Wing Lei

Wing Lei Restaurant Review:

The view of its garden with 100-year-old pomegranate trees and a Botero sculpture outside Wing Lei's wall-to-wall picture window provides an elegant ambience for this Chinese restaurant. There's also a pedigree --- Wing Lei's English translation is “forever prosperous.” The extensive menu includes a two-course Peking duck dinner with table-carved roasted duck, steamed buns, cucumber, scallions and hoisin sauce and diced duck in lettuce cups. From the à la carte choices, we like the crispy shrimp toast with green papaya salad and plum sauce. Sampan prawns served with crispy garlic, scallions and jalapeño; grilled sea bass accompanied by lotus root, enoki mushrooms, spinach and asparagus; and wok-fried Maine lobster with scallions, ginger and sherry sauce are also winners. Among popular side dishes are three cup eggplant and mapo tofu. Sesame crème brûlée and refreshing lychee sorbet are among sweet finales. The noteworthy wine list nicely complements the versatile cuisine. Wing Lei welcomes children aged five years and older.
