Shanghai Restaurants

The following list is split into two parts: posts written before 2012 and after 2015, the three-year gap was a result of my long séjour in Paris. The newer posts are listed in anti-chronological order, while the older posts are listed by cuisine, and please do note that these contents are quite dated and might no longer be relevant.
