favourite dishes, live music entertainment and

seating for 195 people, including an outdoor

patio. Beer connoisseurs or novices may enjoy

lunch at The BREW or unwind after a hard

day’s work, listening to live music

entertainment, watching sports television broadcasts, or simply relax on the patio,

8

taking in views of Century Park. Six handcrafted beers and one cider represent the tip

of a vast selection of beverages on offer.

Dugite Vanilla Stout:

With 5% alcohol content, the seductive black nature of the dugite is expressed in this

delicately brewed venom. A lengthened aging process adds to the liquid’s allure.

Imported Belgian biscuit malts blended with vanilla pods deliver a smooth, full

bodied, creamy vanilla flavor to delight the senses.

White Ant:

Gold Medal Winner, WIT (Belgian Wheat)

Category, 2012 Beerfest Asia Also known as “The Queen Brew” and with

4.5% alcohol, this beer’s name reflects the avant-

garde persona it possesses, while also pertaining

to the mysterious white hue the brew refracts

when served in the presence of light. Concocted

with the finest wheat and barley and spiced with

coriander and mandarin, the aroma of the spice mixture is implicitly present. The

Queen is usually served in a tall glass, so drinkers can marvel at her splendour and

gaze lovingly at her pale hue.

Indian Pale Ale:

Bronze Medal Winner, Indian Pale Ale Category, 2012 Beerfest Asia

A classic Pale Ale characterised by intense hop bitterness and moderate alcohol

content (5.2%), typical of a big English Ale, cementing itself as an anchor brew. The

deep seductive shade of bronze is sourced from the flowery hop aromas of ripe stone

fruit.

Pils:

Gold Medal Winner, Pilsner Category, 2012 Beerfest Asia

Silver Medal Winner, New Zealand International Brewers Award 2012

Brewed with precision and golden straw in colour with a grassy noble hop aroma

combining with a toasted malt character, Pils is very well attenuated. With moderate

alcohol volume (4.9%), it finishes long and dry with a little detectable sweetness.

Skinny Green:

Bronze Medal Winner, Lager Category, 2012 Beerfest Asia

Skinny Green is characterised by extremely high degree of attenuation and dryness,

resulting in a slightly higher level of alcohol (4.5%) but with 75% less sugar

compared to regular beers. It is light amber in colour, light in body and high in

carbonation. Low carb beers have a tendency to be watery in consistency and lacking

in flavour; Skinny Green is curvy in all the right places.

Razorback Cider:

Silver Medal Winner, Cider Category, 2012 Beerfest Asia

9

With 4.5% alcohol, this cider’s artisan appeal is strengthened due to the partnering

with a local organic wheat farmer. Razorback is a true blend of community-farmed

produce crafted to create a truly delicious brew style. Locally sourced peaches are

roasted to caramelize; apples are crushed for its sweet juice. Described by the brew

master as “boutique at its best”.

Mash (seasonal beer):

The BREW celebrates each brewing season by hand-crafting and naming a new beer

using seasonal ingredients; available for a limited period only.

Evoking industrial chic, The BREW’s interiors

revolve around the “flying brewery,” custom designed

and built three-storey stainless steel vats used for

brewing and storing its signature brews. Forming a

dramatic visual centrepiece and framing the brewery’s

steel vats in the background is an eye-catching, multi-

tiered steel and glass chandelier over the centre of the

bar that conveniently doubles as a beer pint glass rack.

The BREW is open daily from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m.

The MEAT

The MEAT, a contemporary steakhouse and

specialty grill with seating for 112 people, including

The Master’s Table, a private dining room

accommodating 14, was born from the very idea

that a steakhouse should revolve around the meat

served. Solidly backing up this idea is the

restaurant’s menu, with the largest selection of fine

steak and beef available in Shanghai displayed in a

dedicated meat “Ageing Room”, presided over by the restaurant’s house butcher.

Natural flavours abide at The MEAT. Simple presentation

and preparation of quality Australian Angus beef sourced

direct from farm to table define The MEAT’s dining

experience. A must-try is the “Ningaloo Tomahawk”, a 1.8

kilogram hunk of prime rib good for four persons, brought

table-side and expertly carved, its juicy chunks served right in

front of diners by the chef. Along with an extensive selection

of New and Old World wines, The MEAT also offers a wide

variety premium grilled items: fresh seafood, organic poultry

and vegetables, pork and lamb, accompanied by signature

side dishes and sauces, as well as “gourmet comfort food”.

