Another year, another That’s Shanghai Food & Drink Awards under our belt. And what a blast this year’s edition was. Held at M1NT last month, the annual debauchery to celebrate the best Shanghai has to offer in terms of food, drinks, nightlife and more food saw a handful of aficionados (we are looking at you, Mr. & Mrs. Bund, I Love Shanghai and Kelley Lee) re-claiming their crowns, but also a slew of new kids on the block kicking butt and taking names. Bull & Claw, Speak Low, Heyday, Union Trading Company – you guys might be young, but you’ve no doubt done wonders for our dining and boozing scene. We thank you all, from the bottom of our stomachs and the darker corners of our livers.
Our A Clockwork Orange-themed Cover Story, starting on p64, guides you through all the winners – a mammoth feat we’ve had a lot of fun putting together. We hope you’ll enjoy too.
Elsewhere in the magazine, That’s Beijing Deputy Editor Oscar Holland explores the recent sino-fication of the once uniquely British sport of snooker (p20), while yours truly meets and chats with the most dapper, hippest and stylish men in Shanghai (p36).
In the Arts section, Andrew Chin talks to none other than rock god Jon Bon Jovi ahead of his Shanghai gig on September 14 (p56), and Zoey Zha meets queen of China’s contemporary dance scene Wang Yuanyuan on p57. There’s also an interview with Muse you might want to check out (p54), and a round up of the shows you have to visit for Shanghai Art Week (p62).
Last but not least, Eat & Drink Editor Betty Richardson – our very own food darling, and the main woman behind our cover story – brings you the skinny on where you should eat, drink and party this month, from p82.
Before I leave you, I’d like to say a big thanks to culinary mavens Willy Trullas Moreno, Kim and Scott Melvin, Bina Yu and Austin Hu for being amazingly good sports in posing for our cover. Thanks also to photographer Nicky Almasy for capturing A Clockwork Orange, Shanghai style, so well, and to Kulou for kindly lending us their venue.
And so, until next time,
Marianna Cerini
Editor-in-Chief
