WHY GO

The destinatio­n for haute Chinese cuisine. The hushed, sumptuous setting gives one a sense of privacy, and serves as the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience.

TATLER TIPS

The verdict is in on the roasted U.S. farm Peking duck, a measure of the chef's cooking prowess—excellent! The meat was tender, seasoned delicately to bring out the meat's natural flavour; and the skin was golden with a light crunch. Tellingly, the pancake was firm to hold its delectable contents, but thin enough not to overwhelm. Make room for dessert, the sensationa­l coconut pralines with white chocolate, crispy pancakes filled with lotus paste and green tea, and the oven-baked crispy lotus wafers, nearly stole the show.
