120 Favorites
\nNew entry<\/p>\nPhoto from @whatstoloveph<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \nLugang Caf\u00e9 is a Shanghai-based caf\u00e9 focused on providing quality and contemporary Taiwanese<\/strong> cuisine. It\u2019s for<\/strong> singles, couples and groups looking for a place to have casual brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, or dinner. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> intimate affairs. We recommend <\/strong>the Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao, Honey Garlic Squid and Stewed Beef, Tendon and Turnip in Clay Pot for mains and the 12-inch Bellagio Breeze for dessert. Here\u2019s a fun fact<\/strong>: Originally called Bellagio Caf\u00e9, the owners had to rebrand to Lugang (the literal translation of its Chinese name) because Bellagio has already been trademarked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nLast month’s #5<\/p>\nPhoto from Booky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \nGreen Pastures, a farm-to-table<\/strong> concept restaurant created by Chef Robby Goco of crowd-favorite Cyma, promises to deliver locally-sourced and produced, and wholly organic dishes. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who love salads and higher quality produce. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>people who are craving for some good grease. We recommend<\/strong> their salads, homemade cheeses and juice selection. Don’t miss their duck fat fries. Our insider tip<\/strong> is Chef Robby constantly updates the menu \u2018based on what\u2019s in season, what\u2019s new and what\u2019s fresh,\u2019 which is why their menu is stamped with a validity period. Breakfast is served at their BGC branch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s for <\/strong>families and groups who are looking to celebrate special occasions affordably. Customers are loving their avocado ice cream. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who prefer the ambiance of a hotel buffet. Our insider tips<\/b> are (1) Visit on your birthday month for a free meal. Don\u2019t forget to bring a valid ID.
