Located atop the Swatch Art Peace Hotel at Bund 19, Shook! Restaurant and Rooftop Terrace is jumping into spring with its brand new Mimosa Brunch launching every Saturday and Sunday from 11:30am – 3pm from March 2nd onwards. Champagne and orange juice Mimosas are the order of the day to ease guests through the weekend with this classic drink and other selected cocktails including Bloody Marys and classic Bellinis available at 2 for 1 prices.

The bustling new brunch menu at RMB 98 for two courses offers diners the option of choosing from the menu of classic brunch and lunch items and an option of adding on a dessert selection for only RMB 38 more.

Chef Matthew Ona has created a brunch menu that has something for everyone. Appetizers begin lightly with a Spicy Lemongrass Broth with poached shrimp and hints of cilantro; a Heirloom Cherry Tomato Salad with white soy sesame vinaigrette; and the classic Salmon Tartar featuring crushed fresh avocado and a Ginger Miso Rose sauce.

Next up, are a selection of classic brunch items, think Tasting of Eggs, a platter of eggs done every way: Poached and wrapped in prosciutto with a creamy Hollandaise sauce; Soft-boiled with salmon caviar; Classic sunny side up quail eggs with a healthy portion of smoked salmon or the Brioche French Toast made with vanilla bean & brown sugar served with summer fruit and specially imported American maple syrup.

The star of the Shook! brunch show is Chef Matthew’s Midwest-American recipe for Wild Berry Pancakes. It starts with a generous portion of homemade fluffy pancakes with not-so-subtle hints of cinnamon and real vanilla, topped off with a tart Mixed Berry Compote balanced with an equally sweet Chantilly Cream.

For guests looking to get their afternoon fill, for an additional RMB 88 the juicy Slow Braised Australian Beef in a Cabernet glaze served with mashed potatoes and a healthy spinach side are set to become instant favorites.

These days it’s not a proper brunch without a wake up mimosa or cocktail and Shook! has the perfect concoctions to accompany brunch. With just the right blend of tomato and spice the savory Shook! Bloody Mary offers a weekend revitalize while the classic Bellini sparkles in a tall chilled flute of peachy goodness.

About Shook! Restaurant & Rooftop Terrace
Opened in 2011, Shook! Restaurant and Rooftop Terrace is the second Shook! outlet by Malaysian YTL Hotels, after Shook! at YTL’s Starhill Gallery in Kuala Lumpur. It occupies the fifth and sixth floors of Swatch Art Peace Hotel, a Renaissance-style 1906 heritage landmark on the Bund.

Helmed by Executive Chef Matthew Ona, Shook! Restaurant is an open culinary theater that takes contemporary Western dishes and adds a twist of Japan, China and South East Asia. Signature dishes include Dancing White Prawns (stir-fried prawns with hot mayonnaise sprinkled with honey-glazed walnuts) and Classic Salmon Tartar served with crushed cilantro avocados and an oven roasted tomato ginger miso rose sauce.

Along with the mod-Chinoisserie main dining area, there is also the chic Time Bar and The Gallery, a multimedia banquet hall ideal for private receptions for up to 250 people. On the sixth floor, Shook! Rooftop Terrace offers alfresco lounging and stunning views of the Huangpu River and Pudong. The hotel’s two defining domed towers, the Corner Tower and Blancpain Room, are ideal for intimate candlelight dinners and private events. Also on the sixth floor, the Chiang-Soong Room is one of the city’s most historic exclusive meeting rooms. The room, now restored to its original elegance, is the very same venue where the First International Opium Conference was held in 1909. It is also where Chiang Kai-Shek and Soong Mei Ling celebrated their engagement in 1927.
