Summer Palace Restaurant

InterContinental Hotel

Summer Palace restaurant located in InterContinental Hotel, President Tower Arcade. The restaurant has always been a favorite destination for those seeking superb Cantonese cuisine. Famous for its opulence, delicious dim sum, fresh seafood, soup specialties and stir-fried noodles are some of the dishes on the menu. The restaurant was recently relaunched after a three-month, US$550,000 renovation that sent the executive chef Allan Tse (who started cooking at the age of 13 at the famed Wing Kee restaurant in Hong Kong) on an extensive journey to China to forage for hard-to-find spices, herbs and creative ideas for the new menu.

Somebody went to Beijing, Shandong, Shanghai and Szechwan provinces," says chef Tse. "There, I discovered a lot of tasty ingredients - spices, herbs, new marinades and different regional cuisines of China." The new menu contains about 40 new dishes he's picked up from his journey. Tse has created a grilled duck flavored by spices indigenous to the Beijing region, which are used to tenderise the meat. He also stuffs the poultry with a herbal marinade with parsley and onion while grilling it and makes use of the leftovers to make a rich, creamy gravy to go with each serving. Grilled duck is a part of Summer Palace's popular appetiser platter - which also includes slices of Hong-Kong-style suckling pig that come with a thick fat layer and heavy sweet soy sauce, drunken chicken with a spring onion sauce, scrumptious barbecue pork laced with special Chinese whiskey, and grilled duck breast served with a generous bowl of Tse's special gravy. We also tried the crunchy and refreshing spicy jellyfish salad, which, according to Tse, is made from whole imported jellyfish. Dim sum (now offered with Beijing-style dumplings) is available for lunch.ย�ย�
