      Bali Laguna was one of the first restaurants of its kind in Shanghai. The menu here consists of your standard Indonesian fare like nasi goreng, satays, and aromatic curries. Over the years, the menu has gotten a bit tired. However, its location overlooking a pond in Jing'an Park still manages to put people in seats.

      F.C.C. -- the "Foreign Correspondents Club" -- is also known as Club Vietnam, which hints a bit more at its direction. It's a lovely and sprawling old villa that made a splash with its upscale, modern interpretations of Vietnamese dishes when it opened a few years ago, but has since slipped into mediocrity and become marginalized. Nice terrace, though.

      Swank nouveau-Chinese fashion brand invests a little social capital and a lot of nouveau-Chinese decor (reappropriated bird cages; garish silks) into an upscale Chinese restaurant ("Cafe" is misleading). Menu designed by Jereme Leung, who once upon a time was the chef of Whampoa Club, and these days consults on a wide range of restaurants across Asia. Very fashion.

      The general agreement is that Simply Thai is just okay. Slightly pricey, the food tastes average, looks average, and is sized average. Service is slow and not particularly helpful. Admittedly, the good experiences at Simply Thai outnumber the bad, so it is worth a shot-- the result ultimately depends on the kind of day they're having.

      Naam Thai is a stylish, design-y Thai bright spot in Jianguo's Lu otherwise deserted Loft project. Regardless, it dishes up faithful and refined versions of Thai classics in a mod environment, with a small but interesting wine list -- no surprise, really, as Naam Thai is the personal project of Walter Zahner, longtime manager of Xintiandi's sleek T8.
