Having Lunch at the Top of Singapore

I have been trying to meet an old friend, my closest friend in junior high, for several months. Unluckily, we have different work schedules and we would always schedule then cancel our suppose-to-be get together. Finally, we were able to meet last Sunday. I was so excited plus the fact that she chose a restaurant I have been meaning to go to.

Imagine my glee when she said she had reserved a table for us at the Peach Garden. I say we were to dine in style. The Peach Garden is known for its great ambiance, good food and better service. Lunchtime was what we have agreed on. I was feeling a bit giddy as I walked into the restaurant, maybe from excitement and because of the ride from the elevator. By the way, the restaurant is located at the 33rd floor of the OCBC. I spotted my friend and she was able to get us a good table. It was near the middle of the dining area so I had a better view of the restaurant. It has a very intimate atmosphere. We also had a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area of the building and it was really beautiful.

My friend and I dine away while reminiscing our junior high days. I was surprised that they serve carrot cake in this restaurant which I usually have at hawkers centre in Singapore. I never thought that it is served in classy restaurants in Singapore like this one. However, I let my friend order for us since she has been here several times. We enjoyed the things she ordered and personally I like the Peking duck and the Scallop dish with salted egg yolk. I love the crunchiness of the duck’s skin and the Scallop was just cooked to perfection. We capped our lunch by having jelly royale and the black glutinous rice with ice cream.

Catching up with my friend had been fun. She is still bubbly and a lot of fun to talk to. My first time at the restaurant did not disappoint. I would love to come back here and try their other dishes. They also have other branches of restaurants in Singapore so I would probably try them and check the food and ambiance.
