When it comes to a taste of nostalgic decadence, nothing can beat The Chairman. This respected restaurant started delivering traditional yet opulent dishes before Chinese fine dining became a trend, and its standards have never wavered. Signatures include steamed fresh flowery crab with aged Shaoxing wine, and fragrant chicken oil and flat rice noodles.

The Chairman is famous for serving dishes that are either long-forgotten or have been cast aside due to their labour-intensive preparation. A good example is the barbecued chicken liver with Chinese bun, where the bittersweet flavour of the liver is complemented perfectly by the sauce and a fluffy bun.
