Last Thursday I went to Shanghai Terrace with Smelts mates PH and CP. They are what we commonly call 'foodies', and as that label implies have refined palates, and dine well frequently. When PH revealed that he hadn't been to Shanghai, I leapt at the chance to docent.
So following a little swim at HIC we partook of a clear night on terrace:

We stared with a round of cocktails, and quickly settled into our starter course of Wagyu Beef, Kung Pao Scallops and Pike. All solid choices with complementary flavours:

Then on to main courses which we shared. I distinctly enjoyed the Pork Belly and Lake Perch- again all complementary flavours which we paired with a German white of some sort:

Following dinner we were all feeling the effects of the pleasant evening and had the urge to roam over to Nomi in the Park Hyatt. Nomi offers another exceptional experience and features an award winning menu. I am sure PC if he is reading this provide detail. Perhaps one of the most enjoyable aspects of Nomi is the view looking East down Chicago Avenue. With the light fixtures reflecting the buildings have a formidable, muscular yet uniform appearance. Very Chicago:

I am looking forward to making this a monthly outing with P and C, so you'll have to check this space frequently for updates.
