The buzz: A new, more upscale dining brand launched by popular local restaurant chain Harvest Festival, specializing in Ningbo, Shanghainese and Catonese cuisine.

New & Noted: Dec 12
A few notes on this week’s feature, the 50 Things to Eat story. First, it’s not a ranking. It’s just my 50 favorite things to eat in Shanghai, for the year of 2008. It’s reflective of my tastes, which is my second point: it’s not healthy at all. There’s only one dessert; I usually abstain, unless it’s Charmant.

I eat out a lot. Six, seven times a week. Sometimes it's smuggled U.S. Prime steaks and Bordeaux.

If you were wondering last week, as I was, what the future of Villa Oro holds, Warren Ren, their friendly lawyer, would hereby like to assure you that “the words ‘ORO SH will be closed in the Dec 2008 / ORO SH will be closed in the beginning of next year’ are completely not true.

A new, high, high-end sushi place is in the works above El Willy. It’ll be tiny – 14 seats, I believe – and the prices will be as high as the quality. Estimates now are in the high three figures (per person), justifiable considering the level of the sushi, which I’ll vouch for.

Christopher St. Cavish visits nine places for some hot, chocolate love.

Jean Georges is making some changes. He’s snapping his Shanghai restaurant into line with Jean Georges New York, which means adding a casual attachment: Nougatine. That’s now the name of the lounge area you pass through on your way to the dining room.

Other people - people with ovens - are cooking. Give thanks with the SH guide to Thanksgiving.
November 12th, 2008
Coco Curry has burned me twice in the last month. Both times a craving for a thick, Japanese curry led me to basement of Jiu Guang in search of said brown-and-white plate, and both times I was rebuffed by the stretched plastic covering of renovation.
