On the horizon, the Hyatt Regency Pudong Jinmao Tower is naturally the first choice. It is the most distinguished hotel in Shanghai and is famous for its high price. Like most five-star hotels, Hyatt's Chinese restaurants are lackluster, and the abalone wings and ginseng belly, which are more expensive than outside, don't leave much impression on people, but the Italian food and Japanese food on the 56th floor are really good, and the western food on the 54th floor is also good. Hyatt also owns the tallest bar in Shanghai. Linglong Bar on the 53rd floor is famous for martinis, while piano bar has a large suede sofa and flowing piano sound. There is also a lounge on the 87th floor, overlooking the night view by the Bund and Huangpu River. That charming feeling is hard for people who have never experienced it to express. The food and wine here are very expensive, but it is much more comfortable than queuing to visit the 88th floor sightseeing hall or climbing the Oriental Pearl.
Of course, you don't have to spend so much money to enjoy the beautiful night view of the Bund. Hyatt can be crowded sometimes. At this time, the Diamond Building on the Bund of Jinling Road is a good choice. On the fifth floor of this strange triangular building is a western restaurant, which serves excellent steak and quite mellow red wine below 100 yuan. What makes people particularly happy is the open-air platform by the river. The intoxicating night in Pujiang is a wonderful product whether it is accompanied by food or wine. In the sunny afternoon, it is also a good place to bask in the sun and see the scenery, but if it is too cold or too hot, I will move to the "real pot" on the Bund of Yan 'an Road. Compared with Starbucks, this large chain cafe is more sophisticated and meticulous in discovering the personalities of different kinds of coffee beans. As the disseminator of Japanese Coffee Lane, it showed us the best coffee products such as "Jamaican Blue Mountain" and "Indian Mountain Emerald", and the excellent abalone and seafood crispy soup in professional restaurants were even more delicious. Drinking coffee in front of the French window, watching seagulls hovering between the blue sky and white clouds (the blessing of the first phase reconstruction project of the North Suzhou River), it was dinner time in a blink of an eye.
The Bund 16 has Dexing Restaurant, the best local restaurant in Shanghai. Only three or four branches of this century-old shop in Shanghai are real, and the rest belong to Dexing noodle restaurant. The latter also has high-standard works such as braised hooves, but it is best to eat the most authentic local dishes or go to the real "Dexing Pavilion", especially the head office on the Bund. "Shrimp with Black Ginseng" is a specialty of Dexing Pavilion, and it is known as "the first ginseng in the world". In the past, the "old restaurant" was also good at cooking this dish, but in recent years it was not as good as before, so we had to let Dexing Pavilion specialize in beauty. Braised herring is also a famous fish of our gang. It's a pity that Tomb-Sweeping Day has passed and won't eat it until then. Eat a rock sugar turtle to relieve hunger these days. "Grass head circle" and "rotten pot head" are both very traditional local dishes. Friends who like it may wish to have a taste.
