Itâs been described in a number of ways, accompanied by either a frown or a smile. âSpectacleâ and âPR gimmickâ being the most common. But I have to say after actually staying there for a night (a privileged standpoint, admittedly) that the work lends itself to more than jus...

Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant 南翔馒头店在上海的城隍庙九曲桥畔是家喻户晓的老字号。即使是刮着刺骨寒风的冬天，店外还是会见到长长人龙，就为了那热腾腾的小笼包。本地的南翔馒头店是获得特许经营权的海外加盟店，2005年在Bugis Junction设了第1家店之后，去年在City Square Mall开了第2家分... Ootoya 每次经过Orchard Central...老实说，真的有点冷清。最多人的地方就可能是8楼的那些餐馆。尤其是大户屋（Ootoya）日本餐馆，不管我什么时候来，它就是那么多人。 Ootoya专门提供现点现做...
