Shangri-La Hotel Delights Guests with New Pairing Dinner

JAKARTA

The Shangri- La Hotel invites guests to experience a Champagne and Chinese dish pairing dinner at the hotel’s newly opened Chinese restaurant

Jia. Chef Christopher Chai will be responsible for the Chinese dishes, while Nicolas Feuilatte will take care of the Champagne selections. The pairing dinner will be held on April 21.

The idea of pairing champagne with Chinese food is to find the right proportions to balance the richness of Chinese dishes. For this reason, the hotel’s sommelier team has been to a number of food tastings in preparation for the pairing dinner.

Jia will serve roasted duck with fruit salad, complemented by crispy roasted duck spring rolls in spicy sauce for starters. This will be paired with NV Nicolas Feuillate reserve brut, Champagne, France, followed by braised four treasure soup with roasted shredded duck.

For the main course, guests will be served with signature Peking duck with crispy skin, served in Chinese pancakes and paired with NV Nicholas Feuillatte Brut Rose, Champagne, France. For the heavier dish, there will be braised e-fu noodles and wild mushrooms with shredded roasted duck and black truffles. This will be paired with Nicholas Feuillatte Cuvee Palmes d’Or Vrut Millesime, Champagne, France, 2004.
