Pineapple tarts- very buttery biscuit crust that is fragrant and crunchy. The pineapple paste is not too sweet and filled with the natural flavour of the pineapple used.

Shang palace is know for consistently good Chinese cuisine. Their dim sum is really good and we were thoroughly impressed. Really liked the carrot cake which was smooth and very light. Not greasy despite being pan fried to a crisp, and with chunks of radish dispersed evenly for contrast of texture and some bite to it. Flavour was good, being sufficiently tasty.

Shang palace has the nicest dim sum I have ever had! Especially love the liu sha bao which is only steamed when you call for it so that it arrives piping hot and molten inside. The salted egg custard is slightly savoury and sweet at the same time, while the bun is fluffy and absolutely delicious! Although rather pricey being in shangrila, Shang is definitely worth a try at least once!Make sure to get the char siew baos too! They are the best around in my opinion!

The Chinese restaurants at the Shangri La, Sheraton Towers, The Marriott and the Meritus Mandarin Orchard used to be the preferred venues for special occasion meals until the Millennium when new restaurants serving nouveau Chinese cuisine such as. Peony Jade, Silk Road, New Majestic and Yan Ting overtook them in popularity. Shang Palace retains their older clientele by keeping tradition alive while adding new ingredients to old favourites and tweaking the presentation of their dishes through individual portions & minimalist plating. Only the yusheng is presented the usual way on the lazy susan turntable, but once the tossing is done, the waitress removed the platter aside to divvy the salad into single portions.

The classic Chinese ambience is retained but with the addition of drapes & screens to offer privacy to diners, while the wait staff continue to impress with their quiet efficiency in serving their customers.

After the yusheng, we were each served a generous portion of the sublime sharks fin which was immersed in a double boiled chicken consomme. Definitely prefer this version compared to the usual sharks fin bisque (thick soup) which is too filling and also clouds out the clear, clean taste & texture of the fins.

The appetizer duo of baby abalone tart and fresh scallop with egg white are luxe dimsum from their lunch menu. Next up was my favourite - sliced abalone with dried whole scallop (conpoy), dried oyster & prawn.

The steamed garoupa in HK style was also faultlessly prepared & presented.

Another lightly seasoned dish to showcase the quality of the ingredients was the sea cucumber stuffed with minced seafood paste, which was served on a bed of blanched young spinach.

The pork rib with chef's sauce was delicious and the succulent meat was easily separated from the bone. We were already quite full after this dish. We requested the waitress not to plate the glutinous rice in lotus leaf. What is nice here is the range of desserts included in the set menu. Besides the glutinous rice, we also passed for takeaway the warm dessert of panfried nian gao.

We ended our dinner with the trio of cold desserts - a tasting portion of mango puree with pomelo sacs and almond jelly, a chewy little mochi symbolizing reunion and Shangri La's signature pineapple tart. That's a sweet finale to the Year of the Dragon.

If you feel like eating some high end Chinese foods in a classic stylish environment, this will be a good choice for you. Most of the dishes here have their own unique design and are really different from other restaurants. Like to eat their simple yet look elegant spinach with tofu. The spinach are cooked with the mashed tofu and the different types of seaonings before the are form into a 'christmas tree'. The spinach is slighty crunchy with that mixture of smooth feeling of tofu in it.

Returning umpteen times, Shang Palace or more commonly known as 香宫, has been one of my favourite dining place. The Chinese restaurant resides on the ground floor at The Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore (adjacent to the main lobby lifts), serves authentic Cantonese cuisines with provincial specialties. Chef Steven Ng is at present, the master behind the stove. (after Chef Peter Tsang has left)

Chan Kee favorite Roast Goose has not been a let down, I am glad. The skin was crisp thin and it taste as good as their popular Peking Duck. The meat was moist and tender but not right to the bones. I'd wish I have requested for a deboned portion as it can be messy when I need to teeth the meat. The meat contained fair amount of fats but not too greasy. The flavour was good enough on its own without any helping on the plum sauce accompanied. Even though I'd prefer Yung Kee's for its juicier texture and meatiness, Shang Palace's was a close match.

As for the Croaker Omelet, it went further to rouse my taste buds. I have never had a croaker omelet and by its Chinese name, I have thought it was a crab dish! Calvin explained that it was the scrambled egg white that imitates the crab meat. According to the legend, the omelet was Dowager Empress CiXi's (Qing Dynasty) favourite. The dish came about when she wanted to have crab one day but due to the lack in immediate supply, the chef decided to use egg white as a replacement and the Empress was won over. The dish becomes popular and flourish. What interests me was the tad vinegar taste in the dish and it brings out the freshness of the croaker fish. The egg white was cottony and not chunky. I am very impressed with the modest-looking egg dish.

Dessert was an assortment of Crisp green tea dumpling filled with black sesame, Baked walnut pastry and Salted egg custard bun.

Steamed Soon Hock Fish (800g for $112, the most expensive fish that i ever had, and it is very fresh!)

Its been a while since I last stepped into Shangri-La hotel (the last time being the IISS about a year back) and what better way to revisit than a leisurely dim sum meal at its flagship Chinese restaurant, Shang Palace. It definitely helped that Shang Palace was offering a 30% promotional discount on all its dim sum items.

Located at lobby level of this highly regarded premium hotel, Shang Palace's recent facelift sees a more contemporary and posh interior with elements of tradition through the usage of red crystal chandeliers amidst flowery wall panels and black wooden door arches. Is it just me or are alot of the Chinese restaurants starting to look alike
What I found rather ingenious was the tea menu. Instead of the usual book like menu, the names of the various teas were inscribed onto colour coded sticks and placed in a container. Merely a novelty, but at least it beats flipping through pages.

