Enter white truffle season at 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOM Enter white truffle season at 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA Shanghai. Last October, I had the rare opportunity to experience a very special menu at the Michelin two-star restaurant, where all three chefs were present: the legendary founder Umberto Bombana @umbertobombana (Hong Kong 3 ⭐️) and his protégés Nicolò Rotella @nick_rotella (Shanghai 2 ⭐️) & Marino D’Antonio @marinodantonio (Macau 1 ⭐️). So. Much. White. Truffle! White truffle season runs until late December / early January — now serving, along with other equally excellent non-truffle seasonal dishes. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ 🔘 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA Shanghai 📍 6/F, 169 Yuanmingyuan Lu 圆明园路169号六楼 📞 021 60872890 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #米其林 #shanghaieats #shanghai #shanghaifood #michelinrestaurant #michelinstarchef #finedining #italianfood

Proper bahn mi! Yep. In Shanghai. Feral Bahn Mi Proper bahn mi! Yep. In Shanghai. Feral Bahn Mi • Started out back in May as a pop-up street cart (totally illegal, totally gangsta) that roamed Shanghai. Now it has found a brick n mortar on Maoming Bei Lu. 🥖 The bread is... THE RIGHT KIND. You usually don’t find this in Shanghai. The bread has an extremely thin, brittle crust, shattering at a bite. And the crumb is soft, airy, and cotton-like — it’s like biting through a hard meringue. To order: Lemongrass chicken & crispy pork belly. Sauces are dope too, I favor the “buttery fruit chili sauce”. 📍82 Maoming Bei Lu 茂名北路82号 #shanghaifood #sandwiches #shanghaieats #zaishanghai #shanghaifoodie #上海美食 #bahnmi
I rarely recommend vegetarian restaurants, but thi I rarely recommend vegetarian restaurants, but this one is worth shouting about! Salt-Less 淡盐 A creative restaurant in Shanghai’s Jing’an district that will change your perception about how tasty vegetarian food can be. As a carnivore, it really did impress. And contrary to its name, the food here is plenty flavorful. Also, if you’re allergic to shellfish, they do a vegetarian version of crab roe noodles that comes pretty close to the real thing. Great if you want to see what all the fuss is about. #上海美食 #shanghai #shanghaieats #zaishanghai #shanghaifood #vegetarian #素食 #eatyourvegetables #chinafood
