    • Here’s the low-down on the latest action-

      The Beef:

      Have you ever thought to yourself, I just want a nice home-cooked Portuguese meal in Shanghai?

      If your answer is no, that’s probably bc you’ve never been to Viva!! (yes, double exclamation…the first one is part of the name so I’m only singly-!-shouting).

      Preface: My first (and what I swore to be my last) Portuguese meal in Asia was a distantly unpleasant memory – in Macau where the food was overly salted yet managed to be bland (boring) at the same time. Extremely unimpressed. But this place has since reversed my distaste.

      In Shanghai, the F&B competition is fierce, which is generally a good thing for diners, because it ups the bar on quality, service, the works. Yet, the fact is that even though there don’t seem to be many other contenders for Portuguese cuisine here, Viva! really does deserve that exclamation mark. The proof is in the Dianping with a near 5-star rating although we discovered it though a highly enthusiastic WOM (word of mouth) from friends.

      Highly recommended dishes: 1) Burrata Cheese salad w/roasted eggplant – a wow! dish I’d order every time. Less a “green salad” than a “cold dish”, the creaminess of the burrata perfectly complemented the balsamic tangy roasted eggplant. Amazeballs. 2) Stuffed baby squid with ink dish (not exact name) – you won’t stop once you pop one of these into your mouth. Just don’t scare anyone when flashing your ink-black smile.

      The Gang: A rather measly crowd on a Wednesday evening, but stimes a quiet night out is just what you need in this city.  

      The Damage: Happy hour deals from 5-8pm. We barely missed it. In the end, dinner & dessert plus a reasonably priced bottle of wine for two: Approx. 700RMB. You could also just as easily get away with a 150RMB/person bill depending on what you order.

      The Down n’ Dirty: Pretty clean, in light of the number of patrons :)
