It's a good place for gatherings, but the store is not big, so you need to book a seat early. The seats are not very spacious, but rather compact, but the atmosphere is still very good. The large glass roof allows sunlight to enter, creating an outdoor feeling, which is very natural. There are also set meals for lunch on weekdays, which is cost-effective. In this atmosphere, you will always pair it with a table wine. The cold dishes of cantaloupe ham and pork cheese pancakes are very suitable for small wines. The shrimp cakes here are very elastic, and they should be handmade. There are also cheese shreds inside, which is different from other stores. The fried fish here is mandarin fish, which is sour and sweet and very appetizing. It is crispy and fragrant without sauce. The lobster soup oatmeal risotto that has been well received online is indeed good. There are also a lot of shrimp meat in the soup and rice, which is particularly delicious. The yellow curry oxtail is crispy and rotten, and it is not paired with potatoes. It should be sweet potatoes that are powdery and glutinous and wrapped in curry sauce, which is delicious. You can also dip some lobster slices, which is just as delicious. Tom Yum Goong soup is perfect, a must-have in summer, and very appetizing. I ordered pork neck as an extra, which I particularly liked. The meat was chewy and very good. Both desserts were classic. The mango sticky rice here was specially colored with butterfly flowers, which made the rice colorful and the mango sweet. The pandan frozen coconut milk was also very refreshing, with bright colors, sweet but not greasy, and delicious.
Fuguiye Thai Bistro & Eatery (Fengshengli Branch) Came here during the Chinese New Year, no queue. Pet-friendly store, you can bring small pets, extra points. The food is served quickly, and a small candied haws was given during the Chinese New Year. The waiter also said Happy New Year. The service is fast, extra points for service. Shrimp flowers, starting at 6 pieces, 12 yuan each, 72 yuan, my friend said it is a signature dish, the garlic slices are a bit spicy, and the taste is so-so. Tom Yum soup, 38 yuan per person, the lemongrass flavor can be a little stronger, it's okay. Hand-made cheese shrimp cakes, 48 ​​yuan for 3 pieces, the outer layer is not crispy, and the outer layer is a bit wet. Ancient curry crab meat, 168 yuan, the crab meat is definitely not as good as the whole crab. Thai rice 8 yuan, served with curry crab meat Banana fried chicken 45 yuan, fried too old, the bottom is soggy, banana tastes better than chicken. Lobster soup oatmeal risotto 98 yuan, healthy Homemade Thai milk tea 30 yuan, the tea flavor is not as strong as authentic Thai milk tea Lobster slices are free and delicious.

The vegetable salad with mango and prawns has a relatively light taste. ~ Tom Yum Goong seafood soup is rich with ingredients such as prawns and clams. ~ The yeh xiang qing is paired with chicken, carrots, zucchini, etc., which is a balanced combination of meat and vegetables. ~ The rosemary charcoal-grilled pork neck is tender and delicious, and there is a wisp of white smoke after opening the lid. ~ Thai milk tea, hot or iced, can be chosen. ~ Mango sticky rice, beautifully presented. ~ Dining here also provides a one-hour free parking ticket.
Located on Wuxing Road, GALANGALThai Bistro (Wujie Branch) boasts incredibly Thai cuisine! Thai Spicy Sour Shrimp: The shrimp are crystal clear on the plate, and dipped in their special spicy and sour sauce, the freshness and aroma are truly delicious and stunning.

Mint Fried Spare Ribs, Black Truffle Meat Noodles: The spare ribs are crispy and fragrant, while the meat sauce noodles are tossed in a black truffle sauce and coated in a delicious black truffle sauce. Coconut Milk Iced Glutinous Rice Balls: A cool, sweet, and glutinous dessert, the final touch is a rich, layered dessert.

The Hainanese chicken is as delicious as ever, with a rich chicken flavor. The stir-fried chicken giblets are also delicious with rice. And the toast is always a favorite; the light coconut flavor and the toasted toast create a rich, rich texture.
👍In Shanghai, this Singaporean dish is better than the one I had in Singapore… As 11 stores are celebrating now, there are 68 coupons worth 100 yuan available to stock up! The colorful atmosphere in the store really puts us in a good mood... ✅Bak Kut Teh Steps to drinking Bak Kut Teh: first drink the soup while it’s hot! The soup is very rich. The second step is to dip the meat in chili sauce and it won’t be greasy at all. Finally, add a portion of fried dough sticks and let them soak in the soup before eating. It is very delicious! ✅Spicy curry beef The beef curry is very spicy and rich in flavor. The beef is fried until soft and tender. Every bite is full of juice and spicy enough. ✅Medicinal Drunken Chicken Casserole A new arrival in winter, the Drunken Chicken Pot is slow-cooked with nourishing broth and medicinal herbs. The soup is rich and the chicken is very tender! Nourish your stomach and body, nutritious and healthy~ ✅Hainanese chicken rice Hainanese chicken rice is delicious! Dip the chicken in the sauce and eat it with rice. It tastes delicious. You can also use soy sauce to draw a little heart on the rice, which is quite interesting! The rice grains are distinct! Delicious with Bak Kut Teh ✳️No. 14, 3rd Floor, Sky Vanke Plaza, No. 66, Lane 2229, Songze Avenue, Qingpu District #Xingzhou Restaurant #Shanghai Travel Guide #Shanghai Food Exploration #Food Festival #Friends Dinner First Choice

