TOWN93
“Best Pastry Chef of the Year” presents an all-new dinner menu and special Chef evenings at TOWN 93. Each and every dish is prepared by Chef Lionel and his team using the freshest ingredients, fine herbs, and most importantly, days of dedicated preparation time. The roasted whole yellow chicken alone takes the team 3 days to prepare before putting the chicken on the grill. The new menu demonstrates the art of French gastronomy for all foodies to try.

Shanghai Lao Lao
Shanghai Lao Lao has chosen four of its all-time best-selling dishes: Xiaolongbao, Noodles in spicy sesame & peanut soup, Braised Bean Curd & minced Meat, and Sautéed string beans with minced meat, to be recreated using Plant Sifu’s plant-based pork. This takes the menu to new heights by providing a delicious, wholesome alternative to meat. With this collaboration, they wanted to introduce a lighter alternative to Shanghainese cuisine without losing its nourishing satisfaction.
