Where to eat when in Shanghai?: South Beauty

Good Food, good service, amazing views - those are what we've experienced in South Beauty.


It is located on the 10th floor of Super Brand Mall, Pudong Area. Ask for window seats so you can have a great view of the Huang Pu River and the Bund.  


A big container full of chilis greeted us at the reception. A warning for their spicy dishes? I guess so. But even if you're not a fan of them, they still have a lot of non-spicy dishes.

A serving tray for each table plus a waiter on stand-by at almost every table. This gave Jori an impression that our meal would be very expensive. Actually it wasn't, considering the location and the service. We spent around 2,100 - 2,400 PHP for the both of us.


We asked for their recommended dishes and the waiter pointed out this dish to us.
Thin pork slices with vegetables, served with soy sauce and chili. 


And so the battle with the chopsticks began! :) To eat this, you need to place the pork on the plate, put some vegetables on top, roll the pork (similar to rolling a lumpia), then dip it on both soy sauce and chili sauce. Yum!


Sichuan Chicken. Nothing unusual. 


We were supposed to order plain rice but it wasn't on the menu. The waiter doesn't understand English and we can't find the Mandarin translation for plain rice. So we had no choice but to order their 68 CNY (about 460 PHP) fried rice in lotus leaf. We didn't regret it since it was flavorful and serving size was very generous.


Overall, I think South Beauty is one of the best restaurants in Pudong Area where you can enjoy both the food and the view. To fully enjoy the scenery, it is best to go there on dinnertime, when the buildings on the Bund are all lighted up.
