Sweeping views of Victoria Harbor come paired with excellent Shanghainese and Zhejiang classics – Jinhua ham with osmanthus and honey, fried whole prawns with xo chili sauce and sweet almond cream with egg white for dessert. The only exception to this Jiangnan harmony is the Cantonese dim sum being served at lunch, though that too is excellent.
