Festival of Wines at Shangri-La~!
Enjoying a new wine is an experience in itself but Shangri-La Singapore brought forth the experience a little more thanks to its second edition of the iconic Festival of Wines from 22 September to 1 October 2022.
Guests will get the opportunity to sample over 100 different wine and champagne labels from around the world, all curated by Shangri-La Group’s award-winning Head Sommelier Britt Ng. With his help, a series of indulgent wine dinners and lunches are still available at some of the hotel’s key restaurants with limited seats, including a collaboration with Dan Lee, winner of MasterChef: The Professionals 2021 for a special six-hands wine dinner at Origin Grill.
Known for creating unique dishes using a combination of Western and Southeast Asian flavours, Chef Dan Lee, winner of MasterChef: The Professionals 2021 joins forces with the Origin Grill team to present a five-course dinner menu paired with wines from the lesser-known regions of France. Chef Dan Lee is no stranger to Origin Grill, having been on the restaurant’s pre-opening team and is now returning to for a special Six-Hands collaboration with Chef de Cuisine Nathan Griffin.
Members of the media got to try a little of what Chef Dan Lee would be serving for his dinner event on Saturday, which will include dishes such as Smoked Beef Tartare, with Onion Ash Cracker and Lime that would go perfectly with the 2019 Mas de Daumas Gassac, Rosé Frizant, Languedoc, a sparking rosé with hints of strawberry and blackcurrent flavours. Accompanying Chef Dan Lee’s first course of Kinilaw made with Salmon, Lime Coconut Vinegar, Smoked Cucumber and Scallion Oil comes the 2019 Domaine Valentin Zusslin, Gewurztraminer, Bollenberg, Alsace, boasting flavours of spices and citrus fruits with a silky texture.
“This menu is inspired by my journey as a chef, taking elements I've learnt throughout my career, focusing heavily on my time in Singapore as well as my time on MasterChef: The Professionals,” said Chef Dan Lee.
The evening continues with Origin Grill Chef de Cuisine Nathan Griffin’s courses, with highlights including the Williams River Crossbred Wagyu 400 Days Grain-Fed MS 4+ that goes perfectly well with the full-bodied 2016 Cosse et Maisonneuve 'La Fage', Cahors, Southwest.
