Family Dinner – Peking Garden (北京樓) is the place to be each time when we meet up with our relatives. Another member of the well-known Maxim’s Group of restaurants, Peking Garden specializes in Peking and northern Chinese dishes. We always arrive early enough for the nightly presentation of handmade noodles. Tonight, we dined at this one located in the Landmark Shopping Mall in Central. There’s another branch located in Tsim Tsa Tsui, in the Star House right in front of the Star Ferry, with harbor views.Red table cover, I like the brass napkin holder…..
First courses, appetizers; pardon my little cousin, he’s occupied with his game pad…..
Vegetable rolls in soy bean wrap…..
(Clockwise from top left) Vegetable rolls, Spare ribs in sweet sauce, Peking ham, Cucumbers with sesame sauce…..
Filing up the sesame pockets with Minced pork…..
The finished product…..
Consommé with bits of lean pork, goji berries, sea whelk, abalone, fish bladder…..
Their popular dish, Peking duck…..
Peking duck slices…..
Rice paper wrap, duck slices, onions; ready to go…..
Finishing up the meal with Chinese donut with sugar sprinkles…..
Small dosage of Red bean paste inside…..
A very short video of chef making “hand pulled noodles”…..
We have been coming to this restaurant frequently because of their consistent food quality, good service and convenient location. Somehow, I see more and more foreign tourists through the years, maybe they like to watch the “show” the restaurant put on each night, plus the elaborate presentation of some of their dishes. The kids love it for sure!

You sure ate well when you were in HKG! That minced pork in sesame pocket looks delicious. I think your cousin will become a foodie.
mmm…I could go for some peking duck!
It’s so Chinese
I like the giant chopsticks.
Gimme some of that food!!
Yum, i need to try that the next time I visit Hong Kong.
ah makes me miss family dinners!
@ElusiveWords - I think he likes to try any dishes cooked with tofu, I was shocked to watch him finished a whole order of tofu braised in brown sauce!
@CaKaLusa - Yeah,me too! Peking duck sounds good! *nom nom*
@stepaside_loser - The chopsticks are well thought out indeed!
@secade - Come on over to HK! It’s just a few hours flight from Seoul!
@stevew918 - This is a good place to have Peking duck! They will show you your duck before slicing it up and if you don’t like it, they will bring out another one! Very good service indeed!
@ds0905 - Yeah, family dinners are good, another benefit is that I don’t have to pay up! Haha~~
I love 北京樓. My parents love the restaurants of Maxim’s and they used to take me there all the time as a kid. I have rather fond memories of the noodle making shows. I think I’ve learned to appreciate it more as I’ve gotten older… decent prices, good service, consistent quality of their food. They’ve also improved a lot on their presentation over the years.
How much do the food usually go for in the places you visit?
@Xx_DeUce_xX - Yes, I’m amused by the “noodle pulling” show every time! Their food, especially the Peking duck , is exceptional!
@oxyGENE_08 - Oh gosh, I never checked the bill because all has been taken care of. Sometimes, when I took a photo of the menu (and food), I get teased from mom and relatives.
I think this dinner is no less than US$500, just a wild guess?!
@CurryPuffy – Hehe thanks for trying though.
I just realized I shouldn’t have asked that. 
The video was awesome, and the Peking duck looks amazing!
i like those pictures on plates and bowls. i would love to try out their pulled noodle soup. they have one here called Paradise Dynasty restaurant and theirs pretty good.
looks delicious! i really miss peking duck… i must find a good recipe for this!
@making_a_comeback_05 - Thank you, I’m glad the food porn video turned out fine!
@rudyhou - When I visit Jakarta, good place to eat I bet!
@kunhuo42 - I watched a tv episode of Peking duck preparation, would be fun to blow into the duck at the final stage!
@CurryPuffy - You’re welcome! The video turned out fine, indeed!
I have to try the sesame pocket and that donut one day…I’ve never seen that before. Looks delicious.
@Cheupe - They are quite unique dishes and very tasty indeed!
I think we’ve eaten here before.
@christao408 - Haha~that “pulling noodle” show does ring a bell, doesn’t it?
Interesting information I haven’t been through such information in a long time.
