Bubblegum's Finds: XinWang

Xin Wang

WHEN: Daily 7:30 AM to 11:30 PM

WHERE: Several Stores (Kerry Parkside in Pudong, Shanghai)

WHY: The store had great simple but colorful decorations that I really enjoyed. I appreciated the factory-like, metal furniture and they had really nice light fixtures. The servings were great for the price (inexpensive) and the asian food was quite authentic. 

The food was good and arrived timely. However, the service was not wonderful (understaffed) and waiters had the unpleasant attitude that is often seen in Shanghai. One thing I love about this restaurant is that it also has an adorable add-on bakery with a delicious assortment of breads (lots of authentic Canto food).

If you're planning on visiting this lovely city, I would recommend this restaurant for its good food and great prices! Comment down below if you've ever been or if you have any restaurant recommendations for us.

(some great bread, dip in olive oil and vinegar)

(i got curly hair without curling! whaaaat?)

(pretty delicious pizza)

(steak with eggs and delicious mushroom sauce)

(vegetarian lasagna)

(grilled tuna with eggplant)

(even the take out box was gorgeous)

Honestly, pretty damn good food.
Unfortunately, you fill up on the all you can eat buffet appetizers...
The entrees aren't my favourite. 
I think I am just use to the Americanized Italian food.
So real Italian food ain't attractive to me...
but I definitely think the atmosphere makes up for everything.
and in Shanghai, they really do have pretty great service.
Super nice, super kind.
loving this life.
