Eight dishes in a special Taiwan Tea Cuisine menu will be featured from 8 to 28 June at Shang Palace, Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

The flavours of different varieties of Chinese tea will be in appetisers, main courses and a dessert. Tea can add an elegance, complexity and depth of flavour to a dish.
Shang Palace Chinese Executive Chef Tan Kim Weng has skilfully used teas like Jasmine, Long Jing, Oolong, Pu Er, Shui Hsuen, chrysanthemum and green tea as an infusion or for steaming, simmering, braising, poaching and smoking the different ingredients in the dishes.
