Chinese New Year is just around the corner and I am sure most people will stock up tangerines at home for it will bring good fortune and luck to the family, according to the chinese belief. Instead of doing the same thing every year, this year we have Lucky Peaches for you to ring in a lucky Chinese New Year. (FYI, peaches symbolises immortality according to Chinese belief) Keep reading to find out more about these peaches!
Lucky Peaches Eating Hall and Bar is a newly opened restaurant located in Plaza Arkadia Desa Parkcity that embraces vibrant al-fresco dining style and contemporary comfort food with a quirky twist of asian. By only looking at pictures, you would be able to feel the casual and easy ambience of Lucky Peaches that allows you to spend a very good time having flowing conversations with family and friends.
It opens at 4 o'clock on Tuesdays, so we departed around that hour and had our dinner earlier to beat the peak-hour jam.
Instead of heavy main courses, we've ordered a few lighter dishes and sharing bites in order for us to try out more varieties of food.

Braised Five Spice Pulled Jackfruit, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, and Crispy Tempura Softshell Crab
This Wow Bao Basket is indeed one that deserves a 'wow'. From the outlook itself, it has already gotten us drooling. We ordered three different types of Wow Bao as it requires a minimum order of three baos per Wow Bao Basket. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken was topped with pickled achor salad, crushed roasted peanut, and roasted white sesame seeds.
The Pok Pok Wings look very irresistible, right? We thought so too! The skin was deeply fried until very crispy with a thin layer of crunch coating. Although it looks crunchy and stiff from the outside, the flesh inside was actually tender.
The Spicy Creamy Korean Miso Vongole was served with two slices of sourdough and filled with generous amount of clams and thick miso broth. Unfortunately, the taste of it wasn't as fresh as we expected.
Not forgetting this one that deserves a BIG shout-out! The Black-Out cake - if you love desserts that are not too sweet, this is something worth indulging in because it is made of dark chocolate with just the right amount of sweetness.
Everything was decent on the whole. Nothing too fancy but it was enough to keep us staying for few hours because of the cozy environment. We'd definitely visit Lucky Peaches again to try out other interesting food listed on the menu.
