Monday eve Lost Heaven and yeesterday Malone's. I have to say my hamburger was of better value than the food we had in Lost Heaven.

Lost Heaven is pretty nice restaurant, but gets sometimes bit too noisy. Service was not good and the ladies were very clumsy. Some of the food on the menu is not Yunnanese.

A new place I think, at least I hadn't seen before...Luneta in Julu Lu...near the junction with Fumin Lu, next to a Freshmart and pretty near Mesa.

Filipino food but there were a few western dishes too. Didn't try their fish and chips but will be back for that. Can't remember the names of the food we had, sorry, but there was one chicken and pork dish which was fantastic.

Bonus was that the drink seemed to be two for the price of one...at least my four bottles of beer came to 50rmb. Looks like the kind of place you could just drop in for a drink if you wanted. More like a bar with tables than a restaurant with a bar if you know what I mean. I'll be back anyway.

Finally got around to trying lunch at Pasti the other day ... spaghetti is pretty good, better than average anyhow. Good quality and al dente, even. And the prices are not totally ridiculous ... waitresses suck (not in the good way), decor is nice.

But the thing that surprised me was we were the only ones there. It's September now, shouldn't things be picking up ?

Sophia's Restaurant

Huashan Lu, on the SW corner at Wulumuqi. An elegant four story townhouse divided into quiet private rooms. A Chinese restaurant serving Shanghai/Western fusion (I'm not sure what that means), that was nothing to either boast or complain about. Once the food arrived the waitresses would retire to right outside the door, a nice touch, but at the same time they managed to reappear right on cue to top off our beers and clear the plates. Can't comment on the cost because I wasn't the one hosting, but the consensus of the few reviews I've read is that it's a bit pricey. The service was efficient, the food was adequate. I don't imagine that I'll ever go back.

MyThai in Cloud 9 Mall, it sucked, terrible food but ok service. I love Thai food and have been to 5 in Shanghai, and while I know its not authentic (have been to 3 cities in Thailand) but MyThai was really bad, could not wait to get out of there. They only had 2 kinds of DomYum soup!

Last night we were at Jimix on Beijing Xi Lu - walking distance for everyone who lives at La Doll or City Castle. Quite good Italian with a nice patio and some good pizza at reasonable prices (not like Casa Mia, that has mediocre food at high prices).

Night before: Chicken Commando. Finally a place that has & delivers some nice chicken (1/4, 1/2, 1/1) with fries. Try the Caesar Sauce (which is not a Cesar but a garlic sauce, skip the Thai Sauce which is not good).

Earlier this week went to Le Voyage on Yongjia Lu near XiangYang Lu for the Tues night dinner. SE asian food. Everything was fresh and had a lot of taste. Had a taste of everything just about, and was pretty happy with the meal. Curry's were good, though the yellow as a little sweet. I would go back just for the Chicken Coconut soup. Could have made a meal of the appetizers. Had the leftover spicy noodles for dinner the next day. Overall, really good and I will go back.

Pasti on Beijing lu, looks like it got sold. New name, new decor, headed down the toilet. We should have gone earlier, three months ago it was nice. Sad
