Get ready, food lovers, Shangri-La is turning up the heat this September with a one-of-a-kind dining experience that’s all about mastery, creativity, and mouthwatering Chinese flavors. For the first time ever, four of Shangri-La’s top master chefs are joining forces for an exclusive Shangri La 8 hands dinner series, hosted across Shang Palace restaurants in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul, and Jeddah.
Running from Thursday, September 18 to Tuesday, September 30, the limited-time Shangri La 8 hands dinner series promises an unforgettable eight-course journey that celebrates the very best of Chinese cuisine, from age-old traditions to bold modern twists. Think of it as a delicious prelude to Shangri-La’s upcoming Taste of Shangri-La celebration happening worldwide this October.
Each dinner will bring together the unique culinary voices of four star chefs:
- Chef Peter Lau Chee Wei from Shangri-La Dubai, known for blending Cantonese, Teochew, Malaysian, and Singaporean flavors into artful plates.
- Chef Qiguo Su from Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi, a Sichuan specialist famous for his refined Peking Duck and mastery of spice.
- Chef Cheng Lu from Shangri-La Bosphorus, Istanbul, whose three decades of experience shine through in his delicate dim sum and signature seafood dishes.
- Chef Sky Wong Kum Choy from Shangri-La Jeddah, a trailblazer of modern Chinese cuisine with a flair for mixing authentic techniques and global influences.
Together, they’ll craft a bespoke Shangri La 8 hands dinner series that reads like a love letter to Chinese gastronomy. Expect standout creations like King Crab with Caviar, Spinach, and Shredded Tofu Broth, Wok-Fried Wagyu Beef Striploin with Garlic, and Wok-Fried Boston Lobster with Egg Yolk. Every dish tells a story, one that blends heritage, innovation, and pure culinary artistry.
The Shangri La 8 hands dinner series kicks off in Dubai, continues to Abu Dhabi, then heads to Istanbul before wrapping up in Jeddah. While each city offers its own ambiance, the spirit remains the same: an intimate, elevated dining experience crafted by four masters who live and breathe Chinese cuisine.
