Hot pots are being featured in a special menu at Shang Palace, Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, from 6 October to 26 October. The soups are simmered for hours in a claypot for all the ingredients such as chicken, fresh seafood and herbs to release their sweet and delicious flavours into them.

Shang Palace Chinese Executive Chef Tan Kim Weng is presenting five hot pots – Black chicken hot pot with Chinese herbs, Fresh fish hot pot with Tientsin cabbage and fresh beancurd skin, Chicken soup hot pot with pepper and ginkgo nuts, Pumpkin hot pot with assorted seafood and Fresh water king prawn hot pot with spicy lemon grass soup.
