Restaurant
Xiang Shang Xiang (Jinhe East Road)
The chain now runs a few establishments in Beijing and Chengdu, but the story started in 2021 at this very first outlet. A veteran with 20-plus years of experience under his belt, Chef Peng revamps the menu every now and then to keep it fresh. He presents a good-value set menu featuring 24 different chilli peppers – heaven for spicy food lovers. The butler, tea master and sommelier go the extra mile to deliver thoughtful, meticulous service.
Michelin Selected (or "listed") restaurants receive recognition for solid performance but fall short of stars or Bib Gourmand, often noted for competence during travel.
