LONDON, 26 October 2015: Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard, London, is delighted to welcome Two Michelin-star Chef Ip Chi Cheung as first guest chef at TING Restaurant, on the 35th floor of the Renzo Piano designed building. Chef Cheung will showcase his dishes from the Summer Palace restaurant at Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong.
In his pursuit of excellence, Chef Ip only works with the freshest produce to allow the full and unique flavour of each ingredient to be brought out. He places emphasis on aroma, colour, taste, texture and contrast, resulting in his dishes having a more distinctive taste compared to conventional Cantonese cuisine.
Signature menu items include double-boiled chicken soup with Matsutake-mushrooms, stewed beef rib meat, sautéed prawns with garden greens and stewed garoupa fillets with ginger & spring onions - served during lunch and dinner between 16th and 21st November. Diners can also look forward to a celebratory gala dinner on 18th November. Priced from £85 per person for the gala dinner, a la carte menu prices vary.
