The most luxuriant hotel in Beijing, the Legendale Hotel, has a secret its keeping. A secret so shocking that it would send everyone rushing in to take advantage. Well, I am about to spill the secret, because after experiencing it, I cannot in good conscious let it go unknown. The secret is L Café. A holy grail of fine high dining, its value is its superb quality food coupled with modest prices. Yes, in this temple of food, you will uncover the secret of dining like royalty without having to pay like one.

Hangzhou, 33China
It's easy to dismiss Hangzhou as an up-and-coming star in the food scene, since the common perception of this city is mired in the rubble and dust of construction sites, oppressive rush-hour traffic, and thronging masses of people trying to squeeze past each other as they make their way to work. It's also easy to miss the modern side of Hangzhou, because much emphasis has been placed upon its historic West Lake tourist-attraction appeal for the last few years.

Swensen's American Diner & Ice Cream Parlour and Prima Taste Kitchen

14 Xin Dong Road, Sanlitun, Chaoyang District // 北京三里屯新东路4号 Tel:010-6417 1459
BeijingChina
So, Swensen’s & Prima Taste Kitchen.. those who recognise the individual brands - the former an American ice cream parlour chain and the latter a Singaporean restaurant franchise – may well be scratching their heads over their innovative pairing at a new location in Sanlitun.
First off, the combination is apparently only odd to non-Singaporeans. Since Swensen’s first arrived there back in 1979, its concept has been industriously tweaked to suit Asian tastes (BLT with pineapple anyone?) to the point that Singaporeans now view it as essentially a domestic phenomenon.

Hangzhou, 33China
A little time spent in Hangzhou, China will reveal to anyone that it is indeed a classic example of a second-tier mainland city -- and a long way from ever being in league with the neighboring metropolis of Shanghai -- but it's still got a lot to offer travelers, diners, and residents on its own.

Lounge 18

No. 18, Zhongshan East Road (The Bund) // 外滩18号， 上海中山东路18号. Tel: +86 21 63238099
ShanghaiChina
A new, upscale Bund-side restaurant – you know what to expect; glamorous couples enjoying glittering views across the Huangpu over ostentatious European cuisine.
But the décor at Bund 18 is a clue that this new venue might offer something a little different. Sumptuous, ornate furniture sits in a large and otherwise stark space. It’s an interesting and somewhat quirky stylistic blend; a mixture of old colonial grandeur and modern minimalism.

Shanghai, 31China
This is the world’s highest restaurant – that is the claim the Park Hyatt Shanghai makes about their latest venture, 100 Century Avenue. While this claim might be disputed by restaurants slightly higher above sea level, there is no denying that the view you get from this venue is something extraordinarily special.
100 Century Avenue covers the top three floors, 91 through 93, of the Park Hyatt hotel and consists of a restaurant, two bars (one western, one Shanghainese) and a function room each covering a floor.

Brasserie Alyssa Cuisine Thailandaise

Shanghai, 31China
Trying to find a certain restaurant or boutique is always a bit of a challenge in the warren of lanes that is Taikang Lu. Located on the second floor of La Brasserie by Hiro, it’s hard to imagine how, without recommendation, you would ever come to choose Alyssa Cuisine Thailandaise amongst the plethora of similar Thai restaurants hidden in this labyrinth, but it’s well worth making the extra effort to find it.
