SHANGHAI TANG HONG KONG LOCATION FOR NEW FLAGSHIP MANSION

Shanghai Tang,  the contemporary Chinese chic label new Shanghai Tang Mansion Flagship Store in Hong Kong will open in April 2012.

Last October, Shanghai Tang Loft operated on the 6th floor of Pedder Building in Central, Hong Kong. Then Shanghai Tang blew us away with the magnificent Shanghai Tang Mongolian Village complete with beautiful Mongolian Ger tents at Central Pier 4 for the festive season.

This Spring, Shanghai Tang continues its innovative concepts and rolled out a two-part teaser video campaign, "From Pedder to..." with exclusive preview for its Facebook fans, in celebration of the new Shanghai Tang Mansion flagship launch.

Twelve gorgeous ladies dressed in the latest Shanghai Tang signature green knot silk crepe dress from the Spring Summer 2012 collection departed from Pedder Building and strutted across the bustling streets of The Central, Hong Kong, with curious onlookers snapping pictures and creating a definitely buzz.

Viewers were prompted to guess the new flagship location and enter a prize draw if they have answered correctly, to win a gift from Shanghai Tang’s Imperial Table collection  of fine tableware and glassware with Dragon motif.

AZUR CROWNE PLAZA CHANGI AIRPORT – PERANAKAN BUFFET SPREAD BY CHEF KENNY CHAN BIBIK KIM NEO + PERANAKAN COLLECTIBLES SALE

Award-winning Azur at The Crowne Plaza Changi Airport presents a Peranakan Buffet offering of delicious and traditional true blue Peranakan dishes by Celebrity Chef Kenny Chan from Kenny’s Delight,  a seventh generation Baba from Malacca.

Tantalize your taste buds and indulge in the authentic  Peranakan favourites like Ayam Buah Keluak,Babi Pong Teh, Ikan Goreng Cili, Telur Cincalok, Nyonya Chap Chye  and desserts like Nyonya Cendol and Chef Kenny’s signature Sour Plum Drink from March 16 to March 25.

Savour Nyonya Otak, Nyonya Laksa, Sambal Timun, Sambal Jantung Pisang ,Nyonya Achar , Nyonya Kueh Pie Tee, Bakwan Kepiting, Itek Tim and Asparagus Goreng Cili Belachan with your favourite Peranakan food.  

Chef Chan will reprise his role as Bibik Kim Neo in the long-running TV1 Malaysian sitcom, “Baba Nyonya” and the movie, Nasi Lemak 2.0., to mingle with the patrons on March 17, alongside with Peranakan themed activities including sale of Peranakan Collectibles on March 24 and 25.

Distinctively Peranakan, here are some favourites from the media tasting.

Ayam Buah Keluak (stuffed Indonesian black nut with chicken) is one  of Chef Kenny’s signature dishes. A well-known Nyonya dish that is synonymous with Peranakan cuisine, the popular  dish requires expertise and is extremely time consuming to prepare.

The flesh of the Buah Keluak, an Indonesian black nut, is painstakingly extracted, fried with chicken, prawns and rempah (pounded spices), and simmered in a rich  gravy before it  is placed in the empty nut shells.

Babi Pong Teh (braised pork in salted bean paste) is another staple in Peranakan food. The pork belly is braised for hours in salted bean paste gravy with a hint of cinnamon. It is rich and flavoursome, so tender that it melts in your mouth.

Itek Tim is duck soup simmered with salted vegetables, pig's foreleg, preserved sour plums and tomatoes. Sweet and sour, lovely home cook goodness.

Balance the richness of Peranakan food with Nyonya Chap Chye, a light vegetable stew and a home favourite.

Udang Lemak Nenas (Prawns with pineapples in coconut curry) is rich and flavoursome. Another time consuming dish to prepare as fresh  coconut are used. Very lemak and sedap ! My favourite!

Ikan Goreng Cili (fried fish with sambal) is fried cod fish laced with Chef Chan’s special sambal chilli. The crunchy batter fish leaves you craving for more, the chili is to die for and a perfect condiment to add a fiery punch in every dish.

Telur Cincalok (fermented shrimp omelette) is loved by every Peranakan for the tangy taste with a hint of spice.

Nyonya Cendol - The cendol handmade by Chef Chan is soft and light green in colour unlike the acidic green commercial ones. I like mine with lots of Gula Melak ,  its very lemak and ultra sinful and oh so good !
