In the quest to find good dim sum in Shanghai, we ventured to the newest Lei Garden 利苑 branch in IAPM.
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.
Back to Capo, one of my Shanghai favorites. Bottom line, Capo is very good Italian food by Chef Enzo.
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.
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.
From Momofuku baos in New York to street baos in Shanghai, I just cannot resist those fluffy steamed buns packed with meat and veggies. Little Bao in Hong Kong serves chic baos with choices of pork, chicken, fish, and mushroom sandwiched between white bao halves.
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.
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.
Mondays at Coquille mean RMB¥600 select bottles of champagne and 30% off oysters. As if I need yet another reason to come here.
Forget about the starters and sides. Take the money you would have spent on those and spend it on another steak to share.
