Named after the famous Tang-dynasty poet, the ambience at this Sheraton Towers stalwart is a feat in and of itself. Think Jade table settings, bone chopsticks, and discreet waitstaff. The dining concept here harkens back to the days of grand Emperors in China, so you can expect fresh ingredients and premium nosh in an equally opulent setting. Located centrally, the menus here cater to a variety of diners, so whether you’re after a exquisite business lunch or a cosy dinner, veteran chef Chung Yiu Ming’s delicious creations have got you covered.

The executive lunch set is a big hit with office workers, as is the dim sum menu, which features an array of delicate nibbles crafted with premium ingredients. We especially love the Crystal Skin Dumpling, a tender creation bursting with colourful vegetables. Meals here begin with the classic Chinese delicacy, Shark’s Cartilage Soup. Rich, tender fish maw and Goji Berries are the crowning glory of this light soup, that makes for the perfect precursor to the carefully curated cuisine that follows.

Whether you’re a seasoned diner or completely new to Cantonese cuisine, if you’re after a taste of Hong Kong, this is the place for you. (Apr 2018)
