Far from being a typical rice and noodle slop shop, Michael Tong’s palatial eatery is haute Chinese to the hilt, with an air as deservingly haughty and refined as Gong Li in Shanghai Triad. Heads will turn at the Peking Duck, the “Ants Climb on Tree,” or “Lion’s Head with Vegetable” (lean pork fashioned in the shape of a lion’s head). Just remember, if you opt for Beggar’s Chicken, make sure you reserve it 24 hours in advance so the chef can sprinkle it with rose petal liqueur every half hour. Not ideal if you are pinching your pennies, but if you are on an expense account, trying to impress a client, or simply want to pamper your Buddha belly, then this is the p-a-lace.
