"With a multi-faceted and vibrant life (as detailed in the documentary, aka Mr. Chow), Michael Chow has imbued his eponymous eatery at Caesars Palace with a lifetime’s worth of artistry and unique dishes that are unmistakably his own. The glazed prawns with walnuts is a popular starter, and a Beijing duck for the table is almost mandatory here, with the tableside carving presentation approaching performance art. The green prawns (don’t let the color fool you) carry a deliciously delicate flavor but the dressed Dungeness crab, a house specialty featuring rich crabmeat deftly folded into a cloud of egg whites, is yet another delectable work of art born from the mind of a culinary genius. And although it’s an unlikely option for dessert in a gourmet Chinese restaurant, Mr Chow’s coconut cream cake is an impossibly rich, custardy version that puts other renditions of the classic dessert to shame." - Janna Karel, David Yeskel
