On July 22nd, during the solar term of Great Heat, the hot summer season witnesses a bountiful harvest of fruits and vegetables. From today until the end of August 2024, visitors to the Lumière's Kitchen at the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel can embark on an incredible food journey to enjoy exclusive summer delicacies. These seasonal dishes feature Shanghai's local agricultural products, such as the 8424 watermelons and Nanhui honey peaches, offering guests a distinctive taste of Chinese flavors.

According to Disney's head chef, the 8424 watermelons from the Pudong district are renowned and favored nationwide for their thin skin, crisp flesh, and high juice and sugar content. The chef takes advantage of the watermelons' refreshing sweetness to create a variety of desserts including watermelon cream mochi, watermelon mousse cake, watermelon tart, and watermelon shake. Additionally, innovative dishes like watermelon thick omelet and watermelon rind stir-fried pork neck are also featured. These creations highlight the original flavors of the ingredients while pairing them with carefully selected items like eggs and pork, delivering a multifaceted gustatory enjoyment.

The Nanhui honey peaches are known for their rich aroma, juicy texture, and sweet flavor. The chef combines the peach flesh with various ingredients, such as pork, chicken, and vegetables, creating a range of dishes including peach and pork rolls, roasted chicken legs with pan-seared peaches, and peach salads. Sweet treats such as peach roll cake, peach mochi, peach bubble milk tea with pudding, and peach Collins are also created, adding a touch of pink sweetness to the dining experience.

The Sanlin crackable melon is another local gem from Pudong, distinguished by its golden color, paper-thin skin, and delicate texture. At Disney, the melon is featured in a variety of healthful, tasty, and visually appealing dishes, including crackable melon and avocado yogurt parfait, crackable melon macarons, crackable melon crepes with chocolate sauce and cream, and crackable melon salad, all tempting choices for diners.

The flesh of Chongming golden melon has a unique texture that turns into crystal-clear golden threads when blended, with a flavor reminiscent of sea cucumber—tender, fragrant, and crispy. Disney's chefs pair it with local seafood such as orchid mussels and clams to create refreshing summer dishes like golden melon with orchid mussels and clam salad with golden melon.

The small oil gourd from Nanhui is another unique Shanghai ingredient. Breaking away from conventional flavors and single recipes, Disney's chefs combine small oil gourds with various seafood and blend them with fish gluten, and spicy beef tongue to create a diverse menu offering, catering to the discerning palates of the diners with a wide range of flavors.
