Visited blindly without knowing they had an ongoing Dim Sum Lunch all you can eat deal (98 AED per person) so felt super fortunate to have decided to come to Shangri-La for lunch.
Tip: if you pay 250 AED to go up to the 42nd floor for amazing views of Burj Khalifa and Dubai, you can redeem the 250 in credit at most of their restaurants, or at the pool, if I’m not mistaken. Definitely worth it!
Anyway, their CHA SIU SOU (baked sweet and salty chicken puff), DEEP FRIED CHICKEN BREAST, XIAO LONG BAO (soup-filled chicken dumplings), TRUFFLE VEGETABLE SPRING ROLLS, HAR GAO (crystal dumpling with prawn), and CRISPY RADISH WITH DRIED PRAWN tastes extraordinary and authentic. I grew up eating Yum Cha every weekend with all my aunties and uncles, so take my word for it.
My partner-in-crime ordered the TOFU HOT AND SOUR SOUP and loved it. So if that’s your jam, give it a try👍🏼
Service was impeccable. Ambience was quiet and peaceful, perfect while dining out with our 13-month-old daughter.
Michelin guide award well deserved 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We will be back.
