The Executive Chinese Chef leads the Chinese culinary operation, including menu planning, recipe development, food preparation, presentation, kitchen organization and team supervision. Candidates are expected to have extensive experience in Chinese cuisine, preferably in a luxury hotel or high-end restaurant, with strong knowledge of Cantonese or regional Chinese cooking techniques. The role requires leadership, creativity, cost control, hygiene awareness and the ability to maintain consistent quality during busy service periods. The successful candidate should be capable of training kitchen colleagues, managing food purchasing and inventory, complying with health and safety standards, and delivering an excellent guest dining experience in line with Shangri-La standards.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a Hong Kong-founded luxury hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and serviced residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international destinations. The company is known for personalized service, upscale accommodation, destination dining and strong attention to guest comfort. Its Indonesian operations serve both leisure and business travelers and typically include restaurants, meeting facilities, wellness services and extensive guest amenities. Shangri-La places emphasis on gracious hospitality, professional development, teamwork and consistent brand standards. An Executive Chinese Chef can expect to work in a structured international hotel environment, collaborating with food and beverage leaders, culinary teams and suppliers while contributing to menu quality, commercial performance and guest satisfaction.
Indonesia offers culinary opportunities in major hotel and resort markets such as Bali, Jakarta on Java, Batam, Lombok and the Riau Islands. Chinese cuisine is widely appreciated, while local food culture emphasizes rice, seafood, spices, regional specialties and communal dining. Bali provides a relaxed international lifestyle, strong tourism networks and access to beaches, although housing and traffic can be expensive in popular areas. Jakarta offers broader career options, shopping and urban amenities but has heavier traffic and a faster pace. Foreign chefs generally need employer sponsorship and an appropriate Indonesian work permit and limited-stay visa; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Relocation packages vary, so candidates should confirm accommodation, flights, insurance, tax handling and service-charge arrangements directly with the employer.
