Too lazy to go out of the hotel for lunch, we decide to stay in and pick a restaurant from the many choices Pudong Shangri-La offers.
Japanese, of course!
I love business lunch sets. They’re fast, they’re complete, and most of the time, they give you the best bang for your buck.
Chawanmushi and cold appetizer that come with the set – quite ordinary
Sukiyaki set – beef is not the best quality but we’re not paying wads of Mao for it either
Unagi set – my favorite Japanese rice topping. I wish they were more generous with the eel, or at least the kabayaki sauce
WHAT?!?!
No green tea ice cream for dessert?!?!?!
The only problem with lunch sets is when the food reaches the finish line before my stomach does.
This is when the ala carte menu comes to the rescue.
Sweet shrimps – fresh, sweet and certainly not enough. I kinda like the odd-tasting seaweed squares, too.
Mixed tempura – fried beautifully, but tempura is just tempura
The food is alright, I guess.
But I still can’t get over the fact that there is no dessert.
