dishes.






There are three 2 seater table at the front for people who want to be away from noisy groups..




Bigger tables near the front entrance


This is a secret walkway to more tables inside!



This is their kitchen!




Casual Main dining hall!



And here are more private fine dining ambience for 2-4 people beside the main dining hall












Fish Slices Stewed with Beer in Hot Stone Pot



This was a very addictive broth as it was stewed with beer for hours. You will find the fish slice stew very thick and full-flavoured! Yummy!



Pan-Fried Japanese King Scallop

The scallop was really "King" size and succulent with very nice sauce!



Pan-Fried Kurobuta Pork

Surprisingly the meat was very tender and was very well marinated. This was a simple yet fantastic dish!




Poached Vegetables in Superior Soup

I'm not a vegetable lover but when the veg poached into a very flavourful broth, it will make me fall in love with veg at that moment. Haha..



Whole Abalone stirred in Stone Pot with Noodles
I thought they will just use those baby abalone but to my surprise, the abalone was really quite big. The abalone was not that tough and not that tender neither, still ok.. 





Chilled Mango Sago with Pomelo

Their mango sago was not too sweet and not sour, very well mixed!  A nice and refreshing dessert to end the 6-course meal. :)




Additional order of chrysanthemum tea. $3++ per pax.


We tried another Type of their 6-Course Set Meal

Trio Dim Sum Plate

This trio was quite good..


Soon Kueh



Baked Char Siew Bun



Crystal Dumpling




Lobster with Seafood Thick Soup


The soup was really thick and flavourful with bits of lobster meat!



Pan-Fried Chicken Chop with Abalone Sauce
I really love their chicken chop till the max, very tender meat with very yummy abalone sauce!




Crispy Fish Fillet with Thai Sauce
Something like fish and chips, complemented very well with their nice thai sauce.



Fried Rice with Abalone
Their fried rice and baby abalone were really dry and hard. I think this is the only dish that is not passable..




Aloe Vera Grass Jelly


Very generous portion of grass jelly, aloe vera, strawberry etc etc. Great dessert!



Take a peep at their dim sum menu


Overall Impression: The staff were not with much smile but overall ok, very efficient service. Food quality considered quite good here. Another option for a spacious chinese restaurant with quality food at town area!
