Oh no, when did this happen? When biking through Huashan Lu the other day, we noticed that one of our favorite Mexican joints - Adobo Latin Flavor - had closed down. It’s now replaced with a hot pot chain. What a shame - with the temperature warming, we were hoping to spend at least a night or two on their tiny little balcony area drinking late night happy hour beer.

That's Shanghai Food & Drink Award winners: Our comments
The That's Shanghai Food & Drink Award winners were released over the weekend, for all you foodies that are curious about what Shanghai likes. And what Shanghai likes, for the most part, is established chains - whether or not they are actually the "best" in their categories. Hey, don't get huffy with us. The guys at That's Shanghai thought the same thing.
The Fat Olive (and other food news)
Greek munching: The Fat Olive, another recent David Laris project, serves some pretty good food. It's just that there's not very much of it. We went there a couple of weeks back and became smitten with the burger, which is served open-faced on a pita that cushions the drizzling juice from the tender, glazed patty. The meat on the kebabs were big, succulent, with a hint of spice but overwhelming original in flavor. A basket of toasted pita and tangy tzatziki were able sidekicks. But as far as mains go, that's about it. The Fat Olive is more for imbibing than it is is for eating, what with that huge terrace and the glam view of Pudong. Snacking on some simple Greek offerings is probably the more operative term. Check it out.
