Peking Duck and Lunch Set

Haven't update this blog for some time, but I'm back now.  After the crazy year-end eating in 2018, life seemed to have gone back to normal. Well! It becomes crazy again when I took my sister for her birthday lunch last week. My aim was to have Peking Duck, but the lunch set menu looked very attractive. So we decided to give our stomach a challenge - set lunch + half Peking Duck.

There are many Peking Garden around in Hong Kong. But only the one at Star House has half a Peking Duck available. Others has to order for a full duck. Even so, a full duck here is cheaper than the Peking Garden at Alexandra House. Although the one at AH has the highest rating from tourists, the one at SH here is newly renovated and has harbour view. So it is still one of my most favourite restaurants. 

Half Peking Duck

If you want to view the duck cutting show, there is a show window where you can view the restaurant. Since Peking Duck is a high demand item, so duck cutting is on-going most of the time.

The pancakes were separated by a thin slice of paper so they won't stick together. What a nice improvement! 


This lunch set menu is only available here. I don't see this at other Peking Garden. In fact I notice the menus and prices varies among different Peking Garden although they all operated under Maxims Group. I always love the menu and price here.


Shrimps and Spare Ribs


Don't assume that the dish size is smaller when it is in a lunch set. They are of the same size of a regular order.

Al dante shrimps - lovely!

Crab Soup

Deep Fried Small Yellow Fish

The regular dish has three, but this is a two-person set, so it becomes two (understandable)! Very crispy, delicious!

Millet Congee served with Pan Fried Rice Cake
This is kind of high fiber dessert. But the pan fried rice cakes were too hard, I had to soak them in the congee in order to make them soften and easier for the mouth.


The vegetable dumplings were too plain to be photographed.
