Chefs Simon Havage and Timothy Lam elevate the season with festive menus that blend French elegance and Asian warmth, while at Shang Palace , Chef Tony Xu’s holiday dishes bring refined Chinese artistry to the table. The sweetest magic comes from Pastry Chef Timothy Lam, in his Vanilla Flower Yule Log.
