(Ceviche - honestly never thought raw fish
apart from sushi
would be this good)

(drinking the night away?)


(oh the meat girl in me is SO happy)


(red wine, still not my thing)


(dessert wine on the other hand is SO my thing)


(in beautiful radiant orchid)


I have heard so much great things about this restaurant
But I always thought first it was far and second it was too expensive
So I had a chance to go for my job
and I am just too excited
I learned it was not far at all! It was so close I was early!
Second, it was not that expensive! It was worth it
Some restaurants are expensive for the hype but honestly I loved Nota Bene
They were delicious and just everything I want and more
One of the most enjoyable dinner experiences I had.
Gosh, I wish I could capture everything.
But i was busy eating.
Enjoying the moment ;)

Bubblegum's Finds: Favola


Favola in Le Meridien Shanghai
Hours of Operation: 
11:30 am - 2:30 pm & 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Where: 789 Nanjing Road East Shanghai, China
 Why: it's a hotel restaurant, Italian, delicious, mini buffet and a great chef






(fancy glasses)



(the view from 8th floor)


(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.
