On the second floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai, we took our seats before to the obligatory fish tank offering calming Asian aesthetics alongside a healthy dose of Feng Shui and immediately began to admire the unique cutlery and table settings of Si Ji Xuan Chinese Restaurant. Resembling a royal place mat, before each of us was a square jade plate. The spoon’s base matched the plate’s attractive stone as well as a traditional Chinese carp carved from jade, it’s pale green back a rest for our chopsticks.

China Spice

Location

5 Guihua Road, 4F, Futian Free Trade Zone, Shenzhen,// 深圳市桂花路5号4 4F, 福田保税区. (86)(755) 8358-8653

So many Cantonese restaurants around the world have the same familiar ideas at heart: crowded, noisy, and just the place to fill the stomach with Chinese food. Having dinner at China Spice is like enjoying authentic Cantonese cuisine while enjoying million dollar view looking down the most flourishing part of Guangdong Province. The combination of landscape and gastronomy become the new fashion in Chinese cuisine.

If you play the face game or you just like to eat, holidays of any kind in Mainland China are an especially good time to get your act on. From solid classics such as the mid-autumn festival and its moon cake sets to foreign favourites such as Easter and even nationality-specific events like Oktoberfest and Thanksgiving, any established name in hospitality here knows that it’s a good time to strut one’s stuff when these events roll around, and when it comes to the western holidays, in terms of scale of execution in Beijing, Christmas is definitely number one.

Dining at various Hyatt properties in Shanghai, I have always been impressed by their corporate style efficiency and sophisticated decorum. Their restaurants tend to retain signature elements for regular diners. Xindalu China Kitchen at Hyatt on the Bund is no exception and made its imprint as Shanghai’s first choice for wood-fire roasted Peking Duck.
