The Executive Chinese Chef leads the Chinese cuisine operation, overseeing menu planning, food preparation, quality control, kitchen hygiene, purchasing, costing and team performance. Candidates should have substantial experience in a luxury hotel, resort or high-end Chinese restaurant, with strong knowledge of Cantonese or regional Chinese cuisine. Proven leadership, creativity, cost awareness and the ability to train multicultural kitchen teams are expected. The role also requires excellent food-safety practices, reliable organization, calm decision-making during busy service and a commitment to Shangri-La’s guest-service standards. Experience with banquet operations and managing kitchen budgets would be advantageous.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Asia and recognized for warm, attentive service and distinctive hotels and resorts. The group operates properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international destinations, serving leisure travellers, business guests and large events. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on genuine hospitality, culinary quality, employee development and responsible business practices. Its hotels typically offer restaurants, bars, banquet facilities, wellness services and extensive guest experiences. Working for the group can provide an international environment, structured operating standards and opportunities to work with multicultural teams. Benefits vary by property and country, but hospitality roles may include service charge, meals, accommodation or housing support, medical coverage, uniform and staff-rate travel privileges.
Indonesia offers opportunities for experienced chefs in luxury resorts, city hotels and destination properties, particularly in Bali, Jakarta, Lombok, Batam and the Riau Islands. Chinese cuisine is popular with local guests, tourists and international groups, while Indonesian workplaces value respect, teamwork and relationship-building. Bali provides a relaxed international lifestyle, beaches and a large expatriate community, although traffic, seasonal demand and housing costs can be challenging. Candidates normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and limited-stay visa; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Employers generally guide the immigration process and may provide accommodation, meals, transport or relocation support. Before accepting an offer, confirm salary, service charge, housing, insurance, leave, visa costs and contract length. Learning basic Indonesian is helpful for daily life and team communication.
