North Garden became a quick hub for traditionalists seeking the authenticity of Northern China ’ s cuisine without having to venture to Chinatown 25 years ago - a perennial favourite among international students attending nearby university . Today , diners still flock here over steaming pots of soups and stews wafting alluring aromas . Generous dishes are shared without need for servers prompting – it is obvious .
An easy to navigate menu , categorized by style of dish rather than main ingredient breaks from trend . Dim sum , soups , noodle dishes and rice bowls round out a la carte dishes available at lunch . Noodle and rice bowls topped with star ingredients give daytime diners a taste of the house signatures . Melt in your mouth braised pork belly , fanned over rice and barbequed duck and gai lan topping a robust noodle filled broth are superb , revealing the talent behind the kitchen door .
ROOM to BREATHE .
