PELHAM’S

The Waldorf Astoria has appointed Philippe Louis Egalon as the new Executive Chef. And one of the first things Chef Philippe has done is revamp the menu of Pelhams with bold and vibrant dishes.

 Wagyu Beef and Rice, RMB280 +15% service charge

Using flank steak from Australia, topped with fresh sea urchin over Japanese imported rice, the flavors are rich and almost melts in your mouth. Chef Philippe used to work in Japan, so the flavors create the perfect fusion dish.

Grouper Sweet and Sour, RMB180 +15% service charge

Selected from fresh Dalian grouper (around 500g-600g), the fish-meat tastes refreshing and delicate, pairing with the preferred Australian nuts on the top. With an almost caramel after taste, the complexity of the sweet and crunchy of the nuts provide the perfect texture for the fish.

Weiss ChocolateCaramel Tart. RMB128 +15% service charge

For all the chocolate lovers, the decadent dessert is full of rich chocolatey flavors. The sorbet is made from pure chocolate, pairing with chocolate slice, chocolate biscuits and caramel chips.
