A throwback to my early days in Shanghai. Bifengta A throwback to my early days in Shanghai. Bifengtang — the HK-style Cantonese restaurant that’s been slingin’ crispy garlic madness since 1998. 

Revisiting after nearly a decade, somethings have changed (mostly the interiors) but others (like the classics) remain the same: garlicky, tasty, and affordable.

I never thought I’d see caviar on a buffet, but he I never thought I’d see caviar on a buffet, but here it is, tins of them, completely unattended! That’s YICAFE’s Friday night seafood buffet for you. Absolute, glorious madness.

Beyond the caviar free-for-all, there’s lobster, king crab, fresh-carved tuna sashimi, crayfish, hairy crab…you get the idea. But also steak, short rib, and food from 10 other live cooking stations. 

It’s normally ¥598, but I’ve arranged a lil something: 20% off, so ¥478.40. (until Jan 30) Woop woop!

It’s been a couple years since I’ve eaten at Le Co It’s been a couple years since I’ve eaten at Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire Shanghai (Michelin one star)… But when the legendary chef is in town, you show up. Lunch was a showing of classic French fine dining, executed by Executive Chef Ramses Navarro.

The highlight was undoubtedly the sole meunière, a flawless fillet medallion paired with a sauce of depth, its richness extracted from rockfish. Another was the Uruguayan beef fillet, paired with a glossy tataki sauce.
