Travel Diaries by Chef Zhang at Hyatt Regency Delhi:
Hyatt Regency Delhi introduces Travel Diaries by Chef Zhang, a limited-period regional Chinese dining experience at its celebrated restaurant, The China Kitchen. Curated by Executive Chinese Chef Zhang Hongsheng, the menu is a personal interpretation of his culinary travels across China — from Sichuan and Guangxi to Beijing, Shandong and Hunan.
Running until 23rd November 2025, this pop-up offers guests a rare opportunity to explore authentic regional Chinese flavours beyond the usual Cantonese and Sichuan staples.
A Menu Rooted in Journey and Heritage
Chef Zhang’s inspiration comes from years of travelling across China — through Sichuan, Guangxi, Shandong, Beijing and Hunan — learning how food changes with geography, climate and local culture.
Expect traditional techniques like:
- Claypot cooking
- Dry-heat stir-frying
- Slow braising
- Regional spice blending
Each method is used to retain authenticity while presenting flavours in a way that resonates with today’s modern diner.
As Chef Zhang explains,
“Cooking is my passion. This ‘Travel Diaries’ menu is a tribute to the vast, beautiful history of China’s food. Each dish is a story, a moment of tradition thoughtfully reimagined. Our aim is to transport our guests, one flavourful bite at a time, to the authentic culinary landscape of my home country.”
His words echo through the experience — not as a statement, but as something you feel through the food.
Signature Dishes from the Travel Diaries Menu
The menu showcases a curated selection of regional Chinese specialities, including:
- Peking Duck – Crisp, perfectly rendered and carved tableside
- Sichuan Dumplings – Bold, fiery and deeply flavourful
- Mapo Tofu – Classic, comforting, and layered with Sichuan pepper heat
- Guangxi Claypot Lamb – Slow-cooked with aromatic spices
- Shandong Wok-Tossed Chicken – Lightly spiced with balanced umami

Each dish carries precision, technique and a story rooted in regional heritage.
