Madame Chang

Frommer's Review

Some of the best Chinese food found outside China is here in Panama, and Madame Chang is where you come to savor it. Few restaurants serve a more delectable Peking duck, but there are also the jumbo shrimp a la sal, the gingery San Blas crab, the prawn rolls, and clams in black-bean sauce -- really, everything on the menu is worth recommending, so you'll have to go with whatever seems appealing. The proprietor, Siu Mee Chang, and her daughter Yolanda have merged the old with the new: The elegant ambience is more smart-casual than button-up conservative, and the cuisine blends traditional recipes from all Chinese provinces, but with a contemporary touch. Madame Chang also shakes up killer martinis.
