What's good about it: Chefs at the hotel's 58 Grill have prepared a complete takeout menu for the Thanksgiving celebration. In addition to the black-and-white-meat and sage gravy turkey, there are also well-proportioned side dishes including caramelized Brussels sprouts, confit duck and chestnuts, grilled mushrooms, pumpkin pie and mascarpone with lime sorbet for dessert.

Waldorf Astoria Shanghai

Weight: 8-10 kg

Price: 698 yuan plus 15 percent surcharge per adult, 348 yuan plus 15 percent surcharge per child.

What's good about it: The luxury hotel is not offering turkey takeout this year. But instead, a more "complete American traditional Thanksgiving experience" is provided on the night of the holiday in the hotel's marble-floored and oval-shaped dining space, Grand Brasserie. Aside from the signature roast turkey, a lavish buffet dinner is prepared and live Jazz band will entertain guests. Roasted with bountiful fruits and vegetables including apples, oranges, pumpkins, and chestnuts, the turkey features a sweet and savory flavor, likely to outshine some of the more luxurious offerings on the buffet menu like the Foie Gras and the freshly imported oysters.