Life needs a sense of ritual, and celebrating my mother's birthday naturally requires a unique restaurant. After comparing options, I decided to try Thai cuisine today. Environment: The restaurant has outdoor seating at the entrance, styled like a courtyard. Sitting inside feels like stepping back into a small shop in Chiang Mai. The warm and elegant Southeast Asian atmosphere is immediately apparent upon entering. Service: Upon entering, we were greeted by the sweet-looking Ms. Shirley. After pouring us tea, I told her that my mother couldn't handle spicy food. She thoughtfully told us which dishes were non-spicy and clearly noted on our order: no chili oil, no chili powder, and separate sauce for the sea bass. She even went into the kitchen to make further instructions. Throughout the meal, her professional, attentive, and attentive service made the whole meal feel natural and warm. [Traditional Curry Crab] The signature curry crab is plump and red, and the rich curry sauce is delicious when paired with Thai fragrant rice. [Fried Shrimp Cake] The crispy shrimp cakes are tender and tender, and the Thai plum sauce is sour and sweet. [Thai-Style Phnom Penh Vermicelli with Pork Neck] The smooth Phnom Penh vermicelli and tender pork neck pair incredibly well together. [Thai-Style Lemon Steamed Sea Bass] The sea bass is firm and flavorful, and the uniquely sour and spicy sauce is surprisingly less spicy than expected, making it a delight even for someone who doesn't like spicy food. [Yellow Curry Prawns] The tender prawns are coated in a rich, golden curry sauce, and the aroma of coconut milk, lemongrass, and other spices permeates your mouth. [Secretly Stir-fried Water Spinach with Shrimp Paste] I never expected this water spinach dish, made without chili, to be even better than I've ever had. The emerald green color, the fresh, crispy texture, and the delicious shrimp paste were so refreshing and refreshing that we couldn't stop eating. [Mango Sticky Rice] The soft, chewy rice perfectly blends with the sweet and rich coconut milk. Paired with the juicy and sour mango, this dessert is a favorite. [Thai Milk Tea] This rich, sweet, and fragrant Thai milk tea boasts a smooth, mellow milk flavor, while the green tea is refreshing and silky, with a hint of jasmine. My mother loved the delicate decor and soft lighting, creating a Southeast Asian dining atmosphere. While the food was incredibly satisfying, the personalized service made the trip truly worthwhile. This birthday meal was a real pleasure.
My favorite is fried shrimp cakes, which are sour and sweet, with a crispy outer layer and a soft and chewy inner layer. I have been here many times and always order this dish. This time I also ordered the curry crab, which surprisingly had a lot of crab roe in it!

The first time I tried Ha Tien was in the basement of BFC Bund Financial Center. Later, I also ate it in the basement of Bohui Plaza. However, my family was not satisfied. They felt that there was no rice paper shrimp rolls as thin as cicada wings in Vietnamese cuisine, so they were not interested. It is true that this is just a place for my work lunch. After going to North Bund Raffles Square several times, I have figured out the tricks. You have to drive from Haimen Road to the garage and park directly to B4. Park here at the escalator of Mercury Hall on the left. It will be next to the garage when you exit. Take the escalator to B2, and you can immediately see Ha Tien, which is at the corner of a T-junction in the mall. I sat down and found that the restaurant is not as big as it looks from the outside. It was already past one o'clock, and there were still half of the customers. The business was pretty good. It was not until half past one that the customers left one after another. There are many choices. I personally like its locomotive pho and raw beef pho. The environment seems to be quite comfortable, but sometimes there is a fly flying around, which should be attracted by the fish sauce in Vietnamese cuisine. You have to take the initiative to ask for the invoice. The waiter is very responsive in all aspects. It is still very good to have a simple work lunch here.

