Shangri-La's dining standards are recognizable, with Shangri-La's Summer Palace in Hong Kong being awarded two Michelin stars and Beijing being named one of the 1,000 Most Outstanding Restaurants in the World by LALISTE International Cuisine 2018. Shanghai's summer palace is also on par with the former.
Located at Jing An Shangri-La, Summer Palace specializes in Cantonese and Huaiyang cuisine. This allows the summer palace to avoid the minefield of difficult to reconcile, and the diversified options allow it to have a foothold in the bustling Jing'an district.
There are many Cantonese dishes on the menu, and the manager will patiently recommend them according to the tastes of diners. Soups have always been the opening star of the table. The original cup of Huaiqi stewed snails, American ginseng and golden silk dates stewed fresh abalone, thick soup bamboo fungus fish maw soup are stewed very hot, suitable for business banquets. The siu mei in the menu is a must-try. Pipa suckling pig pieces, roast meat bricks with chemical skin, Guangdong gold medal roast goose, charcoal roast crystal barbecued pork, southern milk roast chicken, white-cut three yellow chicken with scallion oil fresh sand ginger juice are of a high standard, and the appearance and taste are online at the same time.
In terms of Huaiyang cuisine, Huaiyang double-flavored river shrimp, eggplant river eel, summer palace ingots meat, squirrel osmanthus fish, and boiled dried shreds are well done; Huaiyang xiaolongbao, Huaiyang wonton, and fish noodle soup are also Huaiyang snacks with a high rate of serving. In addition, local specialties such as fried black pork with Beijing onions, spicy chicken and shrimp in Geyue Mountain, and fried chicken with Hainan sauce are also worth trying.
Overall, the dim sum production of Summer Palace has been criticized a lot, and the taste has declined more seriously, but the production of Cantonese cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine has increased steadily, making it a safe choice for many people to dine.
The decoration of the summer palace is very new, with golden chandeliers, crimson carpets, and white tablecloths to set off the taste of a star-rated Cantonese restaurant. The seats are very comfortable, and the spacious dining space allows people to relax and talk. The restaurant is comfortable and private. The waiter is soft-spoken, attentive everywhere, and the 10% service charge is very reasonable.
