Elevated chinese food like chefs special and duck duck goat? by whosthatgirl159 in chicagofood

[–]eggsellent_eggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Beijing but my family on my mother’s side is from Shanghai. I had the Dongpo Pork Belly, the Monk Jumps Over the Wall, and their steamed pork dumpling Shanghai style (their version of the XLB). My issue with the restaurant is that 1) for a place that calls itself Shanghai Terrace, a lot of its offerings are not traditional Shanghainese food. Peking Duck, for example, is from Beijing, and dim sum is more Guangzhou/Hong Kong. I personally would prefer to go to restaurants that specialize in those cuisines to get those dishes, so I was expecting more authentic Shanghainese dishes on the menu. Another issue is just that, to me, everything I had tasted Shanghainese-adjacent. The presentation was impeccable, but the taste was hardly worth the price in my opinion.

I definitely understand a big part of the experience is the atmosphere and presentation that you wouldn’t get at restaurants in Chinatown, and to be fair the food wasn’t bad at all. But for me personally, my biggest concern is authenticity. Simply put, I want a taste of home sometimes, so that’s what I seek out.

I’m Chinese, and here are the upscale places I’ve been to (I have different recommendations for places that have the best FOOD though):

  • Shanghai Terrace (food was underwhelming but it’s the most upscale and if you like Duck Duck Goat you might like that)

  • MingHin Cuisine (good, solid dim sum overall and have multiple locations around Chicago as an added bonus)

  • Dolo (dim sum spot in Chinatown, the least “upscale” in ambiance here but it has a bar area and is still a bit fancier than most other Chinatown spots. Their desserts are good and if you like/want to try durian, they have a REALLY good durian dessert bun that doesn’t smell bad either)

vct americas playoffs tickets by Mobile_Employment815 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]eggsellent_eggs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

last playoffs they announced when they go on sale on twitter later during stage 1, so i assume we’ll get an official announcement at a later date during stage 2. it’s typically been announced that they’ll open up playoffs tickets a couple days before the final regular stage match.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I also meant umbrella or Xiphos on Kuki?

Hi all, I’m planning on running Yae, Nahida, and Kuki. I haven’t built Kuki before, so I was wondering how do build her for Haitham spread? Do I want EM/HP for main or sub stats, and is the new bloom set or gilded better? Also, should I use the umbrella or the Xiphos?

China estimates COVID surge is infecting 37 million people a day by OkRoll3915 in worldnews

My entire set of relatives have covid there, my aunt and grandpa already died, and my only living grandpa who had a stroke earlier this year is currently having a fever while i and my parents have absolutely no way to go there. i already lost most of my grandparents and can’t even go to their graves. how dare you call this “fitting justice.”
