WHY GO
The elegant Chinese restaurant could easily be the reason behind one of the stars of the Marco Polo Hotel. The classic approach to the cuisine honours the rich Chinese history of the city, as well as the discerning tastes of old and new clientele.
TATLER TIPS
Despite the formal adherence to flavour and method when it comes to the menu, the setting is relaxed. It is as welcoming to families as it is to business meetings.
• The fresh dim sum trio of siomai, nori and tamago roll, and xiaolongbao is a satisfying sampler of the kitchen’s skill in dumplings.
• Bite into jumbo-sized deep-fried salted egg prawns that are fantastically succulent and juicy.
• The braised home-made tofu with enoki mushroom is silken and smooth, offering a light, melt-in-your-mouth texture that bursts with a surprising sweetness.
