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.

At Beijing‘s Michelin-starred Giada Garden, Exec At Beijing‘s Michelin-starred Giada Garden, Executive Chef Cielo Liu @changliuchef begins a new culinary chapter.

His cooking is deeply rooted in Italian tradition, yet he holds a firm belief: the future of flavor knows no borders. 

His Italian cuisine is a natural convergence of his Chinese heritage and Japanese culinary experience.

· Pasta aged with koji to boost umami
· Chinese yellow wine for aromatics
· And a ravioli inspired by a xiaolongbao. 

This is Cielo Liu, and the latest menu at Giada Garden.
