22 Ships Hong Kong

[Hong Kong] 22 Ships

22 Ships is a Spanish tapas restaurant named after its location at 22 Ship Street and is owned by Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton and hotelier and restaurateur Yenn Wong. The dishes tasted expectantly good and there’s not much more I can ask for when dishes taste exactly how I think they should taste.

Lao Sheng Chang Shanghai

[Shanghai] Lao Sheng Chang 老盛昌

老盛昌 Lao Sheng Chang serves Suzhou style food. Suzhou is so close to Shanghai I really couldn’t tell you what Suzhou specialties are that aren’t also Shanghai specialties. I’m not really sure how this place makes money because the food is cheap even for local standards. On top of that, the food tastes even better than the price you paid.
