Sichuan Food Festival at Shangri-La Sydney

Overview

Sydney's spicy food lovers will be glad to know that a Sichuan Food Festival is coming to the Shangri-La Sydney for a full week from April 6 to 13. The five star hotel's restaurant, Cafe Mix, will offer a buffet style meal that focuses on the cuisine's signature green and red Sichuan peppers, which give a distinctive numbing sensation to the palate — a taste true spice fiends can't get enough of.

Joining the hotel's head chef Bo Sorensen are guest chefs Li Tok Fan and Yu Guang Peng of Shangri-La Chengdu, located in the Sichuan province capital. This means guests will be getting the real deal — authentic Sichuanese dishes like spicy dan dan noodles, steamed fish with fresh Sichuan peppercorn and simmered Mandarin fish in spicy chilli oil. The buffet will also include cold dishes like the vinegar-infused jellyfish head salad. To cool the palate, a designated dessert station will finish the meal off with sweet treats like glutinous rice dumplings stuffed with sesame paste.

The Sichuan Food Festival is presented in partnership with Xiamen Airlines and The Chinese Consulate of Sydney. The buffet lunch is available from noon to 2:30 pm at $55 per person, and the buffet dinner is available from 6pm to 10:30 pm at $85 per person. Click here to book now.
