Business banquet
Cantonese Restaurant (Joy City Hotel)

Quiet, inoffensive, authentic Cantonese food.
The hotel was very clean and neat, and as we were shown to the private dining room, we noticed how quiet it was. There was no music and no other guests (perhaps because it was a Monday night?) so this would be a good place to perhaps invite a business partner if you had important or private things to discuss. The hotel only opened in 2008, so everything is still very new.

The JW Marriott Tomorrow Square is one of the most visually spectacular landmarks in the Puxi district. Situated in the heart of People’s Square, this towering skyscraper is home to a collection of fine restaurants managed by Marriott International. Having experienced several pleasant dining occasions at this hotel, I was excited to be invited to the former JW’s California Grill now known as Red @ The Grill.

It will be difficult to top this paramount example of five star dining.
A design of mauves, grays, and burgundies and a sleekness of lines impress upon you the Iberian atmosphere. Dimly lit and sound proofed from the loud streets, the relaxing rhythm sets in quickly to your weary body.

Now when my friend told me that she wanted to eat Japanese food, I immediately thought of Sushi and told her that I knew of a good restaurant. Not being fond of my choice and ignorance to Japanese cuisine, she insisted that we went to Kagen Teppanyaki. She then added that it would be like an educational dining experience.

Hangzhou, 33China
Even a place as beautiful as Hangzhou has its cold, dark, and rainy winter nights. On those days, I like to seek out places that are warm, cozy, and inviting. The Oak restaurant in the Holiday Inn Hotel is the perfect place to escape the winter chill. Rather than a stuffy and formal setting, The Oak has a casual and comfortable atmosphere, with soft chairs and bright paintings.

Enjoy an exquisite lunch menu in a contemporary restaurant set in a neo-classical historical building facing the surreal skyline of Pudong.
In the hustle and bustle of Shanghai, most restaurants tend to offer cookie cutter style set lunch menus where “quick and easy” is the operative word. It dawned on me that despite the collection of restaurants in Shanghai, it is not that easy to enjoy a fine lunch in a tranquil setting.

Chef Molina has over 20 years culinary experience, which had included working with international culinary Maestro Alain Ducasse in Hotel de Paris, Monte Carlo.

Experience opulent and luxurious Chinese cuisine.
As I entered Summer Palace, I was immediately transported to another world. With its carved rosewood furniture, Chinese screens, gold design motifs, and classical Chinese guzheng music, the restaurant’s ambiance evokes the opulence and luxury of China’s past imperial times.

Having relocated to larger premises and revamped the popular home-style Moroccan fare, Youssef’s new eatery Argana is a worthy successor to his and Beijing’s first Moroccan restaurant Moro, and a welcome addition to bustling Xingfucun Middle Road.
