Moment in Peking, right on the corner
of WuQuan, is a place where you can savor northern Chinese
delicacies in a nostalgic environment. Its distinctive
architectural design, which includes gray roof tiles
and a huge, mansion courtyard, resembles a restaurant
in old Beijing and takes guests back to the northern
Chinese literati era. While visiting Moment in Peking,
won't just revel in history, but you can also relax
and hangout with friends over great cuisine.
With its antique furniture, lanterns
painted by ink-and-water master Ke-Yao-tung, old photographs,
poetry, books, and display of embroidered clothes from
the Qing dynasty—the restaurant truly takes patrons
on a tour through nostalgic days while serving-up traditional
delicacies.
All the dining areas are separated
by classic, woodcarving shields, which leave a little
room for privacy amongst different groups of diners.
This scene reflects a reunion for friends and family
in the ancient days of China. Duck with Walnuts Pastry
is specially selected duck-breast meat stuffed with
walnuts and Chinese water chestnuts. It is first steamed
then baked with slow heat and is accompanied by cucumbers,
sweet flour paste and round flat cake. It is a unique
flavor that cannot be missed. Traditional Stewed Pork
is handpicked streaky pork cooked with red yeast and
Shaoxing liquor for five hours until the meat gets tender.
Then it is turned down to low heat and cooked for another
three hours. This stewed pork dish has a lot of fat
nutrients but is not greasy. The fresh, tender meat
will satisfy your greediest appetite.
Spicy Pickled Cabbage is a favorite
dish for the summer. Its crispy and invigorating texture
is sensational for hot, humid days. Translucent Aloe
Vera with Refined Osmanthus Paste is a cool dish and
a favorite among women. Sweet Pig's Knuckle with Soy
Sauce, Duck with Walnuts Pastry , and Spicy Minced Shrimp
Stuffed in Deep-fried Dough sticks are all authentic
northern Chinese delicacies that you will enjoy. Green
Bean Sticky Rice Paste is sticky rice and water mixed
then added with green bean stuffing. After being steamed,
it is sprinkled with sweet osmanthus paste and wrapped
with peanut powder. It carries a slight glutinous rice
and floral aroma—don't let this slip through your
fingers!
The specialty at Moment in Peking is
delicate pastries, including the famous imperial snacks
Pea Flour Cake. A highly recommended dish is the Sweet
Osmanthus Cake, which is soft and refreshing, sweet
but not greasy, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture—It
is a best seller that you must try. When you arrive
at Moment in Peking, you are greeted by either a woman
wearing a modest cheongsam or a gentle and polite man
staff member. You might be a little stunned by their
outfits or manners, but their professional service will
guarantee a fine dining experience any time throughout
