Shangri-La Bengaluru Newsletter: August Edition

Claypot Stories from China’s Hearth Now simmering at Shang Palace Long before gas stoves or modern kitchens, Chinese families gathered around slow fires, their meals gently bubbling in humble clay vessels. Claypot cooking isn’t just a technique, it is history rooted in centuries-old village kitchens across Guangdong, Sichuan and beyond. The porous clay retains heat beautifully, letting ingredients cook gently and flavours deepen slowly. No rush, just patience and purpose. At Shang Palace, our new Claypot Menu by Chef Xu honours this tradition. The Seafood Claypot , with squid, fish and prawns, evokes the southern coast. Chicken with shallots and Chinese wine carries the comfort of Cantonese home kitchens. And for those who like boldness, the Lamb and Onion Claypot , spiced with cumin and king chilli, is full of depth. Vegetarians can explore flavour-rich combinations like mushroom and water chestnut, crispy beans, or mixed vegetables with lotus stem , each cooked till tender, fragrant and beautifully harmonised. It’s comfort food, elevated. A dish that arrives bubbling, to be shared and savoured.

Now available for lunch and dinner.
