The Executive Chinese Chef leads the Chinese culinary operation, creating authentic, high-quality menus while maintaining Shangri-La’s standards for taste, presentation, food safety and guest service. Candidates are expected to have extensive experience in Chinese cuisine, preferably in a luxury hotel or high-end restaurant, with strong knowledge of regional cooking styles, ingredients and modern culinary techniques. The role requires proven leadership, menu-planning and cost-control skills, as well as the ability to train and motivate a multicultural kitchen team. The successful candidate should be creative, commercially aware, organised and comfortable managing kitchen budgets, purchasing, hygiene procedures and daily operations in a demanding hospitality environment.
Shangri-La is an international luxury hospitality group founded in Asia and recognised for its warm Asian hospitality, upscale hotels, resorts and city properties. The group operates across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other key destinations under brands including Shangri-La, Kerry Hotels, JEN and Traders. Its properties typically offer accommodation, restaurants, banqueting, wellness facilities and extensive business or leisure services. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on personalised guest care, service excellence, employee development and creating memorable experiences. In Indonesia, the group has operated premium hospitality properties serving both international travellers and local guests. Culinary roles within Shangri-La generally involve high operating standards, multicultural teamwork, strict food-safety practices and opportunities to work with diverse dining concepts. Benefits may include meals, uniform, medical coverage, service charge and accommodation or relocation support, depending on the property and employment contract.
Indonesia is an archipelago with major hospitality opportunities in Bali, Jakarta, Java, Lombok and resort islands such as Bintan. Bali is especially attractive for chefs, with strong demand from luxury hotels, restaurants, villas and beach clubs, while Jakarta offers large city hotels, corporate events and international dining. Indonesian culture values hospitality, community, respect for elders and religious diversity. Lifestyle ranges from busy urban living to relaxed coastal communities, with varied food, tropical weather and generally affordable local transport and services. Foreign employees normally require employer-sponsored work authorisation, commonly involving a work permit and appropriate limited-stay visa or KITAS; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Requirements can change, so candidates should confirm procedures with Shangri-La and Indonesian immigration authorities. Relocation planning should include accommodation, health insurance, tax arrangements, document legalisation and regional travel. Basic Indonesian is useful, although English is common in international hotels.
