Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur returns with a refined celebration of traditional Chinese cuisine.
Let’s set the scene: plush interiors, porcelain teacups, the warm, familiar scent of jasmine tea in the air. At Shang Palace, the Chinese fine dining gem at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, heritage isn’t just preserved—it’s reimagined.
Shang Palace unveils a bold new à la carte menu by Chinese Executive Chef Keith Yeap, inviting guests on an immersive culinary journey through Cantonese tradition, layered with contemporary storytelling.
Tradition, But Make It Sexy
Now, let’s be clear: Cantonese food has always been elegant. But Chef Keith, who brings two decades of experience from top kitchens across Asia and the Middle East, infuses it with a kind of poetic modernity that makes you sit up straighter in your chair. His creations are elegant without being austere. They’re warm, grounded, and rich with emotional texture.
Take, for example, the Smoked Wagyu Beef Ribs infused with Jasmine Tea. Yes, you read that right. These aren’t your usual ribs—they’re a multi-stage masterpiece, beginning with a slow stew before a jasmine-scented smoke bath, delivering tender, floral luxury on a plate.
Delicate Drama and Bold Bites in Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur
But the drama doesn’t end there. The Silk Lava Shrimp Ball, with its molten centre and golden crust, is as fun as it is photogenic—think creamy mozzarella meets mango sweetness, wrapped in shrimp elegance.
Meanwhile, Okra in Special Malaysian Sambal offers a local twist that connects ancestral roots with bold spice.
Seafood lovers? You’re covered. The Braised Canadian Wild Rice with Sea Cucumber, Lobster selections, and Mekong Freshwater Prawn Noodles are all part of this narrative. Each dish celebrates depth, balance, and the quiet power of slow cooking.
Plant-Based? Still Chic
Vegetarians don’t miss out either. The Sweet and Sour Garden Mushrooms with Lychee and the Crispy White Jade Mushrooms in Peppercorn Sauce are thoughtfully crafted for both nutrition and aesthetic joy. The dishes feel like a capsule collection—carefully curated and surprisingly on-trend.
Refined Dim Sum Affair in Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur
