Michelin-star experience


World-class chefs and the highest-quality ingredients turn classic Shanghainese fare into a spectacular culinary journey at the Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel Shanghai


A


Michelin star is the hallmark of fine dining; the ultimate recognition of a culinary team’s skill, the quality of ingredients used and the imagination that has been poured into a menu.


The Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel Shanghai is therefore thrilled


to announce it has been awarded a Michelin star for its Shang- High cuisine once again in 2018 – the second consecutive year since the Michelin Guide launched in Shanghai. While it is notoriously difficult for any restaurant to achieve


this coveted accolade it’s even harder for Chinese cuisine to gain acknowledgement. But rather than dazzle customers with a flamboyant menu and avant-garde tricks, Executive Chinese Chef Frank Hu at Shang-High chose to go back to basics and focus on traditional Shanghainese dishes. Creating a pure menu of Shanghainese classics, however,


was not enough. After all, there is no shortage of Shanghainese dishes all over China. In order to distinguish Shang-High, Chef Hu insists on top-quality, fresh ingredients and immaculate preparation. For example, to create the classic Fresh River Shrimps dish, each tiny shrimp is painstakingly shelled by hand, ensuring a sweet, fresh and vibrant flavor when dipped in its traditional accompaniment of rice wine vinegar. Chef Hu has also used his years of experience to elevate


the dishes by adding a hint of something new and exciting. At Shang-High, the Braised Cuttlefish with Pigeon Eggs and the Smoked Pomfret, both iconic Shanghainese dishes, have been

infused with unusual ingredients and amazing presentations to give diners an unexpected delight. But as every top chef knows, gaining a Michelin Star is one


thing – keeping the title year after year is another. Rising to the challenge, Chef Hu is constantly experimenting and reinventing the classic dishes on his menu. He travels all over the world for inspiration and fresh ingredients to give Shanghainese cuisine a unique spin. Finally, attention must be paid to the environment. The elegant,


traditional Chinese décor of Shang-High in the main dining room and seven private dining areas is the perfect accompaniment to the exquisite Chinese cuisine food that is served.
