Shang Palace

On mum's birthday on 21 August 2011, I brought her to Shang Place at Shangri-La Hotel. She is always excited to know where I am bringing her for her birthdays each year, as I make a point to visit a different new place. For this year, Shangri-La had a 50% promotion offer if one makes a reservation via facebook on the person's actual birthday. This was my first time to Shang Palace.

The menu

Decked in a bright red, Shang Palace really looks like a place of festive environment.

We ordered the Fu Ding Shou Mei Menu priced at $58++ per person

Four deluxe appetiser delights - shredded chicken, duck and meat

Shanghai braised shredded bean curd soup, assorted seafood

Drink when hot

Braised abalone, assorted seafood

Deep fried sea perch, crab roe

I love this dish. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Braised King's mushroom, dried scallop, spinach beancurd

Stewed ee fu noodle, egg white, crab meat

We weren't expecting ee fu noodle in this form. The egg white made it too soft for my liking. I must admit it was a little difficult eating this bowl of noodles.

Breaded Chicken Salad at Swensen

After lunch, we took a walk down to orchard road where we shopped a little where we headed down to Suntec. There I took mum for Swensen. Did you know if your birthday fall on the actual day, one gets a free firehouse.

Happy Birthday Mum

After the candle has been blown

I had a delightful Sunday afternoon with my mum. From mum's expression, she enjoyed herself. Now she knows her daughter really loves to explore to food and she sometimes asks me when is our next food outing. Isn't it great I spread my food adventures to my mum.

Santa if you are listening, can someone please plan a suprise birthday for me next year - to a place where I have not been before - that will be a nice birthday present for me for 2012. Can I just sit back and relax and enjoy. Any takers?
