THE FAMILY LI IMPERIAL CUISINE

The founder of the Family Li Imperial Cuisine, Beijing,  Professor Li Shan-lin, taught Applied Mathematics at the Beijing Capital Economy & Trade University.  His wife, Wang Xiao-zhou served as a pediatrician, who passed away in Dec 2009.

Professor Li was born to a prestigious Manchurian family, whose ancestors were “Zhang Bai Qi”(Normal White Banner) Manchurians.  His grandfather, Li Zhi-jia, who lived in the years from Tongzhi to Guangxu periods during the Qing Dynasty, was a high-ranked official working in the Imperial Court.  He was Commander-in-Chief of the Palace Guards responsible for the security of the royal family.  He had the duty to ensure that all household affairs in the Imperial Court were safely taken care of by his staff to the highest standard.  He was also in charge of organizing all the royal banquets including designing the menu recipes.

Being brought up in a family of such a prestigious background, Professor Li has a passion in search of excellence in culinary art since his childhood.  The delicacies of the Imperial Court cuisine currently served in his restaurant are the results of such passion and much research during his lifetime.  He inherited the family mantle and his wife also enjoyed the art of cooking.  His knowledge for culinary art is passed on to his only son, Xiao-lin.  While not professionally engaged as a chef in the beginning, Xiao-lin acquired excellent culinary skills.  In October 1984, the Li family won the top honor in the National Day Banquet Cooking Competition. Then in 1985, Professor Li decided to establish the Family Li Imperial Cuisine, to offer the gourmet public authentic dishes directly from the Imperial Court as well as other delicate dishes of Beijing. Since its opening, the restaurant has achieved great success.  Guests cannot fail to be impressed by the unique style of operation, the cultural atmosphere, and above all the ultimate culinary experience.  The restaurant’s endless guest list of celebrities includes famous politicians, leaders of business, scholars, and artists, representing the elite of the society from all over the world.  Many of them have come to meet the amiable Professor Li and taste the celebrated dishes from the Family Li.

The Family Li’s dishes are, as it is, a combination of Imperial Court cuisine and Beijing traditional cuisine.  With careful selection of only the freshest ingredients cooked to perfection in a refined style, the chefs at the Family Li Imperial Cuisine aim to retain the natural and original flavors of the produce.  The presentation of dishes is always attractive but never pretentious.

In September 2010, Mr Li Xiao Lin, the only son and successor of Professor Li will open a new branch in the Shunyi District of Beijing. Xiao Lin inherited the family mantle and has assisted his parents to manage the old Beijing restaurant since 1985.  He was commissioned to open the first overseas branch restaurant in Melbourne, Australia in 1990.  In 2003, he was commissioned to open the Tokyo branch in Roppongi Hills.  For 3 consecutive years since 2008, the Tokyo restaurant has been awarded 2 stars by the Michelin Gourmet Guide (Tokyo).  Xiao Lin opened the Shanghai branch in 2006 and the Tianjin branch in 2008.  Located in the picturesque Huang Pu Park, the Shanghai restaurant is appointed as one of the few restaurants to serve foreign dignitaries in the 2010 World Expo.

The new branch is located at Europlaza, opposite to the New International Convention Centre.  Xiao Lin, who got a First Honour Degree in Interior Design at the Royal Melbourne University of Technology in 1996, is responsible for the design of this new restaurant.

The Family Li Imperial Cuisine is open daily for lunch and for dinner.
