The à la carte menu features king prawn in sweet and spicy plum sauce, pan-fried Hokkaido scallops in fig sauce, and poached fresh crabmeat dumpling in thick chicken soup.

For dessert, the baked sago pudding is a traditional item that is rare to find and even harder to perfect, but Summer Palace does it exceptionally well.
