...fabulous La Prairie spa-where treatments range from the unusual (vanilla exfoliation) to the utterly decadent (caviar wraps). Speaking of decadence, chef André Chiang at the Tec-Tec Restaurant blends his Taiwanese heritage with French training (Gagnaire and Robuchon are both on his CV) to produce a superb Franco-Asian cuisine, with touches of tandoor and creole.
