Disney tailors menu for Shanghai tastes

THE Shanghai Disney Resort, Disney’s first theme park in the Chinese mainland, yesterday released a special Shanghai cuisine menu for visitors.

The resort, which is expected to open to the public on June 16, will comprise two themed hotels and six different “lands” with 600 to 1,000 canteens and restaurants providing food and drinks for tourists.

The food offered at the resort will include special Shanghai cuisine incorporating elements of Disney, said Paul Chandler, director of the resort’s food and beverage department.

The menu includes a Mickey Chocolate Tart, Mickey Pork Cake, Donald Duck Waffle and Braised Pork Knuckle in Dark Soy sauce, he said.

“Shanghai Disney Resort will respect the Chinese traditional diet,” Chandler said. In addition to Shanghai cuisine, the menu will include other regional Chinese cuisines such as Sichuan, Shandong, Cantonese and Hunan.

Food will be served on plates displaying Disney cartoon images or made in the shape of famous Disney cartoon characters such as Mickey and Minnie, according to Chandler.

Benny Dong, executive chef at the resort, said that they have had some productive exchanges with chefs from different parts of China and invited some excellent chefs to join them.

The food provided at the new resort will combine both Western and Chinese regional elements and will be of an extremely high quality, Dong added.

The Shanghai Disney Resort is Disney’s sixth resort worldwide.
