The legendary Kichi Kichi Omurice arrived in Shang The legendary Kichi Kichi Omurice arrived in Shanghai for the first time! @kichikichi_omurice 

Led by 70-year-old Motokichi Yukimura, it’s hailed as “the most viral omurice” in Kyoto, Japan — a spot that’s notoriously difficult to book and only accepts same-day reservations.

He’s been making omurice for 47 years and has it down to a science: two eggs per omelet, and I swear, less than a minute from pan to plate. 

It’s a perfectly silken, gooey omelet every single time. The chicken fried rice was fragrant with soy sauce and black pepper, finished with a beefy demi-glace and creamy vegetable sauce.

But even more impressive than the food was watching the man himself — energetic throughout the entire performance, never missing a beat.

And lucky me. I got to skip the Kyoto queue thanks to this Shanghai pop-up with Tiger 🐯 for their rice cookers 🍚

Wagyu overload at Aburi-En 🥩 Starting off strong Wagyu overload at Aburi-En 🥩 

Starting off strong with Wagyu Ribeye sizzled over binchotan 🔥 a pretty darn solid tasting menu (for two) feat. Rangers Valley beef: thick-cut beef tongue, wagyu with poached pear and foie, wagyu sushi, harami, and marbled intercostal cuts. Capped with Wagyu claypot rice. 

• Aburi-En is a premier Japanese yakiniku restaurant that opened in 2021, located within Kerry Parkside Pudong. Popular for set menus like this one, but à la carte also available. 

✔️Private rooms recommended. Date night for those in the neighborhood!

Four hands at The Peninsula Shanghai — Taylan Yüce Four hands at The Peninsula Shanghai — Taylan Yücel of Gallada, The Peninsula Istanbul joins Eugenio Cannoni @chef_eugeniocannoni of Sir Elly’s, The Peninsula Shanghai.

(Nice to see a familiar face back in Shanghai! @cheftaylanyucel )

A little Silk Road-inspired, and a bit of an ode to each chef’s home of Turkey and Italy. 

Most memorable were the dry-aged hamachi, served with preserved lemon jam, parmesan foam, and stewed white beans, and the lamb, richly spiced, grilled over charcoal and served like a kebab with a hummus side. 

The koji-marinated cauliflower proved to be creative, coupled with Turkish buffalo mozzarella to elevate the humble vegetable. You can’t fault the M9 beef tenderloin — it’s as perfect as beef gets, but I really enjoyed the bone marrow and kumquat “butter” and pickled persimmon as accompaniments.

Baklava was, of course, the perfect end. 

Also — I didn’t know you could dine in the kitchen at Sir Elly’s. (Only for special occasions *hint hint* for exclusive dinner seekers.)
