Shang Palace — Michelin-starred Cantonese Festive Menus
Michelin-starred Shang Palace presents an exclusive eight-course Dragon Boat Festival Menu (for four persons; HK$3,888), masterfully curated by Chef Gordon Lung, the Corporate Chinese Chef (Hong Kong) of Shangri-La Group. This menu celebrates the essence of Cantonese cuisine through premium seasonal ingredients and refined culinary craftsmanship. Signature dishes include double-boiled partridge soup with matsutake and fish maw, slow-simmered to achieve a clear yet richly layered broth, where tender partridge meat offers both nourishment and delicate flavour. Another highlight is the stir-fried spotted garoupa fillet with ginger and spring onion in clay pot, locking in the fish’s natural sweetness and freshness. The deep-fried Matsuba claw coated with minced shrimp features a crispy golden exterior with a juicy, flavourful interior, delivering a delightful contrast in texture. Each dish demonstrates meticulous control of cooking techniques and thoughtful ingredient pairing, elevating traditional Cantonese cuisine into an extraordinary festive dining experience.
