Here Are Some Must-Visit Food Festivals Of July-August 2024
Chobster Promotion at Shang Palace, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi
Shangri-La Eros New Delhi invited patrons to an exclusive culinary experience at Shang Palace - The Clawsome Chobster Feast. Chobster is a unique concept that combines the flavours of chicken and lobster. Wondering how that tastes? We tried the menu at Shang Palace, and let us tell you, it was absolutely smashing. We started our meal with Spicy Chicken Salad with Green Apple Mint and Pine Nuts. The salad was so flavourful and refreshing that we wiped off the plate in minutes. From Hot Appetizers, Chongqing Lobster is a must-try. Fried lobster bits mixed with Sichuan peppers was a fiery delight that we loved. We tried Dim Sum - Kafir Lime Lobster dumpling with caviar, and also Lobster and chicken shou mai with xo. While both were good, we liked the former variety better. You can't miss the Fried trio organic wild rice (lobster chicken and egg) from the Main Course. The mildly flavoured rice dish is enough to satiate your tummy and heart.
