You’ll find the Moonsha restaurant at 5 Zhong Shan Dong or, as most foreigners know it, 5 the Bund. Situated on the third floor below the much famed restaurant ‘5 on the Bund’, Moonsha is very different from its illustrious neighbour. It mixes high quality Japanese cuisine with a décor that, with its deep red and black colours, is reminiscent of Shanghai back in the 20’s and 30’s.

Along the west bank of the Hou Hai lakes glows a giant red chop that serves as the entrance marker to Ken de Rouge; the four month old fusion restaurant nestled between bars and curio shops. Fusion does not begin to do justice to this beautiful collage of Chinese architecture and Hutong styles nor the menu featuring some very non-Chinese items.
