Ming Pavilion is the latest addition to Island Shangri-la, serving Hokkien cuisine. As I walked in, I was mesmerised by how exquisitely and tastefully it is designed by Spanish interior designer LRV, reminding me of the much coveted private club A in London. So even if you are not into Hokkien cuisine, it is still a beautiful space to be in for a quiet afternoon. You may perhaps consider enjoying their curated selection of Chinese teas including lapsang souchong from southern Fujian or Fuzhou jasmine dragon pearl brought to you by their skilful Tea Mixologist, who has attained the honorary title of "Chinese Tea Culture Promotion Ambassador" in the MingXing Tea Specialists Competition in the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Division in 2021.
Service was attentive. Originally I intended to ordered more for our party of 4 for lunch, but the server stopped me after I ordered the Xiamen-Style "Popiah" （薄餅) and Steamed Mud Crab with Glutinous Rice. And he was right, the two carbohydrate packed dishes had us filled to the brim. Whilst personally I found the popiah a tad underwhelming, the steamed mud crab with glutinous rice was an absolute delight. The crab was sweet and the glutinous rice with crab butter mixed in it was sublime. Worthy of a revisit just to have the mud crab and glutinous rice again!
