Visited on 10 Aug 2015 (Mon - Public Holiday). Peach Blossoms is one of the longest established chinese restaurant that has reopened after a S$1 million renovation in 2011. They serve traditional Cantonese fare and dim sum with a modern twist in contemporary interiors.

Weekday Ala Carte Dim Sum Buffet:
$48++ per adult/ $38++ per child (6-11 years) - Excluding Beverages
Time: 12pm to 3pm (Mon - Fri)
This is the beautiful waiting area with oriental seats!
I love restaurants that are bright with abundance of natural daylight from the glass windows!
Pickles:
Keropok served in a small cute basket
($3++)
The prices for premium tea selection are on the high side, so we just go for normal chrysanthemum tea at $3++ per person.
The staff will push a dim sum trolley around to ask if you want any of their available dim sum selection from their trolley though we can order through the menu! I thought this was quite extra cos we might have already ordered through the menu earlier and if the trolley have the dim sum we want, of course we would rather get from the trolley immediately rather than waiting and will need to cancel our previous order. It will be quite troublesome.
Mini Buddha Jumps Over The Wall
(Limited To One Serving)
How can we missed the most premium soup here? With so many high quality ingredients that were simmered for hours, you can expect the broth to be rich and tasty!!
Braised Shark's Fin Soup with Crab Meat
(Limited To One Serving)
The soup was robust ,flavourful and was full of crabmeat! I enjoyed this soup so much! Yummy!!!
Pan-fried Foie Gras with Smoked Duck served on Mantou
(Limited To One Serving)
Usually we had mantou with chilli crab so I felt foie gras with mantou was quite extraordinary! The combination was great and the sauce complemented so well with the melt-in-your-mouth foie gras!
Crispy Scallop coated with Filo String topped with Fish Roe
(Limited To One Serving)
This was so exquisite.. It would be fantastic if this can be unlimited serving. But we all know premium items are usually served once...
Steamed Honey Glazed Pork Bun
I would like to highly recommend this! So far Peach Blossoms has the BEST Char Siew Bao as the skin was so so fluffy that no other hotel chinese restaurants can do it. And the filling was not too sweet. Overall it's melt in the mouth!
Baked Egg Tarts
The egg tarts here were melted in the mouth except the fragrance in the custard was quite mild, otherwise it would be perfect.
Steamed Chicken Dumpling with Black Mushroom
(Siew Mai)
The siew mai was decent as it was not juicy and too meaty..
Steamed Custard Bun with Salted Egg Yolk
The bun was not fluffy and the custard was overfull till the extent of even I just had a small bite, all the custard flow out till very messy. And I don't really like the custard taste, somehow had a strong smell of something that I don't really like...
Stir-fried Radish Cake with Bean Sprouts in XO Chilli Sauce
The radish cake were too soggy and the XO chilli sauce was very dull. I expected the sauce to excite my palate but it did not...
Deep-Fried Crispy Salmon Fish Skin with Spices Salt
The spices were spicy and a little salty which were quite shiok!
Roasted Duck served with Plum Sauce
The skin was super crispy with delicate aroma of lychee wood! But the meat was quite tough. Hope the chef can improve in the tenderness of the meat and it will be perfect.
Stir-fried Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli in "Szechuan" Style
The Gong Bao chicken here were quite different from others as it was fried with flour and there was a layer of crispy exterior before you can taste the tender diced chicken. The sauce was not too sour as well. I enjoyed this dish very much!
Steamed Fillet of Fish with Fragrant & Raw Minced Garlic
I thought the minced garlic was a little too much and the fillet could be more tender.
Chilled Mango Puree with Sago & Pomelo
Ice-Cream of the day: Chocolate
Chilled lemongrass Jelly with Mixed Fruits
Chilled Mango Pudding
Double-boiled Luo Han Guo with Winter Melon
As usual, dessert is not their specialty in most chinese restaurants, so don't expect great desserts. All the above 5 desserts were lacklustre...
They still have this menu that we did not order
Overall Impression: The service here was not so good. No one attended to us to take our drinks order after we were seated for around 5-10 mins - We have to call for them. There were quite a few times we couldn't find any staff nearby us to place our food order whereby the restaurant was only half-filled. As this restaurant has 3 sections, they should assign 1 or 2 staff at each section to standby since this is a 5 star hotel. Most of the staff were not with any smile too except one of them was good.
Food quality was slightly higher than other 5 star hotel chinese restaurants that I've visited, except some of the dim sum and their dessert really needs much improvements! If only the service can be warm and better, this place will be perfect.