10

Let’s just say, macaroni and cheese will never be the same again.

Diners at The MEAT are greeted by the

theatrically lit “Ageing Room” window

dominating the restaurant entrance. Whilst

waiting for their dinner companions, guests may

relax with a drink on pony hair and leather

armchairs near a fireplace flanked by hand-

carved wooden bullhorns. A scarlet-hued

vertebrae-inspired light fixture stretches down

the expanse of the restaurant and makes a

dramatic visual centrepiece to the restaurant and

counterpoint to the gleaming tops of The BREW’s glass-encased brewery vats below.

The MEAT is open nightly from 5:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.

The BLOCK

The BLOCK – Butcher Shop at Kerry Hotel is adjacent to The MEAT, with direct

access from the Kerry Parkside shopping mall. The butcher shop is not only an

extension of The MEAT, which has established a reputation for its meat in the past

two years, but it now offers the local community the hotel’s meat and seafood quality

to take home. The mission of The BLOCK is to uphold the high quality food standard

at a reasonable price and it will offer a selection of beef, pork, lamb and fresh seafood.

The BLOCK operates seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Blossoms

Comprising of a collection of four elegantly

designed private dining rooms, Blossoms is

positioned to offer a Chinese fine dining

experience, ideal for business entertaining or for

exclusive celebrations. Private dining room

butlers deliver unobtrusive, efficient and gracious

service whilst authentic Cantonese cuisine is

prepared by a Hong Kong chef.

Guests may select from a range of set menus for convenience or, if they wish,

bespoke menus can be tailored according to their requirements, along with

recommendations from the Hong Kong chef de cuisine. Wine pairings, with

recommendations from the hotel’s resident sommelier, are available as an option. Old

and New World wines selected by the sommelier are available, along with a range of

cognacs, brandy and whiskies. Blossoms also offers premium baijiu (traditional

Chinese grain spirits) and yellow rice wines.

11

Designed by Bali-based hospitality interior

specialists ARA Design, the interior of Blossoms’

four private dining rooms take its inspiration from

four flowers, namely, Plum Blossom, Orchid,

Chrysanthemum and Bamboo, also referred to in

ancient Chinese tradition as the “Four Gentlemen.”

It was believed that these flowers possessed

qualities similar to those found in men with

virtuous reputations.

A wall of gold-dipped ceramic tiles welcome guests to the main entrance corridor of

Blossoms, leading to the four dining rooms. All dining rooms are equipped with

private sitting areas; two come with its own private washrooms and lavatories. Hand-

painted wall panellings, furnishing fabrics and carpets evoke the floral freshness of

spring: pale shades of mauves and plums, delicate yellows, pinks and greens. Crystal

chandeliers add a regal touch to various Chinese objets d’art and paintings in the

rooms.

The Plum Blossom and Orchid Rooms measure 61 and 65

square metres (656 and 699 square feet), respectively, and can

each comfortably accommodate 60 people for dining; the rooms

can also be interconnected for larger parties. At 45 square metres

(484 square feet), the Chrysanthemum sits 20 while the Bamboo

Room, with an area of 75 square metres (807 square feet), can

accommodate 60 people. Overall, Blossoms can accommodate

up to 200 people. Audio-visual equipment can be arranged in

any of the rooms, should guests require.

Blossoms is open daily for lunch and dinner by prior reservation only.

The COOK Lounge

By day, The COOK Lounge is a cozy, elegant sanctuary seating up to 91 people, ideal

for lingering over a refreshing cup of premium Chinese tea or stimulating specialty

coffees, as well as for indulging in pastries and Afternoon Tea sets. In the evenings,

The COOK Lounge transforms into a more

sophisticated venue, accented by sensual music

and a bar menu of spice and fruit-infused

cocktails and samplers from The COOK's

Cheese Vault & Wine Cellar.

