Trueway

Contact:

• 6568-7196

City Weekend says:

Come here for the novelty of eating in a cinema-themed restaurant. The food isn't award-winning, but there are a few standouts such as Xing Yuan (??), an appetizer of fava bean paste drizzled with strawberry jam (suspicious-sounding but surprisingly tasty and perfect for dessert, actually) and A Fish Named Wanda, crispy-perch cooked in aluminum foil.

Tasty Taste

Where:
Contact:

• 6551-1506
• order@tastytaste.com.cn
• www.tastytaste.com.cn

City Weekend says:

This easy-to-overlook café lives up to its name with a divine range of tempting cheese cakes. Favorites include blueberry and coffee, but the great range of flavors calls for a sampling of all. But if you ask us, the ice cream and the Illy coffee are overpriced. A minimalist patio and great location bordering Worker's Stadium make Tasty Taste a great impromptu summertime patio haunt. Perfect for a late night dessert fix.

City Weekend says:

This delivery service brings nutritionally balanced lunchbox sets to those within 2 km of Jianwai SOHO. The food is edible and should satisfy plenty of CBD office workers, but the presentation and taste are both reminiscent of airplane food. LowCal Bento isn't recommend for picky eaters.

The chef's specialty at this Taiwanese restaurant is pigs' feet, a dish he's even won awards for. The trotters are fantastic, as is the chives and pork with soy bean sauce, but other dishes are more hit-or-miss. The bright red and white interior is a little sterile, but there's also a small outdoor dining area out front.
