    Thumbs up Shark fin off the menu

    A brave step forward from the Peninsula Group (The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels Ltd)
    Sea change? Peninsula takes shark fin off menu | HK News Watch | Latest Hong Kong, China & World News | SCMP.com

    "From the start of next year, The Peninsula will stop serving the iconic Chinese dish. It is the first hotel in the city to impose a complete ban"
    and
    "The Four Seasons yesterday said it had removed shark fin from all its basic banquet packages but would still offer it on request"

    Props to the Peninsula! The grand old dame can still be hip.

    If they weren't thinking about it before, then they will now!

    This is really good. Hopefully other hotels do the same thing.

    but they are still offering it on request. Why not just scrub it out entirely as a matter of principle.
