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

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.

When 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA says it’s white When 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA says it’s white truffle season, you come a’ running. This is most definitely the most decadent meal I’ve had this year. 

The never ending blizzard of white truffles! More on this later — still wrapping my head around the amount of white truffles I had in one meal 😆 from not one but three chefs!

Thank you so much for having me @nick_rotella @ottoemezzobombanashanghai @ottoemezzobombana_hongkong @umbertobombana @ottoemezzobombana_macau @marinodantonio 

White truffle menu is ONNN
