I find that if I am particularly fond of a restaurant, there is inevitably a second review where I try to taste the rest of the menu. So here I am, Coquille round 2.
Hai Pai 海派 is a restaurant inside the Andaz Xintiandi serving up modern Shanghainese food. It is great and affordable hotel food without an expense account.

Trying to retell this experience is next to impossible because the taste of Oyama is indescribable euphoria.
Recently soft-opened Urban Thai on Dagu Rd is the second addition to the Urban Thai family. Delicious Pad Thai and mango sticky rice awaits.

Jianguo 328, named after its address, is a tiny Shanghainese restaurant on Jianguo Road. I was underwhelmed given the buzz and queue around this place.
