    I have eaten a lot of Chinese restaurants in my life here in the Philippines and my experience with Peking Garden is the best so far i have this year. The restaurant is well deserved of my 4 stars for what is worth

    Wonderful Table-Side Plating

    The highlight of this restaurant is definitely the Peking Duck which is cooked very very well and well carved by it’s expert chefs in perfection.Not only it is palatable to the tongue, but in the eyes as well. I was personally amazed by how well the chef or store manager expertly carved the duck and presents it in the plate table-side.

    Peking Duck Skin and Meat

    To those who barely eat duck, the major problem for the health conscious out there is that duck has a high fatty content in comparison to chicken. The fat is something to watch out for especially to those who have a heart condition. Other Chinese restaurants who serve duck says that it is important to add the fat because it is the source of flavor in the duck. But the Peking Garden restaurant somehow manages to maintains that great taste in duck skin and meat, but meticulously carves the fat away which is a very cool thing considering i am health conscious guy myself. That Peking Duck alone is well deserve of high praises.

    Aside from Duck, the restaurant also offers a lot of other different Chinese cuisine and I get the privileged to try their Hot Shrimp Salad (another favorite eat at any Chinese restaurant which never disappointed me), Birthday Noodles (Your Typical noodles with Quail eggs for long life), Eggplant Stew, Sizzling Beef tenderloin and Sweet and Sour Lapu-Lapu. All cuisine I mentioned in this entry are all worth to try out for any first time eaters out there.

    For those who are curious as to what the dishes looked like, take the time to check out more of the photos below. And for those who are going to give this restaurant a try, I hope you get to enjoy as much as I enjoyed the place.
