The Lost Food Project currently rescues an average of 10 tonnes of food per week from going into landfill and redistributes the food to those in need, including 33,000 residents living in low cost flats and other charities. Every cover sold at participating Shangri-La Malaysia restaurants will help The Lost Food Project feed an additional 20 people.

This dish is perfect combination of fresh Tiger Prawns and savoury yet sweetness of the butter sauce.

Marinated overnight with aromatic spices, Chef Yusof’s special marinade is continuously basted over the lamb to ensure every bite tantalises the taste buds.
Chef Roy’s Roti Canai and Murtabak
A true local favourite and definitely a staple for some, Chef Roy’s first dish was the popular toasted flatbread – Roti Canai. His variation features an unconventional shot of Sprite in the dough to provide that enjoyable golden-brown crispiness. A local favourite and found at various open stalls, Roti Canai is often coupled with various curries or Dhal, whereas Murtabak is the same Roti Canai dough, except stuffed with savoury mix of eggs, meat, onions and spices.

A Malay version of Lamb Shank soup, Chef Fakrul learnt to cook this rich and hearty soup from his mother. Boiled over low heat with cinnamon, star anise, and other Malay herbs, he includes a secret ingredient to elevate the flavour, as taught by his mother. The meat is then slow-cooked to ensure a tender, fall-off-the-bone texture that melts in your mouth as you savour this delicacy.
Uncle Chan’s Ice Cream Potong
Ice Cream Potong is one of Chef Chan’s favourite dessert, according to him, he and his mother enjoy dessert very much. He still remember when he was younger, they will visit the night market during the weekends and they will have Ice Cream Potong together. In the olden days, Ice Cream Potong came in large blocks and was cut into small shapes and served in a slice of bread. Chef Chan’s favourite is red bean whilst his mother loves sweet corn.
Aunty Sze Wei’s Homemade Tau Foo Fah
A soft tofu that is submerged into a sweet syrup, this local favourite dessert resonates with many Malaysian childhoods, including Chef Sze Wei who used to help her grandmother to sell her popular Tau Foo Fah at the market. Tender, silky and smooth, Chef Sze Wei adds ginger syrup to enhance the taste of the ordinary palm sugar, making it the perfect treat to cool of your body during the hot weather.
Rojak Buah Pak Amin
Rojak, which means mixture, is commonly a teatime dish that mixes different fruits with a tangy, peanut sauce.
