Shanghai Palace, better known to her regulars as simply "Tottie's," is Asian Fusion fused in all the right places. She holds her food up to the highest standard and will give you a hard time (personally) if you try to subvert that effort.
My favorite story is of when my roommate (GUILTY - we lived at San Tropez apartments and walked there three of the six days that place was open) went to get some soup "to go" and she made him sit there and enjoy her soup, refusing to put it in a styrofoam container to go. "You eat here. Too much trouble. Soup TOO good TO GO. Tastes better sitting down..."
Tottie: You rock my socks! Since visiting Shanghai Palace, I've been comparing every Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant to it. And i fear I'll never stop.
