After years of culinary journeys, exploring cultures and searching for the secrets of the Asian cuisine, Shahaf Shabtay takes you on “a journey to Asia” with 5 different cooking techniques in MESS Restaurant (Shanghai)

Shahaf’s area of expertise is the south east Asian cuisine: Singapore, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, India and Thailand. Shahaf is a graduate of the École Grégoire-Ferrandi culinary school of cooking Arts in Paris andholds a C.A.P degree.

From his studies Shahaf took the basics and brought them to the Asian kitchen. He brings to the plate a dialogue and an integration between different cultures, connecting the worlds of East and West to an experience of colors, tastes, textures and techniques, all by using Thai raw materials.

Shahaf brings his creation into the plate with a lot of love, great knowledge and talent. He combines fresh raw materials from the world with natural intuition, tastes, spices and textures.
