WeChat Wins of the Week: RMB300 vouchers for KABB

KABB

Doing a solid job supplying classic comfort food done right – including a very righteous brunch menu that’s been known to fix many a hangover – KABB’s three citywide branches have upped their game with a brand spanking new menu. 19 new dishes, including baked Norwegian salmon with wasabi sauce, spicy red curry shrimps, creamy truffle risotto and hand-made pappardelle with signature bolognese. Personally, we can’t wait to try their new buffalo wings during the week-day happy hour (buy one get one free on beer, house pours and wine 5-8pm). Try any new menu item and they’ll throw in a glass of Aussieres Rouge by DBR (Lafite) for RMB30. We're giving away a pair of RMB300 vouchers to KABB on WeChat.  For your chance to win, add ThatsShanghai or scan the QR code below.

Five Women Wearing the Same Dress

Best known for penning American Beauty and creating Six Feet Under and True Blood, Alan Ball’s roots actually lie in theater. East West Theater revives his uproarious 1993 Southern comedy where five unlikely bridesmaids are brought together for a wedding. Despite their different archetypes (rebel, housewife, klutz, church girl, free spirit), they share one thing in common – they can’t stand the bride. Throw in one bad-boy usher and a dash of wedding drama for what promises to be a hilarious and quick-witted show. David Johansson (Rosemary's BabyAlmost, Maine) directs with an ensemble that includes The Learned Ladies' Violet Mount and Jerome Mazet and Holiday Hitch's Cecilia Garcia. We have a pair of tickets to give away. Simply e-mail win@urbanatomy.com with the subject 'Five Women' by April 22. For more, check out our interview with Johansson.