Custard Bun - Fast becoming one of the quintessential items on my dim sum list, the custard bun got the meal off to a great start with its piping hot and sinfully rich custard mixed with sediments of egg yolk, all contained within a soft and slightly chewy bun. I would have liked it better if the custard to bun ratio was lower, ie. decrease the amount of flour or increase the amount of custard. There's the issue of its minute size though.

Shanghai Pork Dumpling - I was utterly disappointed with Shang Palace's rendition of this classic Shanghainese dish. The skin was a tad too thick while the gravy came across as thick and oily. After popping one XLB into my mouth, I couldn't bear to eat another one.

Fried Spring Roll - This spring roll was rather different from the commonplace ones that you get elsewhere. Instead of vegetables, you get egg white and crab meat as a filling. Not that it made much of a difference honestly. The oil taste from the crisp skin overwhelmed everything. Not that egg white or crab meat had much taste to begin with though.

Shark's Fin Dumpling Soup - At $8 a bowl, the fins were ample but of very low quality. I like the fact that there were bits of scallops in the dumpling and that the soup was very light on the palate.

Deep Fried Beancurd Skin Roll with Prawns - The fried beancurd skin roll or 腐皮卷 came stuffed with prawns, spotting a nice crisp exterior that wasn't overly fried. However, it did come across as a tad too oily.

BBQ Pork Custard Bun - This dish was essentially pineapple bun stuffed with char siew (叉燒菠蘿包). I personally liked this quite a bit as the bun was soft and not too sweet while the char siew was plump and juicy. The sweetness from the char siew permeated through, which made for a nice but extremely high in calorie snack.

Siew Mai - Very much like the siew mai I had at Peach Garden, Shang Palace's offering had small chunks of prawns in it as well. There was a noticeable absence of the overwhelming pork taste that plagues alot of siew mais but I did find the salt level a little high.

Scallop & Lobster Roll - I don't quite remember the name of this dish but it tasted to me like Har Gao, which wasn't really what I was expecting. The lobster shreds were minimal, not to mention tasteless and the whole thing was mainly prawn paste (I believe) and a small piece of scallop.

Har Gao - The Har Gao skin was excessively thick and became gross when cold. Not even the crunchy prawn filling could save it after we left a piece to cool for about 10 minutes. However, when eaten hot, its still rather decent overall.

Four Treasure Flour Roll - Fancy names aside, the flour roll aka chee cheong fan, was smooth, silky and not too thick. I could only make out char siew and prawns in the filling so I'm not sure where did the 4 treasures come from. One of the better chee cheong fans I've had in a long long time.

Century Egg Porridge - $10 got me a bowl of congee that's probably three quarters the size of those you get for $3 at food centres. Topped with thin slices of crispy dough fritters, the porridge had a generous amount of chicken shreds and century egg. But I did think that the chef was a little too liberal with the salt.

A disappointment really. The mini egg tarts were, as the name suggests, mini and the pastry was a little too flaky. No buttery undertone that I personally like as well. The custard filling could also have done with more sugar. $4.90 for 3 is really a rip off.

It was really an expensive dim sum experience, at $113 before discount and $87 after a 30% early bird discount for 2 pax. Overall I thought that the dim sum lacked finesse, and pales in comparison to places like Royal China or Yan Ting. Service was good but pacing of the dishes would be much appreciated - all my dishes came in the space of 10 minutes. I highly doubt that I'll be back, not even with the discount.

I love the scallop tou fu from shang palace. The gravy is really thick and delicious. It is not too salty as well. The scallop is very succulent and juicy. The tou fu is very smooth. One bite of scallop and tou fu is heavenly. They added mushroom and asparagus into the dish. It gives the dish more texture. there is also fish roe on top of the dish giving it a crunch. I am very satisfied with the dish. It is a must order when you visit there.

I haven’t been to Shang Palace for a long time. Totally forgotten the facet of the interior, but I learnt that it has undergone a major renovation few years ago & the main theme for Shang Palace’s décor is “dining in a Chinese Garden”.

Upon entering the restaurant, floral motifs take centrestage on the red glass ceiling & exquisite handpainted walls were clearly visible.

An extensive selection of tea greeted me, as I took my seat. The tea menu was interestingly presented in a container, somewhat looked like what devotees use in a Chinese temple.

Each type of tea was inscribed on a wooden “stick” & on it reads the Concoction. Pretty cool!

My purpose here was to sample some tim-sim. I’m quite fussy about Siew Mai & it's not too bad here. Most importantly, I can taste the chunky bite-sized prawns where some restaurants are really stingy in giving that.

However, the Deep-fried White Bait (S$8) was miserable. It was oily & soggy. I don't blame them. Not many restaurants can perfect this appetizer.

The Deep-fried Wanton (S$8) was even worse. Though unique in its serving, which came with a bowl of sweet & sour sauce & some "Char Siew" slices, it was somehow bland. There was also not much fillings in the wanton, I can only taste the skin.

This bowl of Braised Shark's Fin & Seafood @ S$48 is not worth trying at all. I could hardly find the fins. Only consolation was that it was piping hot & stock was tasty.

On the other hand, the Asparagus, Lily Bulb & Shimeji (S$18) was such a delight. The vegetables were crunchy & the Japanese mushrooms were deep-fried to perfection. I've enjoyed the combination & it was delicious.

Their dessert was quite successful too. The vanilla ice-cream was floating on a plate of refreshing avacado cream with sago. At least our meal ended on a sweet note. But honestly, I won't be going back to Shang Palace.
