On the 36th floor of the Shangri-La hotel in Shanghai they have managed to create a restaurant that means business, both in terms of those looking to impress their guests (a view across the financial centre Pudong or back to the West and the Bund) and those who come looking for serious food. Chef Paul Pairet’s Euro-Chinese cuisine consists just of tasting selections, four in total but with each of the four available in four-, six- or eight-course versions. Pairet uses lots of foams and all those agents and chemical tricks beloved of the new school of kitchen wizadry. But his menus are also simple, and show off one idea per dish. Giant prawns steamed for 45 minutes in a kilner jar (which it is also served in) with lemongrass and orange juice; a beef rib cut right back so three inches of the meat remained in the middle of a totally clean bone and then roasted and served with a eggy pureed potato are just a few of the items you may be served, at once classic Chinese and yet achingly western contemporary…much like the venue itself which is decked out in a thoroughly modern veneer using traditional oriental artefacts. A feast for the eyes as well as the nose and palette.
