Shintori Restaurant: Shintori Restaurant - Ying3 Qi1

toilet?? freezer?? passcode?? lights??

Be sure to get the passcode for the day when you make your reservation to Shintori Restaurant. (passcode for that day was 69 - we have to put our hand into 6 & 9 before the correct door to the restaurant opened. Else the other side of the door opened and you will bang right into the mirror if you walk that way)

And did I mention that you must go to the toilet as soon as you get the urge. By the time you find the toilet door and attempt to open it, you may have a big surprise of your life awaiting you ;p

Shintori is a "chain" of seven restaurants - 4 of which are located in Taipei and 3 in Shanghai.

See MaosRedArmy Restaurant Tips, because we went there together with we2346.

Favorite Dish: Thin sliced fish in special sauce
spicy tofu in paper pot

Ajisen Ramen is a very popular chain of Japanese noodle restaurants with delicious hand-pulled noodle soups...! For such an inexpensive eatery, the flavors were so sensational! It reminded me of eating at one of Tokyo's soba cafes, only much, much better! As you can see in the photo, the atmosphere is very nice...! I highly recommend this place... The one I ate at was on Huaihai Road...

Favorite Dish: Noodle soup with chicken and spices, and a side order of potato/fruit salad combination... It sounds simple, but I tell you, the flavors were OUTSTANDING!

The Brasil Steak House, located on the west end of Huaihai Lu just opposite the Shanghai Library, is an excellent authentic Brazilian restaurant...! Went here for a dinner with Emily (VT member simcard)... This place reminded me very very much of a famous restaurant called "Porcao" in Rio de Janeiro... Just like in Rio, waiters keep coming to your table and cutting slices of meat onto your plate from big skewers... There's also a very good buffet and they serve great Brazilian caipirinhas as well...!

Dim Sum in Shanghai.

Guantanamera 502 reviews

I had a dinner at the excellent dim sum restaurant in central Shanghai, pictured here in an exterior night view... I'm not sure the name of the place in English but they had fantastic dim sum, with an impressive selection of tasty options...! The interior decor had an interesting bamboo motif... If you can find it, I highly recommend it... Head south on Xizang Lu alongside People's Park and take the first right just after the park... The restaurant is somewhere close to that area...

The decor is modern and stylish and the menu offers a mix of traditional and innovative Shanghainese cuisine that is very tasty.

Favorite Dish: Try the 'la la ji ding' or spicy cold chicken noodles or any other of their fabulous cold appetizers. An unique dish is the stir fried beef with deep fried dough sticks, a mix of crispy and soft textures.

Roof-top at the Bar Rouge: The best view in the world

Tracy and I at Bar Rouge roof-top bar
4 more images

My friend Chris who has lived in Shanghai for about 5 years (he is French) took Tracy and I here as a surprise, and it would be fair to say we were surprised and completely mesmerised. Chris knows the owner (guess that helps!) but as far as I could see, you dont have to actually pay to get in here, but I guess it would help to ring first and book a table. Bar Rouge is on the 7th floor and has completely unobstructed views of the night lights of Pudong, which was simply magic.

We did have one drink each here (Chris paid!) and only one as they were about 80rmb each. Chris and I had a cocktail each and Tracy had a glass of Chardonay. But it is worth paying that price for drinks when you consider the view that comes with it. Im assuming they also serve light snacks here.

Yong He Beancurd

Have you tasted salted bean curd?
Simply delicious!

Instead of the usual sweeten beancurd why not give the salted ones a try. The bencurds are served in a small wooden bucket. You will have to eat from it.

Order You Tiao (fried fritters) or soya bean drink to go along with your food.

Ye Olde Station: An historical restaurant...

Evocative surroundings...

Ye Olde Station (Shanghai Lao Zhan) is situated in an old villa in Xujiahui. The interior has been preserved with original fixtures, and seating is arranged in the many rooms of the villa, with a main dining room and several private rooms. Seating is also available in a train carriage located in the garden of the villa - this was the carriage originally used by Song Qingling, wife of the founder of the Republic of China, for travels throughout the country.

The food served is traditional Shanghainese - and excellent! The menu is quite exhaustive and every sort of Shanghainese dishes seems to be available. As it is the norm with Shanghainese cuisine, cold dishes are particularly strong. Prices are reasonable, and there is a minimum charge if you book a private room (varies depending on size). Reservation is recommended.

Favorite Dish: The classic Shanghainese dishes, though simple, are the best.
