I never thought that finally I came back to Surabaya<\/strong> again. It was my second visit to Surabaya<\/strong> and this time we stayed in Shangri-La Surabaya<\/strong> for two nights, and we had a wonderful experience during our stay. That’s why I want to share all the memorable things that we had at this hotel. Shangri-La Surabaya<\/strong> is a luxury 5-star hotel that provides comfortable rooms, suites and exceptional dining experiences and cuisines at the hotel. Even though it’s an old hotel, Shangri-La Surabaya<\/strong> still has its charm that makes people coming back and stay at this hotel. With my husband, Andy Handoko<\/a>, we arrived in Surabaya<\/strong> with a morning flight and were picked up by a limo service that has a WiFi service in the car.

Lunch at Shang Palace<\/strong>\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n

Shang Palace<\/strong> known as one of the popular Chinese food restaurants at Shangri-La Hotel<\/strong> in worldwide that serve Cantonese delights for diners. We went there for lunch and try the new menu called ‘Rooted in Nature’<\/strong>, which means all the ingredients mostly sourced from local people in Surabaya<\/strong>. Although yes, there are some ingredients are imported from outside. We started our palate with double boiled sea cucumber with dried scallops, chicken and herb Cordyceps Flower. Ah! The soup was indeed a good starter! Followed with oven baked Salmon Fillet with Black Pepper Sauce, Shang Palace’s Horenzo Bean Curd with Shimeji mushrooms, and move on to Sauteed sliced beef with garden greens and mushrooms in Oyster sauce. The sliced beef was extremely tender, and the soup had a very good flavor! Finally finished with the double boiled sweetened pear in tangerine tea. The boiled pear as one of the signature desserts at Shang Palace<\/strong>, was served warm, so soft and comforting!<\/p>\n

Chi, The Spa at Shangri-La Hotel<\/strong>\r\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n

Spa massage at Chi, The Spa at Shangri-La Surabaya<\/strong> left us a memorable experience. I tried the Maduranis Massage focusing on my leg while my husband tried the Balinese Massage that focuses on his leg, but the full body massage was equally to relieve tension and stimulate our metabolism. It was very relaxing!<\/p>\n

\"Freeflow<\/a><\/p>\n

Our room was quite spacious and very comfortable, so that makes us sleep soundly and wake up feeling refreshed in the morning. When we passed through the lobby lounge, I was reminded of the same Lobby Lounge at the Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta<\/strong>. There I realized that the ambiance of the lobby lounge of Shangri-La Hotel<\/strong> is so typical, very spacious with gorgeous red sofa. Many large windows that allow sunlight into the lobby and visitors can see the beauty of the park through this window. How nice!

Lunch at Nishimura<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n

Shangri-La<\/strong> has different cuisines available for everyone to discover at the hotel. If you want Japanese food<\/strong>, Nishimura<\/strong> is the right option when you’re in Surabaya<\/strong>. The restaurant nicely decorated with Japanese minimalist decor, and we really enjoyed our lunch at Nishimura<\/strong>. I would like to recommend you to try the Tokujyo Sashimi Moriawase, which is one of their signature dishes. In addition to fresh sashimi, we also tried some other favorite dishes, such as Chicken Katsu Bento, Shokado Bento, and Aburi Shake Salada Maki. Oh, don’t forget to order Chawan Mushi, it’s still one of the best I’ve tried so far!<\/p>\n
