Why hello there reader! I know, I haven't posted. I know, you missed me... that was bound to happen. Anyway, since the last post I've had the
opportunity to dine at
Shang, owned by Top Chef Master
Susur Lee. It was good. Not great but consistent and good. The restaurant itself was perfect; located in the Thompson Hotel in the LES, decorated beautifully, and (alas!) the bartenders were
capable of making a fantastic
Pimm's Cup. However, the food........
Perhaps it was my fault. After weeks of watching Top Chef,
Susur was my favorite master chef. I spent hours wiki-stalking
Susur and his menus. I think my own anticipation may have gotten the best of my palate. With that said, I do have to commend
Susur on the thirteen ingredient Singapore Slaw.
I just wanted, well, more.
Maybe, I'll try it again. The food wasn't bad but I also felt I can get better noodles at
Ippudo.
Take what you want with this post, I choose to
neither rave nor rant.
