Shangri-la, it’s a word that conjures images of exotic, far off lands and tranquil elegance. The word means land of sacredness and peace - two concepts which were of the utmost importance to the Taste Gourmet Group, modern Chinese cuisine restaurant, Dab-pa. The ingredients that find their way onto the visually stunning plates at Dab-pa are sourced from around the world and are treated with a sacred respect in order to bring out the best flavour and balance in each dish. The atmosphere has been carefully curated and features a calming green oasis and subtle pink and gray tones meant to bring diners a sense of peace, even amidst the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong’s busy neighbourhoods.

Dab-pa’s culinary style hails from the North and East of China. While dishes are designed to invoke the joy that comes from tongue-searing spiciness, the skilled culinary team make use of their decades of experience cooking Szechuan style meals by balancing the fire of the chilis with the complex flavours of fermentation, pickling and sticky sweet flavours, all while ensuring visually spectacular plating. Dab-pa’s head chef, Kung Ping, relies not only on his skill and execution as a culinary master, but also on the top-quality ingredients sourced from around the world.
