Shangri-La Shangri-La Jiangnanzao in Shanghai: A Delicious Experience
Not long ago, I had the pleasure of experiencing a meal at Shangri-La Shangri-La Jiangnanzao in the heart of Shanghai. The meal, featuring mostly Huaiyang cuisine, offered a delightful range of flavors. The Yangzhou dried silk retained a pleasant bean fragrance, and when paired with the special sauce, it became even more refreshing. The Inkjet scallop combined with a crispy outer shell and squid ink tofu soup created a layered flavor profile. The Cantonese-style honey-glazed char siu and rose soy sauce chicken were modified on traditional bases, offering unique flavors. This meal allowed me to once again experience the attention to detail and quality of Shangri-La’s dining, and it also brought my attention to a special promotional event from Shangri-La—The “Good Gifts, Fragrant Rewards Ranking.”