Pastries from Executive Pastry Chef Francois

Petri and his team complement the range of

premium Chinese and international teas and

freshly roasted specialty coffees on offer at The COOK Lounge. In addition, a

selection of mix and match “small plates” from The COOK’s kitchens as well as

12

samplers from the Cheese Vault are available, making an ideal pairing with wine or

with any of The COOK Lounge’s specialty cocktails.

Bali-based ARA Design were inspired by the fluid shape of the ellipse for The COOK

Lounge’s interiors, with slatted timbers allowing guests to peek into The COOK and

vice versa. The ellipse also provides the illusion of a “cocooned” space within the

lounge, softening the visual path from the Hotel Lobby through to The COOK.

Forming another ellipse is the beverage bar straddling both The COOK Lounge and

The COOK, with each elliptical half serving each outlet. Within the lounge, Chinese-

accented art and Ming Dynasty-inspired furnishings in soft, pastel shades combine in

a contemporized interpretation of a Chinese tea house.

The COOK Lounge is open daily from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 a.m.

meeting and banqueting facilities in the city, with more than 7,300 square metres

(78,576 square feet) of space spanning a total of 26 multi-purpose function rooms and

two ballrooms. Refreshing outdoor alternatives include the 195-square metre (2,098

square feet) Balcony Garden on level three, overlooking the vibrant courtyard of the

more than 300,000 square metres (3,229,173 square feet) of space adjacent to the Kerry

Parkside complex and directly connected to the hotel via a covered walkway and

footbridge, the hotel’s facilities are designed to capitalise on the proximity.

From complicated global conventions to high-

powered boardroom meetings and grand

celebrations, the hotel’s Events Management

team collaborates closely with experienced

culinary professionals and a well-trained

banquet services team to ensure no detail is

spared in executing successful events for

guests. Meetings and event organisers benefit

atmosphere. Conceptualised by Bali-based ARA

Design, focal points of its décor include a myriad of

chandeliers in various shapes and designs, translucent

flower petal-shaped chandeliers greeting guests

ascending on the Level 3 escalators to abstract 18-metre

(59 feet) long depictions of “ghost dragon” chandeliers

adorning the foyer area of the Grand Shanghai

Ballroom. Most striking are chandeliers resembling

dynamic clusters of swimming goldfish in the Grand

Shanghai Ballroom.

17

Whilst subtle hints of luxurious Asian influences

are everywhere, from various Chinese objets d’art

and furniture accent pieces, a sense of ease and

comfort prevails. Wall panellings flow, from

“Bedazzle”, a custom-designed paneling comprised

of hand-picked glass beads distressed with silver

leaf accents, to the two Ballrooms’ leather-

embossed wooden doors, and natural matte elm

burl timber paneling adjoining with light-hued

marble on the walls and ceilings.

Grand Shanghai Ballroom and Pudong Ballroom

Dominating the hotel’s third floor are two

ballrooms, the Grand Shanghai Ballroom and the

Pudong Ballroom, which can be interconnected.

Inspired by the Chinese philosophical belief in

the duality of human nature, the “yin and yang”,

the Grand Shanghai Ballroom and Pudong

Ballroom are designed to allow a harmonious

flow of events through the space, with each

venue retaining its own distinctive ambience.

Nine chandeliers created out of nearly 6,000 individual pieces of imported Czech

“Lasfite” hand-blown crystal, depicting clusters of darting and swimming goldfish,

light up the expanse of the Grand Shanghai Ballroom, offering a subtle feminine

touch. The Pudong Ballroom’s glass rods, a total of 3,000 pieces individually hand-

blown, convey a more sturdy elegance and have a light masculine appeal.

The Grand Shanghai Ballroom, at 2,230 square metres (24,003 square feet) and a

ceiling soaring up to 9 metres (29 feet), is the city’s largest hotel-based pillar-free

ballroom, with a pre-function foyer area offering natural daylight. The Ballroom is

pillar-free can accommodate more than 2,800 people theatre style and 1,600 guests

for banquets.

For flexibility, the Grand Shanghai Ballroom can be divisible into three sections. The

Ballroom is equipped with built-in LCD (liquid crystal display) projectors and a total of

five motorised wide screens. A heavy-duty lift, with a height of 2.4 metres (7.8 feet),

width of 2.5 metres (8.2 feet), depth of 5.5 metres (18 feet) and a maximum capacity

of 8 tonnes, strong enough to ferry an automobile from the hotel’s loading bay in the

basement up to the Ballroom on Level 3, is ideal for transporting heavy equipment to

the Ballroom, easily transforming it into an automobile showroom for model launches,

if required.

