His menu is designed to offer a meaningful glimpse into the regional stories and cooking techniques that have shaped his journey.
Guests can look forward to dishes such as the Deep-Fried Chicken with Shrimp Paste and Garlic, Marinated Sichuan Chicken with Spring Onions, and the elegant Wen Si Tofu in Spring Onion Broth. The mains include the aromatic Steamed Lobster with Garlic on Glass Noodles, Braised Lamb Shank with Sichuan pepper and five spices, Stir-Fried King Oyster Mushroom with Bell pepper in Soya Sauce each highlighting the diversity and depth of Chinese culinary traditions.
The menu also offers a delectable selection of vegetarian dishes, including Mapo Tofu, Hot Stone Pot Rice with Pickled Yunnan Chili, and Stir-Fried Mock Fish with Asparagus, ensuring a balanced and inclusive dining experience. To conclude the meal on a special note, guests can relish a delicately crafted Sesame Rice Ball, a nod to nostalgic Chinese desserts and simple comforts.
Each dish is a study in restraint and refinement, brought together not just by recipes, but by memory, discipline, and deep respect for the provenance of ingredients.
Set in the warm, contemporary refinement of Shang Palace, with its refined interiors and private dining spaces, this residency offers an immersive and intimate way to experience Chef Jasen’s interpretation of Chinese cuisine.
