A Lost Heaven
For tastebuds in tune with Yunnan - A Lost Heaven - By Hien Huynh, Oct 23, 06
Just around the corner from Y + Yoga on Fuxing Xi Lu, is the little-known street of 'Gao Yao Lu', sounding like something along the lines of ¡®Dog Oil Road¡¯. What¡¯s more interesting than it¡¯s location or name, however, is what¡¯s there - on it sits the newly opened Yunnan restaurant Lost Heaven ¨C Yunnan Folk Cuisine Shanghai'.
The opening last Thursday (Oct 19th) saw the usual army or Shanghai¡¯s media, freeloaders and socialites. Not knowing much about Yunnan cuisine, the tastes were something of a close resemblance to Thai and Tibetan dishes. We were actually so delighted with the flavours that we felt obliged to go back for more the following day. The staff was attentive and -surprise- even went as far as to suggest some dishes to our table. The Curry Chicken was wonderful, closely resembling a Vietnamese curry with generous chunks of lemon grass, ginger and garlic amongst the many spices that went into the dish. I am now officially a raving fan of Yunnan Cuisine ¨C Lost Heaven is a restaurant well worth returning to. Main Dishes are around 60rmb per dish. Lunch for 3 came to a total of 270rmb.