A Southeast Asian restaurant with a very good environment. This restaurant is located inside the Anting Auto Expo Park. The environment is very elegant. There are also several bubble rooms in the yard. If you come here at night, it should be more romantic. The service staff in the store are very enthusiastic and the service is very good. |Signature Tom Yum Goong Seafood Soup^A must-order dish, the portion is large, the dishes are complete, and the rice noodles are very chewy. |Thai platter^Highly recommended, especially for friends who are relatively small and want to taste various specialties, you must order it, all kinds of specialties are available. |Thai yellow curry beef brisket pot^The curry is very rich, it should be added with milk, there will be a faint milky fragrance, and the beef brisket is stewed very well, almost melting in the mouth. |Mango sticky rice^It's quite satisfactory, the mango is very sweet and fresh, and it tastes good. There is also a fried preserved egg, which should be a new dish, very creative. It feels like the preserved egg is wrapped in egg liquid and fried again. The taste is great and highly recommended. The merchant provides parking tickets, which can be free for two hours. Don't forget to register the license plate number.

The Singapore restaurant was doing quite well, and was practically full during lunch. The lemon sea bass was tender and, though a bit salty, had a good flavor. The potatoes in the curry beef brisket were particularly delicious.
I saw on WeChat Moments that Shanghai's first authentic Nanyang restaurant has opened. Since my friends and I are getting together, we decided to give it a try! 🌿This newly opened Nanyang restaurant has a very Southeast Asian atmosphere. It feels like something out of the TV series "The Little Nyonya." The flavors are incredibly authentic to Southeast Asian cuisine. I heard the owner has lived in Southeast Asia for 20 years, so it's no wonder they're so authentic and flavorful! 🌟|Boneless Hainanese Chicken^ The Hainanese chicken is incredibly tender and jelly-like, with a smooth, smooth texture that's incredibly delicious! It's paired with four different sauces, each with a rich color and a wonderful flavor! I absolutely love it! 🌟|Singapore Laksa^ The laksa is rich and flavorful, loaded with seafood, fish cakes, peas, and rice noodles, creating a smooth and delicious dish. 🌟Singapore Cereal Prawns Packed with crispy cereal, the large prawns are deep-fried until crispy, and even delicious in their shells. 🌟Coconut Sago Pudding The purple sago pudding is a dreamy color, and combined with the caramel sauce at the bottom, it's sweet, refreshing, and delicious. 👏 Overall, this is a truly delicious and affordable Nanyang cuisine gem, worth a return visit with friends! 🏠Shop: |Singapore Laksa Cuisine 📍Address: 1307 Dingxi Road #EatHappiness #CheckOutInfluenceRestaurants #CheckOutInfluenceRestaurants #FoodFlavorMeetup #MyMidnightDiningHall

Thai Ying Restaurant, a feast for both taste buds and soul! From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was deeply attracted by its unique Thai style. Every dish is carefully made, and the sour, spicy and sweet taste makes people linger, especially the classic Tom Yum Goong soup, which is simply delicious! The service is impeccable, the waiters are warm and thoughtful, making people feel the warmth of home. Whether it is the environment, dishes or service, Thai Ying Restaurant has demonstrated five-star quality and charm, which is definitely worth every food lover to experience! Highly recommended to everyone!
The service staff was very enthusiastic and the environment was very quiet. We booked a window seat in advance. The boat noodles tasted good. I will bring my friends here next time.

[Environment] The restaurant is located in the snack street on the B1 floor of Heshenghui in the Wujiaochang shopping district in Yangpu District. It's very Southeast Asian-style and clean. [Service] The waiter was very friendly and even offered to give me an extra portion of lobster crackers when I asked for one. Great review. [Taste] Aye Songkhla Shrimp Crackers. I've loved lobster crackers since I was a kid, and these were even fresher. I had two and loved them. The traditional Thai yellow curry chicken was very tender and the curry was rich and flavorful, perfect with rice. The Nanyang Coconut Latte is not as sweet as milk tea, so I recommend this one for those who don't like sweet drinks; it's quite refreshing. The traditional Thai milk tea is a big milk tea lover, and I love this one. It's delicious. I'll definitely buy a milk tea next time I pass by, and it's a great value.
I remember my last trip to Thailand was 7-8 years ago. Thankfully, it's still very convenient to get Thai food anytime back home. I chose this Thai food stall, Mini Coconut, to satisfy my craving! 🌴 Atmosphere: The ambiance is a typical Thai-style, fresh and clean vibe with some local advertising signs. The semi-open shared tables are quite relaxing! 💁 Service: The servers were all wearing Southeast Asian floral T-shirts, adding to the exotic atmosphere. 🍛 Food: They have most of the common Southeast Asian dishes. We ordered several classics such as Tom Yum soup, mango sticky rice, grilled pork neck pancakes, shrimp paste water spinach, curry beef brisket, durian smoothie… They also give you Thai prawn chips for sharing on social media. The flavors are moderate, not too strong, but the richness could be improved. The portion sizes are also reasonable, worth the 40-50 baht per person price, considering it's a street food stall. Overall, it's suitable for an occasional treat, with just the right amount of value! #Places trending on social media #A collection of delicious snacks #Food festival #Trending restaurants that are all over social media #My late-night eatery
