At Summer Palace, every detail is fit for royalty. Here, the dishes are not only prepared for an emperor; every diner is served like one. An extra chair for bags suddenly appears; hot water is offered in place of a complimentary pot of tea; a car pass is given without you asking for one.
tatler tipS
• The crab meat dim sum with cilantro elevates this delicious morsel a rung. Likewise, the signature dish of sautéed crab meat with scallops and egg does the little crustacean tasty justice.
• The black & white rice with eel or crab meat is a meal in itself, but it is best to order right away given the preparation time.
• Lest you forget dessert, the waitstaff will not only remind you, they will also suggest the most popular one: lemongrass jelly with lemon sorbet.