The Grand Shanghai Ballroom is adjacent to the Grand Shanghai Ballroom Foyer,

which can be used as a pre-function area and partitioned into two, with one section

18

leading to the outdoor Balcony Garden. It is also interconnected to the 1,018-square

metre (10,957 square feet) Pudong Ballroom by an 8-metre (26 feet) walkway, which

Peter Clarke, General Manager

In 2009, Peter joined Shangri-la Hotels and Resorts as hotel manager at the Shangri-La

Hotel, Shanghai in Pudong. While there, he spearheaded extensive preparation for

Shanghai’s 2010 World Expo, hosting over 50 state guests at the hotel. After

graduating in hospitality management in Ireland, Peter began his first managerial

position at the front desk of an international hotel in San Francisco, California. This

mapped his journey within the hospitality industry where his experience spanned across

5-star luxury hotel brands. While steadily rising through the ranks, Peter’s career

brought him from London, the United States, Indonesia, Thailand, China and Hungary.

Peter returned to China for his second stint in Shanghai in 2009 with the Shangri-La

group. A native of Ireland and citizen of the United States, Peter is joined in Shanghai

by his wife Mary and their two sons Aiden (6 years) and Liam (11 years). Outside of

the hotel, the self-proclaimed wanderlust counts cooking, playing the guitar, cycling as

his favorite pass times, besides spending time hanging out with his boys.

Otto Goh, Executive Chef

Originally from Malaysia, Chef Otto Goh is a 20-year culinary veteran with Shangri-

La Hotels and Resorts. A graduate of Professional Culinary Arts from the Stamford

Culinary School in Singapore, he began his career at Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala

Lumpur in 1993. Prior to joining Kerry Hotel, Pudong, Shanghai, Otto served as

A certified brew master from the UK’s Institute of Brewing and Distilling (the

world’s leading brewing institution), Leon Mickelson has been brewing for almost 17

years. Starting out in his native New Zealand, where he first discovered his passion

for premium beer and began learning how to brew, he then moved to Australia,

capitalising on more in-depth brewing opportunities and continuing to expand his

knowledge. While working in the UK, he added the study of cider making to his

credentials. His award-winning craft beers have been acclaimed over the years with a

total of 14 medals by the New Zealand International Brewing Awards, for whom he

eventually served as a judge. Leon has also been recognised by the Australasian

International Beer Awards, the brewing industry’s most prestigious award-giving

Kerry Parkside and the Community

Kerry Hotel, Pudong, Shanghai provides seamless access to multi-brand shops and

boutiques, dining and entertainment facilities within the Kerry Parkside shopping

mall as well as to the office tower and Residences at Kerry Parkside, a service

apartment tower. The Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), the city’s

largest trade exhibition venue with more than 300,000 square metres of space

(3,229,173 square feet), connects directly to the complex via an enclosed footbridge

and walkway. Across the street from Kerry Parkside lies Shanghai’s largest public

gardens and the city’s “green lung”, Century Park, providing 140 hectares.

The Kerry Parkside complex’s own underground subway station is a strategic artery

connecting the new landmark to the rest of the Shanghai metropolis. With the

Maglev express train station a seven-minute ride away from the hotel, guests can

arrive at Pudong International Airport and be whisked off to their rooms for check-in

within 15 minutes; the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to and from the

Maglev train station. Alternatively, Pudong International Airport can be reached in

approximately 30 minutes via the airport expressway.

From its traditional origins as a vast farmland, Pudong, on the eastern banks of the

Huangpu River, has emerged as China’s financial and commercial hub and one of the

fastest developing districts in Shanghai today. From the distinctive skyscraper-dotted

skyline of the Lujiazui financial district overlooking the Huangpu, Pudong sprawls

towards Century Park and its surrounding communities of trade and export processing

zones, upscale residential areas, schools and golf clubs, while encompassing popular

sightseeing attractions such as the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum,

cultural venues such as the Shanghai Oriental Art Museum and the future site of

Shanghai Disneyland.
