The Shang Palace is also a wonderful Sunday night dining option, as I was reminded recently when I met a friend there for dinner. We feasted on one of the world’s best Peking ducks crispy lacquered duck skin with rice-flour crêpes and wok-sautéed duck breast; sole with black beans and peppers; and aubergine braised with chicken and salted fish in a clay pot. The service is exceptionally suave, and they pour an excellent selection of wines by the glass.
