🦆 Halifax’s Controversial Asian Fusion Spot – Asia Restaurant Review!

📍 Asia Restaurant Downtown Halifax This Instagram-famous, debate-stirring eatery serves "pretty but pricey" Peking duck, luxe dumpling towers, and cocktails that outshine some dishes – perfect for aesthetic-driven group hangs. 🏆 Why It’s Polarizing ✔ Photo ops: Gold-leaf dumplings, smoke-filled cocktail glasses ✔ Portion math: $110 duck = 3-4 people or regret ✔ Sugar rush: Chocolate caramel bomb = diabetic coma risk 🥢 What We Ordered 🦆 Peking Duck ($110) ★★★☆☆ Quebec duck, 48-hour brine, cold slices, sweet glaze – not Beijing, but decent. 🥟 Premium Dim Sum ($26/4pc) ★★★★☆ XO scallop siu mai, wagyu black pepper dumpling, crab+ lobster bling – 1-bite luxury. 🦀 Snow Crab Cake ($22/4pc) ★★★☆☆ Fermented tofu, sand ginger, cilantro – sweet umami. 🍸 Forgotten Cocktail (~$16) ★★★★★ Can’t recall name, but the smoke effect slayed. 🍫 Caramel Chocolate Chaos ($14) ★★☆☆☆ Sugar tsunami, edible gold flakes, regret by bite three. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Best for: Birthday snaps, splitting duck, boozy brunch ✔ Skip if: You crave authenticity or hate sweet sauces ✔ Hack: Order duck LAST (it cools fast while you photograph dumplings) 💰 Damage: ~$50-90 per person #HalifaxEats #AsianFusion #DramaDining
