"The shrimp dumpling is the most iconic dish in Cantonese dim sum, and Shang Palace’s version is unrivalled. On top of the freshness of the shrimp, the dumpling is a winner with a dumpling skin thinner than 1mm and contains the optimal proportion of shrimp and fatty pork (600g of shrimp to 37g of pork). With just the right amount of steaming time, the result is shrimp dumplings with a lot of body, springiness and oozing with sweet meat juices."

"I especially liked the stir-fried rice flour rolls with dried shrimp and X.O. chili sauce that offered the appropriate springy, spongy texture and a very intense, precise presence of the chili sauce."

"The dim sum dishes were even better, with the crispy spring rolls with shrimp and yellow chives effectively very crispy and not at all oily."

"My son received his own order of cha siu bao, or, barbecue pork buns. I saw how he literally closed his eyes after taking the first bite and knew he will never eat another cha siu bao outside of Hong Kong again."

"An excellent dessert to have at the end of lunch or dinner at Shang Palace would be the Sweetened Bird’s Nest Soup with Ginseng served in Whole Coconut."

"Shang Palace serves Braised Bird’s Nest and Winter Squash Soup which was excellent. Although we did not really get any winter squash taste, the soup was quite flavorful."

"Taro cakes were soft and crispy, with flavours of taro and seafood evolving in your mouth, a perfect match with a pinot grigio or pinot blanc."
on Yu tou gao
"The king prawn dumplings virtually melt in your mouth, making you feel that the chef really wants customers to feel and enjoy the fresh seafood inside."
on Har gow
"The prawn filled spring rolls are a real delicacy: huge in size with large prawns inside covered by a soft delicate and tasty pastry with no trace of oil, served with a mustard mayonnaise."
