zero star...
We held our dinner at Summer Palace (夏宮) for the first time, and will most certainly be our last. Honestly, the only time I've dined here in the last 8 years or so was a wine dinner 2 months ago - and I came for the wine, not the food. I never understood why people liked the food here, and laughed my head off when the Michelin people gave this place 2 stars.
Baked stuffed crab shell (焗釀鮮蟹蓋) - once again this was very, very yummy. I refrained from using any sauces at the beginning, since the taste of crab meat was good enough by itself. I could also taste the butter... slurp...
Sautéed prawns and scallops in crispy nest (雀巢海中寳) - honestly very ho-hum. I had one scallop and one prawn, with lots of celery along with part of the deep-fried dough that made up the nest.
Double-boiled sea whelk soup with US ginseng (花旗參燉螺頭湯) - the smell and taste of ginseng was overpowering. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but our evening was about wine and this would be distracting. Then there was the whelk... We asked for a menu that would work well with red wines, and we get whelk?! I accidentally took a sip of wine after chewing on a piece of the shellfish, and my mouth was filled instantly with that "fishy" taste. What a disaster!
Pan-fried fillet of tiger garoupa in gravy (燒汁煎老虎斑扒) - WTF?! Tiger garoupa isn't exactly a cheap fish, and they choose to fillet it and then pan-fried it with batter on the outside?! Why can't they just steam it?! And that sauce... so much sugar I thought it was syrup... I had joked earlier about my last dinner here being very "gweilo", and here's a perfectly gweilo dish! I guess this is why the Michelin people like the place...
Braised black mushrooms with seasonal vegetables (北菇扒時蔬) - this was OK. Mushrooms were nice.
Deep-fried crispy chicken (脆皮炸子雞) - didn't find this memorable, but that might have been thanks to the amount of alcohol I've had by this time...
Braised flat noodles with shredded barbecued pork and ginger (薑蔥叉燒撈粗麵) - we finally blew up, and called the waiter over. While the scallion and ginger-flavored sauce was tasty, there was no trace of char siu in any of our bowls... The waiter subsequently brought us a plate of fatty char siu (半肥瘦叉燒), and the quality of the meat made things even worse... This pretty much put Summer Palace off our approved list of restaurants.
Not worthy of even a single star in my book. If you're in that neighborhood, Golden Leaf would be a much better choice.

Overall Rating
OK
2 star?
I think the food is good here, but doesn't deserve 2 stars. Service can be sloppy when the restaurant is busy but overall very polite.
What I like is that they don't use that much oil in their dishes, so it's healthier.

Elegant
Very elegant atmosphere and ultra attentive service. Expect dim sum that are a little different, using ingredients of better quality. Very crowded at weekends.

The red palace
Very 5-star Chinese hotel restaurant. Always packed at lunches so book early. Dinner times are better, but you will miss the exquisite dim sums. Other main dishes such as the crispy chicken and the drunken prawns are highly recommended.
