I went to the Shang Palace for the second time this weekend. I am glad to report that it is still good. The rmb118 for 2, unlimited dim sum deal is still on, even though we didnt go for that option.
We just ordered alacarte and the total bill came to under RMB200 for 2 people. Had some dim sum, including an interesting wasabi prawn dumplings. Wontons in hot and sour soup was also very nice. Best of all was the suckling pig mixed platter for RMB68. it consisted of some great suckling pig, as well as chicken, bar be que pork, and roast duck. All great.
Also, at the back of their menu they have a range of tea ranging from RMB 10 to RMB40 or so a cup. I opted for a RMB10 cup of jasmine tea and it was of good quality.
Finally, while you are there and if the mooncakes are still around, grab yourself a box of their 'ice skin mooncake' or 'ping bi yue ping'. RMB238 for a box of 6. Put them in the fridge when you get home and eat them straight from the fridge. Like ice cream mooncakes..... Pity mooncake time comes but once a year.
It is wonderful to be surprised...
