For more than 30 years, Shun Lee Palace has been the go-to spot for haute Chinese cuisine uptown. All your favorites are included, if more expensive than usual, on their menu, but so are diet-friendly dishes and one-of-a-kind creations, such as prawns on banana leaves with curry sauce, for the discerning crowd. The chef has a cookbook available if you want to try your hand at this, but then you'd miss the stunning room and great people-watching; both are almost as satisfying as the food.
