This is in much evidence by the many Orientals who enjoy Cholada Chan's excellent. cuisine ... So many of the menu items cannot be found anywhere else ... and have an individual taste all their own. You won't find many places with plum sauce like that made at Shangri- La... with crushed pineapple and orange pieces ... It's delicious over plain rice, too ...The pepper steak is among the best to be found ... with green peppers, red peppers and onions. Cholada's crab meat and shrimp fried rice dishes are unlike others ... Both are white, with no soy or browning ... and egg whites, instead of egg yolks, are used ... The fried rice tasties are cooked first, allowed to stand for 20 minutes, and then lightly fried in woks ... Brewed jasmine tea served with meals is not made beforehand ... only when cus- tomers arrive at the restaurant. Shangri-La is also well-noted for its healthy ways of food preparation.
