Located at Rochester Park in a renovated and chic pre-war black and white colonial bungalow, Goodwood Park Hotel's Min Jiang@One-North has been bringing in locals and expatriates alike to savour what its extensive menu has to offer. And boy did the menu not disappoint. I can safely say that it is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Singapore taste, variety and presentation wise. (:

Must-trys include Chef Goh's Appetizer platter (comprising crispy diced chicken marinated in Chinese Wine tossed with Wasabi dressing, wok-tossed lobster medallion coated in spicy egg yolk crumbs, crispy eel coated with vinegar sauce and sesame seeds, and pan-fried scallops in Tientsin Pear and topped with XO sauce) and its authentic wood-fired Beijing Duck, which is served along with the meat - and that's the main difference presentation-wise between it and other restaurants, which serve only the skin.

These two outsidestanding dishes alone are actually enough to satisfy the palate for a table of three, without the need for any accompanying dishes. The Beijing duck alone has eight condiments, sauce and around twenty paper-thin crepes to go along with the meat and skin. Heavenly indeed.. Especially with the special 20% discount for the duck

The whole dish is edible.. except for one patch of wax..

Heavenly roasted duck with sides

There are still many many more outstanding dishes that we'd yet to try though. Will definitely make our way there again to enjoy the rest of the menu.

And before I forget, it is a perfect spot for a romantic dinner, given its rustic surroundings and the experience of dining under the stars outside the restaurant. Just the right place for any ad-hoc dinners and dates
