Shangri-La

One of the biggest and most consistently popular restaurants in the city center serves a wide-ranging choice of mostly Cantonese food, with special emphasis on the cuisine of Shanghai. With room for around 300 guests, it contains two separate dining rooms, each with its own bar, and a red, gold, and green decor reminiscent of a Confucian temple. Many regulars opt to begin a meal with dim sum, the delicate steamed or fried dumplings whose variations are almost infinite. Expect well-flavored treatments of virtually every succulently stir-fried vegetable that's in season at the moment and myriad preparations of fish, shellfish, duck, pork, chicken, and beef. Specialties include fried scallops and asparagus served in a "bird's nest," or sautéed king prawns and cashew nuts.
