In addition to a luxury accommodation environment, guests of a high-end hotel, in particular a five-star hotel, will of course take delicacies into consideration as one of the preconditions. InBeijing, however, almost all the major high-end hotels are mainly serving Western cuisine and it is rare to see a Chinese restaurant in such a hotel. The Chinese restaurant in one ofBeijing’s five-star hotel to be introduced here, the Huang Ting restaurant in The Peninsula Beijing, is expected to bring a new dining experience for you.

The Huang Ting restaurant in The Peninsula Beijing

The Huang Ting restaurant has been famous for its trustworthy, authentic Cantonese cuisine flavor and five-star-hotel style services for many years. It absorbs new health concepts or even adds a little of spicy temptation in accordance with customers’ requirements while adhering to the Cantonese cuisine’s tradition, which has been the most attractive at the restaurant. Balancing changes and adherence, Huang Ting is continuing writing classic chapters for Cantonese cuisine and has been included on the Best 50 list for three consecutive years. It is grand but in a low profile, with profound connotations and a typical Chinese style. Its head chef refuses resolutely to use any monosodium glutamate or food additives and insists on making dishes more delicious using soup-stock made from such materials asold-hen meat and ham.

The worn chrysanthemum pear desks and chairs in Huang Ting reflect the restaurant’s compound connotations and its popularity. While thePeninsulahotel, where Huang Ting is located, has been famous for its British-style afternoon tea, it is hard to imagine how high the quality of Chinese tea and pastries is at Huang Ting, which is absolutely worth a visit, even just for a cup of premium tea. Though it is situated in the bustling Wangfujing business district, no noise can be heard at this Cantonese cuisine restaurant, which is rich in Chinese temperament and always maintains its distinctive tranquility and elegance.
