weLaine @ Chengdu :: Day 4 ( Shang Palace )

So fast, we reached the 4th day of our stay here in Chengdu, where we were heading to Xi An today!

The sweet sis arranged for a very very nice and yummy brunch for us before we board the plane, the dim sum buffet @ Shang Palace ( it was then that i knew all the Chinese restaurant in Shangri-la hotels worldwide is named Shang Palace ) !

I love the spread, yummilicious and heavenly. I can't remember all the names, it is too much! But i tell u we went back for 2nd time on the next Saturday, the day before we came back to Sg! Too many varieties on the menu, even twice visit is insufficient to taste them all!

The whole place is so orientally-decorated, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival when we were there, so they even setup a corner to display all the mooncakes in their beautiful packaging.

There are quite a few private dining rooms available, and i learned from the sis that the locals especially businessman must have their lunch/dinner in the private rooms, and some even have their own washroom!

Okok, enough said, time for the food to make their appearance!

There are a few to-die for items, including the Malay Kueh, which is a layer cake where it is made of sweet custard, egg yolk and little bit of shredded coconut, very tasty , we orderd twice! Next will be the chicken feet, big one, haha! I don't take that but all of the rest thinks that it is good.

Another must try item that has been emphasized by the sis is this, the durian pastry! It is so crunchy and delicate that, you must be very careful when you pick it up, it might just fall into half before you put in your mouth! But i tell u , it is heavenly, the sweetness of the durian with the combination of the well-doned pastry, heavenly! If i remembered correctly, we had 3 plates of this!

I love also the baked papaya pastry, especially the hot backed papaya in it, gave me a big surprise cause i always thought it should be cold! Very yummy!

The buffet left us so very fulled, and luckily the plane ride is 2 hrs plus away, if not it gonna be super bloated for us!

Very lovely brunch, and now i m starting to miss it! awww...
