上菜的順序也颇为有趣,先上主食蘿蔔酥,再是蔬菜,最後是姍姍來遲的烤鴨。更要命的是期間很難找到服務人員,即使他們看到你在招手也會直接無視。是的,沒看錯,就是看到你在招手也會直接從你面前走過,無視。忙碌可以理解,這種無視讓人覺得不想再次光顧

- 烤北京填鴨
Previously, we have always ordered from the A La Carte, this time I think we made a mistake ordering set for 4.
The set included
-signature combinations of of peking specialties
-sautéed prawns and scallop with veges
-Braised mock shark’s fin soup
-BBQ Peking Duck
-Deep Fried Sliced fish with sweet and sour sauce
-Braised sea cucumber with spring onion
-Steamed port kand soup dumpling
-Sweet Almond cream with egg white
Because it was a set, The signature combination came in four pieces and to be fair, it looked a bit sad. The taste was also a bit bland, lucky to us, we didn’t want any seconds..
The prawns and scallop were one of the better dishes, the prawns tasted fresh and crunchy, and the scallops were also nicely done!
The mock fish fin we didn’t like at all, the texture wasn’t right, if they had a nice slow cooked chicken broth, it would be a much better texture than the thick paste soup (羮), which felt like a lot of starch!
The duck was delicious and worth waiting (we waited 40mins), the skin was thick and crunchy and full of fatty goodness! But the problem lies in the pancakes, it was so thin that it keeps breaking! And it wasn’t HOT!!! It’s all in the details… and this made us a bit mad and we couldn’t be bothered sending it back as we waited long enough….
The sweet and sour fish looked delicious too; but the batter was so thick with so little fish… disappointing… I much prefer the whole fish which we usually order in a la carte…
Dumplings and desserts were upto standard!
My conclusion is, I will still come back for the duck and a la carte but for $2180/4 plus tea and appetiser $ plus +1…. About $700/head was a bit pricy!
再嚟嘅大宅門蒸銀絲卷軟綿得黎有嚼勁,小朋友食得咁開心,一轉眼就無影,我都搵唔返啦!🤣呢度嘅招牌菜烤北京填鴨當然唔少得,鴨皮煙韌香脆,搭埋京蔥鴨醬咬落去嗲味極喇!😍
高郵鹹蛋蝦球又係另一款心頭好,鹹蛋黃包裹住蝦球,香脆得嚟口感豐富。不過,有啲涼咗,失咗啲熱辣辣嘅夾攏感,如果出面順啲,真係無得輸。🍤
最後,茶樹菇炆豆苗正宗得嚟清新,淡淡嘅藥膳味道同豆苗嘅甜味互相輝映,稱得上係清雅嘅一撃。食完成晚,都算係滿足,只係有時候服務跟唔上,仲有改善嘅空間。
一直都覺得北京樓的片皮鴨是信心的保證,更好的是,可以點半隻,適合人少的我們,不花巧,正正是我們由細食到大的那種片皮鴨。
炸菜肉末配义子燒餅也是必食,香脆的燒餅,滿滿的芝麻,雖然已把肉碎塞滿,但仍然因為不夠燒餅而要把肉碎打包。
加碟菜,就是有菜又有的一餐,北方菜其實也可以清淡。
First come first, an sesame oil marinated appetiser was served. Remembering my past visit was served with a hint of spiced edamame bean curd cucumber cold dish, it was cucumber, tofu curd and peanuts in sesame oil. Personally found it pretty bland. There was only sesame oil taste, neither saltiness nor spiciness could be taste, but at least peanuts and cucumber were crunchy.
We ordered half a Barbecued peking duck,
Sauteed minced pork with pickled vegetables (served with 2 pieces of sesame pastry), Sautéed shredded pork with assorted vegetables and vermicelli & egg ( served with 6pcs pancakes), Steamed vegan meat & mushroom dumplings and
Vegan xiao long bao with mushroom. For dessert, we requested mashed red bean pancakes.
