I FAINTED AND HAD TO BE HOSPITALISED FOR 3 DAYS IN INTENSIVE CARE WHEN I HEARD SHANG PALACE, POSSIBLY MALAYSIA'S BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT, HAS GONE PORK FREE!
WHY, I WONDER? MAYBE SHANGRI-LA SHOULD STOP SERVING ALCOHOL TOO AND ASK ALL STAFF WEAR TUDUNG AND HAVE WOMEN'S FLOOR AND SEPARATE MEN'S FLOOR. I NOTICE SOME OF THE UNIFORMS ARE RATHER SEXY.
ALSO, PORK-FREE IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH HALAL AS SHANG PALACE WILL HAVE TO PROVE THEIR CHICKEN, BEEF, LAMB AND VENISON ARE HALAL. ALSO THE COOKING UTENSILS LIKE POTS, PANS AND SERVING LADELS MUST BE BRAND NEW WITH RECEIPTS PROVING THEY HAVE BEEN NEWLY PURCHASED. AFTER ALL, FOR YEARS THESE POTS AND PANS HAVE BEEN USED TO COOK PIG MEAT USING LARD WHICH I LOVE AND THOUGH THEY ARE WASHED DAILY, MUSLIMS WILL REFUSE TO EAT FROM SUCH UTENSILS.
ALSO THE CHEFS AT SHANG PALACE ARE NOT 100% MUSLIMS AND THEY ARE ALLOWED TO EAT PIG MEAT AT HOME. IMAGINE FINGERS THAT CUT PIG MEAT AND ATE PORK ARE USED TO CUT MEAT AND VEGETABLES FOR MUSLIMS! THOUGH THEIR FINGERS AND HANDS ARE WASHED CLEAN, MUSLIMS WILL NOT ENJOY THE THOUGHT OF PORK-LOVING FINGERS HANDLING AND PREPARING THEIR FOOD. SO SHANG PALACE MUST HAVE MUSLIM CHEFS AND STAFF.
I ASKED MY MUSLIM FRIENDS AND THEY ALL AGREE WITH ME. THEY POINT OUT SHANGRI-LA HAS MANY EXCELLENT, HALAL RESTAURANTS LIKE LAFITE, LEMON GARDEN, ZIPANGU ETC SO THEY ARE NOT HARD UP TO DINE AT SHANG PALACE.
SO BY TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE, SHANG PALACE HAS ENDED UP PLEASING NO ONE! CHINESE DINERS ARE PISSED OFF THERE IS NOW NO CHAR SIEW OR SIEW YOK WHILE MUSLIMS WOULD RATHER NOT PATRONISE A FAMOUS RESTAURANT LONG KNOWN FOR PIG MEAT DISHES.
THERE ARE MANY OTHER GREAT CHINKY RESTAURANTS IN KL SERVING PORK AS NOW THERE IS NO PORK AT SHANG PALACE. ALSO PORK FREE DIMSUM IS SACRILEGIOUS AND MY ANCESTORS ARE TURNING IN THEIR GRAVE IN CHINA.

LAUNCH OF A NEW DELECTABLE MENU AT
SHANG PALACE,
SHANGRI-LA HOTEL, KUALA LUMPUR
In
line with our other dining operations, Shang Palace at the Shangri-La Hotel,
Kuala Lumpur, will launch a pork-free menu from 25 September 2014.
Deliciousness rules, as Chinese
Executive Chef Tan Kim Weng puts his masterful and creative touch to the new
dishes on the menu.
The finest pork-free Cantonese
dimsum, soups, appetisers, main dishes as well as the chef’s signature dishes
will make their debut on this new menu.
Shang Palace will continue to
showcase authentic Cantonese cuisine and provincial specialities at their best,
using premium local and imported ingredients from sustainable and organic
sources.
The chef’s signature dishes include
the Slow Braised Beef Short Rib with Garlic and Chinese Herb Sauce, Deep-fried
Scallop Stuffed with Seafood Paste coated with filo pastry shreds and
mayonnaise, Pan-fried Foie Gras with Vinegar Sauce and Stuffed Scallop with
Spicy Bean Sauce, and Braised Abalone with Sun-dried Scallop stuffed in Wintermelon.
The chef also offers the Combination
Cantonese Dimsum Platter – with shrimp dumpling, chicken dumpling with scallop,
crispy shrimp roll and spring roll.
There is also a comprehensive
pork-free dimsum menu, with more than 50 items in it. This should make a pleasing
yum-cha lunch for everyone.
The new Shang Palace Barbecue
Combination Platter serves up roasted crispy duck, barbecued chicken roll with
glazed honey and braised farm chicken with supreme soya sauce.
A pork-free Fried Hokkien Noodles
with prawns and chicken should delight diners, as well as Wok-fried Crispy
Noodles with Freshwater King Prawn.
Special set menus with six to nine
courses, with some designed for two or more people, and others for a table of
10, are also available at Shang Palace. There is also a vegetarian menu.
