Compared to Cherry Garden, all were so good that I was raving to Yuan. Can you imagine me gobbling 2 cha siew baos? Yummy...Fenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610835135054460909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681293820173602421.post-33908517929935485152010-09-01T17:24:44.341+08:002010-09-01T17:24:44.341+08:00I wanted to try cherry garden!

Was ur soon hock fresh?<br /><br />YES, I have to second the MSG part as well. I was tortured thereafter, esp when I had a play to catch! <br /><br />There's so many other better chinese restaurants around. Hai Tien Lo is marginally better. I say save the space for Peach Blossoms at Marina Mandarin, that's a better bet.foodaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976238161931081117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681293820173602421.post-60621664921591263132010-09-01T15:03:30.352+08:002010-09-01T15:03:30.352+08:00What a concidence, I went to Jing last Sunday and ...What a concidence, I went to Jing last Sunday and I didn't enjoy as much as the ala carte buffet brunch offered at Cherry Garden, Mandarin Oriental ($48++).<br /><br />The service was prompt and I would say they handled the orders very well. BUT they do not have single portions for their dishes. In a way, the meal was not satisfying at all, I wanted to eat but my friends were full.<br /><br />And yes, I didn't like the "take your own Peking duck and desserts arrangement", to put it bluntly, I took only 2 egg tarts from the station because my colleague was keen to try.<br /><br />Most of the dishes ordered were just so-so and I suspect tonnes of MSG was added considering how thirsty I was.<br /><br />Looks like hotel restaurants (e.g. Summer Pavilion and Cherry Garden) are a better bet if not for Jing having the DBS 3-free-1 and single seating. <br /><br />How is Hai Tien Lo compared to this?Fenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610835135054460909noreply@blogger.com
