Gourmet moment: Restaurant Peninsula 1899

Hello everybody! Huh, I woke up feeling quite full from a big feast that we had yesterday. Me and my “worser” half have celebrated 7 years dating anniversary and we’ve decided to try out new Chinese restaurant in Helsinki. Peninsula 1899 is so far the only authentic Chinese restaurant that I’ve been to in Helsinki. Every other place was ok or bad and they pretty much all served the same tasting/ smelling food, some with more, some with less fresh ingredients, but the differences were small.

Everything that we ate yesterday at Peninsula was absolutely delicious! I can warmly recommend this restaurant to any foodie or just a local or tourist who want to try great Chinese cuisine.

The menu is not “endless” as it’s case in many Chinese restaurants, but it does offer enough of different options for everybody, from vegans to vegetarians to meat eaters.

Service was great, very polite, attentive and knew what to recommend us. Restaurant is spacious and they also have 2 different cabinets for those who wish for more privacy.

This all being said, let’s go over to the food photos which I’ve snapped before we’ve endeavoured all of these meals. 🙂
