Luxuriate in Quality Chinese fare at Golden Peony

Chinese cuisines are a dime a dozen here in Singapore, which explains why locals are exceptionally particular when it comes to quality. One such restaurant that lives up to these expectations is Golden Peony, a beautiful establishment serving up decadent Chinese fare.

 

Golden Peony1
You’ll feel right at home when you first step into the modernly vast space, located on the 3rd level of the swanky Conrad Centennial Hotel. The warmly lit ambience and contemporary interiors ooze chic without being ostentatious, making it a perfect spot for friendly gatherings and intimate occasions. Classic Chinese dishes adorn the menu so you can expect the upgraded favourites including Sweet & Sour Pork and Stir-Fried French Bean.

Not convinced? We’ll help you out:

Something Succulent: Roast ‘London’ Duck

Roast ‘London’ Duck with Parma ham, crispy beancurd skin and pineapple roll with homemade crepes
A testament to Chef Ku’s impeccable skills is the Roast ‘London’ Duck (特色伦敦鸭两味) – a dish akin to Peking Duck but with a twist. Here, the duck is served two ways: first in a homemade crepe, then as is alongside condiments to complement it with.

We recommend first going for the former, where a pristine slice of roast duck with parma ham, pineapple, and crispy beancurd skin are ready to be rolled in a homemade crepe for your dining pleasure. If you prefer savouring the duck as is, the juicy slices of roast duck on the side will delight you. Don’t forget the spice dip for a little flavour boost!

 

A Little Bit of Warmth: Golden Double-boiled Seafood Soup in Mini Golden Pumpkin

Double-boiled New Caledonia ‘Obsiblue’ Prawn with Bamboo Pith and Conpoy in a Mini Pumpkin
Savour the essence of the sea with the Golden Double-boiled Seafood Soup in Mini Golden Pumpkin (金瓜盅炖海鲜汤). We beamed when this cheerful bowl of goodness brimming with seafood and all things delicious arrived at our table.

Each spoonful of broth immediately exudes depth and warmth, making it almost impossible not to love. Tuck in further and discover plump, fresh prawns, tender conpoy and more hidden treasures within.

 

From Up North: Baked Canadian Sea Perch with Red Wine Sauce

Love fish? Then this Baked Canadian Sea Perch with Red Wine Sauce (红酒焗鲈鱼) is definitely up your alley. Enjoy simplicity at its finest as you bite into the gorgeously baked sea perch with the sweet and savoury red wine sauce. Fleshy and fragrant, the sea perch has a very clean flavour that works beautifully with the red wine sauce.

 

A Bowl of Indulgence: Stewed Lobster

Stewed Lobster with ginger,spring onion and egg gravy served with crispy egg noodle ball
More seafood goodness awaits as Golden Peony dishes out the indulgent Stewed Lobster with Ginger, Spring Onion, and Egg Gravy served with Crispy Egg Noodle Ball (姜葱滑蛋开边龙虾脆面球).

Chef Ku gets a little creative with the presentation as the succulent lobster is shown playing with the noodle ball in the sea of ‘egg-gravy’. Spoon the hot gravy over the crisp noodle to soften it before you dig in, and savour every mouthful with a bit of the lobster and gravy. Fun has never tasted this good!

Whether it’s a family feast you seek or an indulgent meal for two, the fine Chinese fare at this exquisite restaurant is sure to satisfy.

Conrad Lobby Lounge’s 1-for-1 Weekend High Tea is a seafood lover’s heaven

Buffet high teas are somewhat of a common ritual here in Singapore but when we heard of Conrad Lobby Lounge‘s new 4-course Weekend High Tea offering, we can’t help but pop by to experience it ourselves.

Tear away from the hustle and bustle of the city and feel your worries melt away as you step into the lounge. The warm wood panellings and comfortable lounge chairs beckon you to relax and unwind, while the waiting staff tend to your needs. A typical high tea starts off light and simple but at Conrad, you know you’ll be pampered through and through.

An indulgent beginning comes in the form of a refreshing Seafood Platter that features a trio of lobster, prawns, and oysters. A squirt of lime and a dash of hot sauce add a touch of brightness to the fresh ocean catch, whetting your appetite for more. While tucking into poached Boston lobster with brilliantly plump prawns, and slurping down luscious Irish oysters, we thought: can it get any better than this?

Oh yes, yes it can.

The second course presented itself as a myriad of savoury delights and sweet treats. From House Cured Salmon to Orange Curd, Fresh Thyme Flower and Ivory Chocolate Mousse, tiers upon tiers of high tea selections were brought to the table. Feast your eyes on the lobby lounge’s extensive catalogue of Ronnefeldt teas as well, where you can take your pick from calming classics to unique concoctions such as the Orange Pekoe tea.

We delighted in their Baked Mango and Passionfruit Lava and wished we could devour endless servings of their Heirloom Tomato and Marinated Mozzarella TartletsEating your way down the tiers, greet the fresh strawberries and classic chantilly cream at the end to finish off on a sweet note.

Don’t just take our word for it – explore them yourselves and find your favourite out of the list of treats on the menu!

Wrap up the tiered treats with a serving of Conrad’s popular Warm Scones, served alongside mini pots of homemade fig, strawberry jam, and clotted cream. Smear clotted cream onto the warm scones, and have it together with your jam of choice. If there was a way to turn satisfaction into flavour, this comes really close.

On the other hand, get in touch with your swish side when you tuck into their Cheeseboard that offers Brie, Chaume, and Tomme de Savoie alongside a smorgasbord of crackers and dried fruits.

Still unconvinced? Here’s a Chope insider’s tip: Conrad’s throwing in a sweet deal this month with Chope Exclusives! Enjoy a 1-for-1 Weekend High Tea from $68++ at the Lobby Lounge when you make a reservation with the promo code CE8LL*.
