"This upmarket dining concept nests in a shopping mall where century-old buildings are connected by a glass dome. The owner Mr Lin, a Taizhou native, has been cooking since the age of 19 and he ensures dishes are as authentic as they can be. Homestyle braised pomfret boasts a velvety texture and deep flavours, served with hand-made glutinous rice cake. Marinated tofu, and sweet potato noodles with sea anemone are also worth trying." - Michelin Inspector
"The décor befits the heritage of the circa 1930 architecture in the former British Concession. The menu is mostly the same as the Runan Street flagship, but this branch focuses on high-end dishes, such as fried scallops in mashed taro and giant grouper which is shipped in daily. Dim sum is made in-house and soups are double-boiled for at least six hours. Only reservations before 5:30pm for dinner and 11:30am for lunch are accepted." - Michelin Inspector
"Architecture lovers flock to the Huangpu River's western side to stroll the Bund, a waterfront tourist magnet in central Shanghai. There's a glorious mishmash of late-19th- and early-20th-century styles here, from Gothic revival to art deco. Walk by the Fairmont Peace Hotel—first opened in 1929 as the Cathay Hotel—to behold its copper pyramid roof turned aqua with age. (Talk about aging gracefully.) Then hit the marble-floored HSBC Building (No. 12) to admire thedomed ceiling's eight mosaic murals, with frescoes depicting the 12 zodiac signs."
