ZhaoJiaLou Ancient Town
Perhaps its name has never appeared in the popular travel guides. Perhaps its presentation is more or less similar to other popular ancient towns in Shanghai. Perhaps even local Shanghainese have never heard of this place. Yet, ZhaoJiaLou (召稼楼) is undoubtedly an ideal destination for those who are looking for a tranquil, traditional Chinese atmosphere and, of cour...


SHEX Reviews: New Age Veggie
I must confess that I am not a vegetarian and much less a vegan, although I've dabbled with the thought. As a vegan proprietor, New Age Veggie does not use any animal products: No eggs in the cakes. No meat in the salmon sashimi. No preservatives as far as the eye can see. No pungent plants. No smoking. No alcohol. My gentle coaxing and promise to pay a corking fee were...


SHEX Reviews: Itsuki Teppanyaki
Japanese Teppanyaki restaurants are not only delicious, they're also quite fun. So I decided to head out to the French Concession to experience what Itsuki Teppanyaki had to offer. Located on the second floor in Donghu Hotel near South Shanxi Road Metro Station, Itsuki Teppanyaki is one of the longest-tenured Japanese restaurants in Shanghai, opening in 1994. In 1994...


SHEX Reviews: Pizza Marzano (Xintiandi)
On the corner of Shanghai's premier shopping center, Xintiandi, is also one of the city's best pizza shops. Pizza Marzano is the kind of place you'll find top-quality ingredients put on top of everyone's favorite finger food. Ingredients like spiced pomodoro sauce, smoky pancetta, and aromatic Peking Duck. It's a thin pizza, light sauce. But like Picasso artwork in your...


SHEX Reviews: Blue Heart
Grannie To Us All On a tip from my local friend Dimi we're checking out "Blue Heart". This tiny restaurant on JingXian Lu near South Shaanxi Station on line 1 is surprisingly easy to find. It's also extremely famous in the local community. The matriarch of the establishment is a gray haired woman you could only wish was your grandmother. Grannie Li, when trans...


Sasha’s, Taste a Piece of History
One of the cool things about China is that there is valuable history in almost every corner of its vast territory. Even in some of the most ordinary places around this country, you can find a story worth telling. You might find a piece of land where a major battle was fought, where a famous person once stood, or even stumble across the location of mythological legend....

Cultural Revolution Cookbook author interview

Last month I wrote about this book. Read an interview co-author Sasha Gong did with US–China Today. She talks about life during the Cultural Revolution, and the inspiration for the book. She also provides a recipe for her favourite dish from the book: Honey Braised Duck

"In China, with the way I grew up, if you worked in the factory and talked about food too much you were criticised and had very severe punish
