‘If you want elegance to impress a business partner, this is the place’, notes one reader, clearly taken with the opulent silks & glossy lacquered wood that adorn the sultry interior of this glamorous modern Chinese. Dim sum is the USP & there’s ample choice, from plump scallop dumplings to crispy squid with salted egg yolk, steamed spare ribs or moreish mooli ‘croissants’. Everything shows attention to detail: witness ‘tai chi’ – roast duck & preserved vegetables encased in two-tone squid ink pastry for a yin-yang effect. Larger dishes include steamed Chilean sea bass with Chinese mushrooms & crisp slices of lotus root or Shanghai-style braised pork belly in sweet vinegar, while liquid refreshment comes from an above-average wine list, signature cocktails & exotic teas such as ‘thousand-day flower’. Expect attentive, if sometimes erratic service from plentiful staff.
