Lunch at the recently very popular Xixi Bistro. The owners are Italian (Piercarlo Panozzo and Ivan Icardi from UVA and FUMO), the chef is Shanghainese (Tony, also from UVA and Fumo), so the food is Chinese with an Italian flair. Cute place, good value, plus there’s a lovely courtyard that would be perfect on a nice day when the construction is eventually over.
Lunch set Xixi Bistro is 88 RMB for a 4-course set. We started with two light appetizers: sea grape salad, and okra with sichuan pepper dressing.
Shrimps rice bruschetta.
Ragu Jiaozi.
Scallion oil noodles with mentaiko.
Pesto fried rice with chicken and vegetable.
Slow-cooked pork ribs with rose BBQ sauce.
Spicy pork intestine stuffed with glutinous rice.
Again, cute place, pretty good food, great value. There is also an upstairs cocktail bar, FYI.
