Went for a brunch on Saturday, because there was a 1-for-1 special. The food was decent, the ambiance was nice and the service was quite good. Other than that, I am not sure I will be back for another feast.

Happy Anniversary to us!

Happy Dinner at Shintori

edwinting — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:29:15 +0000

Went to Shintori for dinner one evening with Fionna. It was a long day at work, but it was a good day because I had received an unexpected complimentary email from a client, which I had been working hard at getting some recognition. Anyhow, the decision to eat at the place was very random. I had previously been in there once to have a look at the ambience but have never eaten there before.

We both had the Set Dinner (), but I had to have mind revised a little, as I did not eat cheese and I do not eat turtle. The food was good at CNY 220 pax. The service was also good. Sashimi was very fresh! The most exciting part of the entire dinner was that all the presentation of the food was in very exquisite manner.

Asian Fusion, Parkson, Huaihai Rd, Shanghai

edwinting — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:29:58 +0000

Went for dinner yesterday evening at Parkson, at the recenly opened restaurant Fusion (check DianPing.com). They had previously been at xin Tian Di and had just moved over to Parkson Level 8 in August 2009. The restaurant is very well decorated – in a classy and tropical manner.

At the entrance was 2 large vase fountains:

Between the 2 of us, we had a Kang Kong (Preserved Bean Curd) and Yam Ring.

Finally, here is Fionna in her little red dress reading her 50 book set of training.

Good food, good ambiance. Go check it out!

Mum-in-town (cont): Prima Taste – again but not so good this time

edwinting — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:59:32 +0000

Went back to Prima Taste (dianping) for a second time while my mum was i town as we were in the vicinity again, after making a visi to the tailor at Lu Jia Bang, which was terrible at altering my mum’s pants. In the end, we went back a total of 3 times before the pants was finally altered successfully.

Now, back to Prima Taste … please do not order the Tao Suan. It is supposed to be a starchy dessert of green beans, but it turned out to watery and diluted. The garnishing (you tiao) was hardened and over fried and was such a bad dessert. Considering that Fionna only had that for dinner seemed like such a terrible pity.

Stiff, over fried you tiao

I personally had the Char Kuay Teow. The taste was rather authentic, but the noodles were not right. So, it was a half satisfying meal for myself. In fact, there was cockels missing from the dish which would have made a huge difference.

My mum had the Laksa, which is this bright red bowl of soup with coconut milk and spices. It was quite good, but it was missing some elements – Cockels.

Anyhow, I think only the chicken rice was the best dish from Prima Taste.

Mum-in-town (cont): Pizza Feast at Cassanova

edwinting — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:38:05 +0000

After a Saturdays work I was craving for a pizza treat at Casanova along Julu Rd (Hua Shan Rd).

Casanova is an italian tugged away in Jingan District. The ambience was great and the service was prompt. This was the third time back to the restaurant and we had tried both the pasta and the pizza. Although comparative to Penne Ivino, the food is not as great, the food was still good as a restaurant 10 mins walk from home.

Fionna & Mum enjoying a glass of wine

By using the Enjoy Shanghai card coupon, we had a free bottle of wine which was quite a decent house wine. No minimum spending, just show your card and the coupon and you get that free bottle of wine.

The meal was great and was only RMB 236 for 2 large sized pizza that made us really full.
