The new restaurant had its humble opening on Tuesday at its prime location behind Duty Free Shoppers in Garapan beside the Sisi Beauty Salon.<\/p>\n
The menu at Dragon Garden Delicacies covers a wide range of Chinese specialties prepared by a seasoned chief cook and his assistants who all previously worked at the defunct Ming Palace and Gourmet Restaurant.<\/p>\n
With eight round tables covered with gold-colored linens, Dragon Garden Delicacies is perfect for receptions and can accommodate 80 people.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur target market are local and tourist customers who love good, quality Chinese food,\u201d according to restaurant manager Annie Zhang. \u201cOur goal is to provide quality delicacies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some of the popular food they offer are Hong Kong-style fried shrimps, deep fried pork ribs with garlic sauce, Peking duck, steamed egg-white seafood, sweet and sour fish, and deep fried scallops with pepper salt.<\/p>\n
When asked why they opened the restaurant at a time when the economy is shaky, Zhang said that with many quality Chinese restaurants closing one after another, the island needs a new restaurant to fill the vacuum.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe firmly believe that the economy has hit the bottom and there’s nothing to go but up again,\u201d Zhang said.<\/p>\n
The manager said their customers are guaranteed quality food, thanks to their seasoned cooks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also have well experienced waitresses to provide good service. We have well experienced management to make sure customers are satisfied,\u201d said Zhang.<\/p>\n
Most importantly, prices at Dragon Garden Delicacies are very affordable. The restaurant is open daily from 11am to 2pm and from 6pm to 10pm. Customers can call at 233-7888.<\/p>\n
