Mandarin Court

Located in the busy Orchard district, Mandarin Court Chinese Restaurant is classy in terms of the interior design, as well as it's brand name. Even the napkin has the restaurant name printed on it. Cool hey!We ordered the Classic Peking Duck with Condiments ($39). The crispy peking duck skin comes with the tasty sauce, some vegie and wrappers. You can choose to make your own wrap, and get it served by the waitress. You can then choose how you want the duck meat to be cooked. There are several options, with different prices of course. We chose to stir fry the duck meat with ee-fu noodles. It's such a great choice! The noodles is so yummy! The food here is delicious! However, $2 for each glass of warm water is a bit pricey I would say!

Just had very good sumptuous company dinner and we celebrated birthday for one of our colleague too!First dish - Sliced Peking duck served with condiments and marinated pear with vinegar sauce. Definitely one of my favourite! Small portion of the salad served beside the peking duck is well prepared! Very tasty indeed. However the taste did not owerpower the main which is peking duck! It's very crispy and yummilicious... Steamed Canadian sea perch in superior soy sauce. Fish was very fresh and sweet. Again another thumbs up dish.stewed lobster with superior stock. As compared to other dishes, it's a bit on the loosing side. Although the lobster meat is fresh and crunchy. But it just lack the sweetness and fragrant in my opinion.stewed "wu xi" spare rib served with deep fried scallop roll with mango. - the mango makes it very refreshing and a unique dish. Spare ribs also cooked till very soft. Good.Sauteed with Kai Lan vegetables duo mushrooms and truffle oil. This is only a so so dish.Stewed mian xian with assorted seafood- My favourite dish of the night! Soup base was so tasty that i've finished the whole bowl of soup without a single drop left! "Mian Xian" was so smooth and tasty combined with the freshness of seafood, it's just perfect!

Just came back from company business lunch at Mandarin Court Chinese Restaurant. The view out from the restaurant is quite good since we are on 35th floor.

We start off with an appetizer trio - Roasted pork, wasabi prawn, steamed "siew mai" topped with fish roe. Nothing much to brag about the appetizer though.

The baked canadian sea perch with miso sauce is quite good though. The meat is not too tender and fragrant. Goes well with miso sauce. Followed by the sauteed duo mushroom with "kai lan" vegetable. It's weird that each bowl of the vegetable only contains 1 type of mushroom instead of 2 types as mentioned as "duo". So some of us got the button mushroom and some have the normal mushroom.

I like the fragrant fried rice with fresh crab meat, scallop, conpoy and egg white. Although i'm quite full but yet i can finished the whole bowl of rice! not oily as well.

The dessert - aloe vera with lemongrass jelly ( soury) is very refreshing after a hearty meal!
