Shangri-La Group’s first standalone dining establishment outside of their hotels is a knockout in terms of both design and food. The multi-concept venue features 3 distinct areas that segue seamlessly to form a cohesive whole. Gracing the entrance is the BAR, serving Chinese tapas and Asian-inspired craft cocktails as well as chrysanthemum beer on tap. To either side are MRKT and DINING, Shang Social’s marketplace/casual eats area and formal dining space respectively. From the latter come these delectable sticky and sweet fried glutinous rice spheres that are ready to be stuffed with an absolutely moreish minced meat stir-fry.

Thanks to @blessincasia for the invite and @shangsocial for hosting!

Taste: 4/5