Sauteed minced pork with pickled vegetables (served with 2 pieces of sesame pastry) was first served. Without disappointment, the stir fry was delicious. Very savoury with the crunch from the pickled vegetables. Edamame added some silky earthiness. And it was not oily at all. Sadly, the sesame pastry wasn't toasted at all. It will be grateful to warm it up so that the toasted sesame from the pastry could add some nuttiness in the combination.
Moving on to the vegan xiao long bao with mushroom and steamed vegan meat & mushroom dumplings. Xiao long bao was flavouful on its own without the gingery vinegar. Unlike the traditional xiao long bao with oozing out hot soup, the umami soup from the mushroom xiao long bao had been leaked out before lifting up from the chopsticks. It had a stronger vegan meat flavour than mushroom taste. Wrappers were thin as it should be. Personally prefer the traditional one but worth to try if looking for fusion. The steamed vegan meat & mushroom dumplings were better. Soft thin wrapping with umami flavour. The vegan meat had less pungent taste with stronger mushroom flavour. However, it had to consume quick. Wrappers became hard and sticky once cooled.
Sautéed shredded pork with assorted vegetables and vermicelli & egg ( served with 6pcs pancakes)was quite let down. I remember it served with more greens and sprouts covering with fried egg in the past and this time, it came with more pork strips with smaller stir fry egg that unable to cover the vegetables base. Pancakes were easily broken down and wrapped. It was pretty messy while eating it. The whole dish was more on a meat base instead of balancing vermicelli, vegetables and meat. And thus, pretty oily.
Here it came to the most exciting part, peking duck. As expected, skin was crispy and meat was tender. Well marinated and tender. Wrappers were thin but again easily broke down. It was appreciated they gave generous amount of cucumber and chives that more than enough. Overall, it kept its quality.
Last but not least, the mashed red bean pancakes which was again sad while served. Maybe I have had more better looking ones. To me, it's a Chinese version of quesadillas...Stuffing red bean mashed between two tortillas while more in egg base. Not crunchy but chewy. It tasted very eggy. Good side is generous amount of red bean paste that oozed out.
Overall, it did not feel as enjoyable as my past visits. Not bad, just not what I was looking for.
北京樓裝修雅緻舒適,枱与枱之間有一定距離,格調高級。
來到北京樓當然要食北京填鴨,一上菜眼就前一亮,師傅刀功了得,擺盤講究,鴨皮伴碟邊 碟中間鋪砌了鴨皮連肉;伴邊的鴨皮 薄和脆 一點肥膏都沒有,食完皮之後, 輪到吃中間的皮連肉,皮脆肉嫩,而且薄餅皮夠薄煙韌,沒有肥膩感,近期食過做得最好的片皮鴨 。
宮保蝦球,蝦好大隻,新鮮爽脆,酸甜開胃,冇得頂。
叫咗兩款小籠包,都好美味,小籠包雖然皮薄但韌度恰到好處,用筷子夾都唔會爛皮,而且湯汁滿瀉。
還有干煸四季豆,干身香口,但掛住食唔記得影相。
總的來說,今次太古廣場北京樓給我印像是非一般的北京樓,無論裝修、服務、食物水平 超出我們的預期,性價比高,值得推介。

Food waiting time is long and we
will never go again.
埋單時發覺用Alipay消費券更可以享有大概八折優惠(酒水沒有折),原來的二千三百多元折扣後一千八百左右,人均$450,有美酒又吃得飽,坐得舒適服務又好,商場裏面都算係平價之選☺️
- 黃金蝦球
- 蔥油餅
拼盤,味道唔太差。
砵砵雞係類似口水雞嘅麻煩雞,但超油膩
上湯小豆苗
最後先上嘅北京填鴨,都算正常質素
兩個人共$1,026.30,每人$500度。菜介成$85蚊,但食物水準係同一般酒樓咁上下。
人手也不夠, 吃完的上菜碟子要自己搬來搬去, 不像以往的殷勤, 會時刻留意顧客每道菜食用完畢立即收碟子。
晚上七時, 已不是 peak hour, 在門口竟然無職員長註, 做完晒安心出行和針咭處理也不見人, 也沒有鐘仔可以按來call 人。
