[Shanghai] Lei Garden 利苑
In the quest to find good dim sum in Shanghai, we ventured to the newest Lei Garden 利苑 branch in IAPM.
[Shanghai] Liquid Laundry
Liquid Laundry is a gastropub opened by the team behind Boxing Cat, Cantina Agave, and Sproutworks. If we learned anything from their previous ventures, it is that they are good at sticking around.
[Shanghai] Capo (2)
Back to Capo, one of my Shanghai favorites. Bottom line, Capo is very good Italian food by Chef Enzo.
[Shanghai] Mayita (Brunch)
Mayita is Maya’s new sister restaurant located in Fraser Residence where The Fat Olive used to be. Mayita’s brunch menu is mostly similar to Maya’s brunch with a few different dishes but the classics are all there. Good food but not so good service.
[Shanghai] Ladurée
Famed macaron shop Ladurée finally comes to Shanghai. Having previously visited a Ladurée shop in New York and received a box of macarons that survived a flight from the Paris airport, the Shanghai shop is quite on par with the two.
[Shanghai] Chi-Q
Chi-Q is the latest Korean concept at Three on the Bund by Jean Georges and chef/wife Marja (who is half Korean). Chi-Q is Korean food topped with foie gras–literally bibimbop with foie gras, foie gras mandoo, and foie gras BBQ.
[Shanghai] Miss Ali
Channeling the look and feel of a French bistro, newly soft-opened Miss Ali serves Xinjiang cuisine in a much nicer setting than a typical street skewer stand. This, I like.
[Shanghai] Champagne & Oyster Mondays at Coquille
Mondays at Coquille mean RMB¥600 select bottles of champagne and 30% off oysters. As if I need yet another reason to come here.
[Shanghai] 1515 West Chophouse & Bar at Jing’an Shangri-La
Forget about the starters and sides. Take the money you would have spent on those and spend it on another steak to share.
