Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang has earned an “A – Amat Bersih” rating from the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) under its Food Premises Cleanliness Rating Programme, securing the highest classification available under the scheme.
The recognition places the resort at the top tier of food premises on Penang Island, a distinction that carries weight in a city long celebrated for its culinary culture. Penang’s food scene draws visitors from across the region, and the standards expected of its dining establishments, whether at a hawker stall or a full-service resort, remain consistently high. For a property like Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, which hosts both leisure travellers and long-stay guests, maintaining rigorous hygiene practices across multiple dining outlets is a considerable operational undertaking.
The MBPP’s Food Premises Cleanliness Rating Programme assesses food establishments on a range of hygiene and food safety criteria. An “A – Amat Bersih” classification, which translates to “Very Clean,” represents the programme’s highest grade and signals that a premises meets stringent requirements across all evaluated areas.
The resort’s management noted that the achievement reflects the dedication of its team, who uphold these standards as part of their daily operations rather than in preparation for any single inspection.
The “A – Amat Bersih” rating is a clear signal to guests that the resort takes food safety seriously at every level of service, from kitchen preparation to the dining table.
Congratulations to the entire team at Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang on this well-deserved recognition. It is a reflection of the hard work, discipline, and care that goes into every meal served at the resort each day.
