I’m not a fan of lamb so I never order that, but those beef cheeks loook divineee omg they look oh so tender!!

Ooh if you love lamb then you will love lamb meat kebabs here in China! The best ones are from Xinjiang (which is a region north east – it’s the one Muslim region of China! I really want to go but it’s HUGE and very far away) and they put a really yummy seasoning on it and cook on the BBQ in front of you. SO good! It’s unfortunately less common in Shanghai than it is in Beijing (which is further north and so closer to Xinjiang) but I think they always have them at festival type events. I know you don’t like the idea of street foods, but these are SO delicious, once you’ve hardened your stomachs a little bit I definitely recommend them! :o)

Also, I hate how many so-so Thai places there are in Australia! And how so often “spicy” is not really all that spicy! I haven’t tried Thai here yet, but I’ve heard there’s a few good places, including one near the Bund. I’ll let you know if I find anything!

Wow I wouldn’t even have imagined lamb meat kebabs in China! Is that a traditional dish or is it like the lebanese kind?

Totally agree most Thai places are totally fake here in AU.. it’s like nothing you’d ever find in Thailand, heh!

Oh wow, everything at A La Facon de Shimizu looks so good, particularly the tempura camembert! Is that meant to be dessert or as an appetizer?
