Cognac char siu? Cheese spring rolls? Samuel Lee Sum uses Paris restaurant ‘to experiment'
After 10 years as head chef of Shang Palace, the fine-dining Chinese restaurant at the Shangri-La Paris hotel, Samuel Lee Sum felt it was time to open his own restaurant in the City of Lights. Advertisement Opened in mid-February, Sensation not only refers to the five senses, but also incorporates Lee's Chinese given name in Mandarin, sen, meaning forest. Having his name on the door motivates him to work hard to succeed, he says, adding that he likes a challenge. 'Sensation is a bistronomique (a casual fine-dining restaurant), a laid-back place where you can have food paired with wine,' Lee says. 'You don't need to wear a suit to come here and eat good Chinese food.' Sensation's Cantonese char siu marinated and basted in a cognac sauce. Photo: Sensation The menu features intriguing dishes such as Chaozhou (Chiu Chow) marinated oyster, spring rolls with Comte cheese, and char siu marinated in cognac. The 43-year-old chef says he uses traditional Chinese cooking techniques with ingredients the French are familiar with. Advertisement 'French diners know raw oysters, but they may not have tried the Chiu Chow marinated sauce with garlic, chillies, cilantro and sesame oil,' he says. 'When they eat it they can taste the sweetness [of the seafood].'

ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER INGREDIENTS IS MAKING BIG WAVES IN JEDDAH Silver Hill Duck, referred to globally as the 'Wagyu of duck' for its unparalleled flavour, tenderness and quality, has recently been made available in Jeddah. Following its successful entry into Riyadh, this expansion marks a key milestone in the brand's regional growth and underlines its commitment to the Kingdom's fast-evolving culinary scene. To celebrate the expansion into Jeddah, a special gathering was held at the widely-acclaimed Shang Palace restaurant at Shangri-La Jeddah, in the presence of distinguished guests as they were treated to delicious dishes prepared with Silver Hill Duck products. Shang Palace, considered as one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants, is among a number of restaurants and food institutions to use Silver Hill Duck gourmet products in its dishes in the Kingdom.

Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur: A 40-Year Legacy Of Luxury, Heritage & Hospitality
Since opening its doors in 1985, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur has stood as more than a luxury hotel – it is a living part of the city's soul. From hosting dignitaries and royalty, to serving generations of loyal guests at Shang Palace, the hotel has borne witness to Kuala Lumpur's transformation with an enduring sense of warmth and elegance. A Gallery Of Memories To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the hotel unveiled a stunning new permanent photo gallery wall titled 'Where Moments Become Memories.' More than a visual tribute, the gallery is a quietly moving chronicle – a walk through decades marked by elegance, evolution, and the countless human moments that define true hospitality. Lined with iconic snapshots from the past four decades, the gallery highlights everything from major renovations and milestone events to behind-the-scenes magic and the employees who've been part of the journey since day one. 'This photo gallery wall is a tribute to the memories made, the guests we've welcomed, and the many colleagues who've dedicated themselves to ensuring Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur's hospitality remains unparalleled,' shares General Manager Daniel Kaeflein. Legacy In The Details A collaboration between Malaysia's Jurubena Bertiga International and Japan's Kanko Kikaku Sekkeisha, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur opened in the mid-80s with 662 rooms, including 101 suites, nestled in the heart of the city's golden triangle. Over the decades, it has evolved from a stately hospitality hub into a symbol of timeless elegance – all while keeping its roots firmly planted in local culture. One such nod to heritage is the hotel's Guest Relations kebaya. Originally crafted from white silk with gold floral motifs, today's design features maroon and gold Songket with subtle touches of Sarawakian batik. The evolution of the kebaya reflects not only Malaysia's rich cultural tapestry but also Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur's enduring respect for craftsmanship and heritage. In step with UNESCO's recent recognitions of Songket and Kebaya, the hotel's attire honours tradition while embracing timeless sophistication. People At The Heart Luxury may define the brand, but it's the people who bring it to life. Among the hotel's gems are team members who've been with Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur since its inception. That kind of dedication isn't just commendable – it's rare. This culture of care extends beyond guests. The hotel's long-running CSR initiative, Embrace the Gift of Life, has raised over RM5 million since 1985, funding vital medical support for underprivileged children. With expansion plans on the horizon, its mission continues to grow. Dining Through The Decades No mention of Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is complete without spotlighting its culinary cornerstone: Shang Palace. Serving refined Cantonese cuisine since April 1985, it has earned a reputation as one of Kuala Lumpur's most respected Chinese restaurants. With a menu that artfully balances culinary tradition and refined innovation, Shang Palace continues to honour Cantonese cuisine at its finest. From delicate hand-folded dim sum to masterfully prepared wok-fired classics, every dish tells a story of technique, legacy, and impeccable taste. Another dining highlight is Lemon Garden, known for its popular buffet featuring both international and local dishes. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the restaurant is offering RM40 off lunch and dinner buffets until 30th June 2025. Accolades & The Road Ahead In recent years, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur has collected an impressive number of accolades – from Best Business Hotel in Kuala Lumpur (Business Traveller Asia-Pacific) to Best Luxury Family Hotel (Luxury Lifestyle Awards). In 2024, it was crowned #1 Hotel in Southeast Asia by Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice Awards. Yet amidst the accolades, the hotel remains forward-looking. Guided by a commitment to relevance and excellence, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is embracing the future – integrating cutting-edge technology, sustainable design, and wellness-focused experiences, all while preserving the gracious spirit it has long been known for. Recognising that tomorrow's luxury lies in relevance and purpose, the hotel is also mentoring a new generation of hospitality leaders. A Reflection Of Kuala Lumpur's Soul As Director of Marketing & Communications, Shirley Hoo puts it, 'The 40th Anniversary is not just a milestone for us but a reflection of how deeply Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur has become part of the fabric of Kuala Lumpur. We've grown with the city, creating timeless experiences for all who walk through our doors.' From opulent weddings to high-level diplomatic gatherings, Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur has quietly accompanied the city through moments both grand and intimate. As it looks ahead, one thing remains constant – a dedication to luxury that feels personal, meaningful, and enduring. Here's to another 40 years of timeless luxury and hospitality.
