See the pictures at http://thehungrybunnie.blogspot.comThe main problem I had was that the dim sum were just so very lackluster, and generally ho-hum. I'd expected more, as I'd really good meals at their CBD and Sichuan branches.They were below par with the stuff served at the mass marketed Crystal Jade Kitchen branches, which have lower price points than Peach Garden. I just felt that you just don't get your money's worth here.We had:1) Siew Mai Steamed Pork Dumpling ($4.20): very strong "porky
The main problem I had was that the dim sum were just so very lackluster, and generally ho-hum.

I just felt that you just don't get your money's worth here.
We had:
1) Siew Mai Steamed Pork Dumpling ($4.20): very strong "porky" smell and taste, which meant the pork wasn't sparkling fresh.
2) Steamed Scallop and Prawn Dumpling ($4.20): this fared better in comparison (which isn't saying much). The dumpling skin was thin and chewy, and seafood was reasonably fresh but admittedly not particularly sweet.We had to dip this in a bit of soy because it was lacking in flavour
3) Steamed Radish and Mushroom Rice Roll ($3.90): probably the best dish, which isn't saying much either, but this is the one dish that actually stood out. The chives-laced rice roll skin was thin and chewy, and stuffed generously with sweet and crunchy radish strips and juicy mushrooms. A most pleasant vegetarian rice roll
4) Rice Roll with BBQ Pork ($4.30) - quite commendable. Translucent and thin chewy skin, plentiful sweetly charred diced char siew and delicate soy made for a well done dish
5) Pan-fried Carrot Cake ($3.60): also lackluster. This was served tepid so it just tasted like cold mush, which was most unfortunate. It would have been passable if it was freshly fried, or reheated
