Shenzhen Food & Drink Gossip: June 2018

The Scandalous Scoop is a regular feature where our editors share the latest food and drink gossip making the rounds in Shenzhen.

We’re digging:

Cattle calls from both Westwood and Kanpai Classic in the form of saliva-inducing steaks; Sea World’s Shark establishment opening back up after a license-related closure; the slow but sure rise of China’s craft brewers, from ginthusiasts to boutique bitter-makers (though all may not be well on the beer front)...

... and discovering a hidden lakeside dining gem in the heart of Shenzhen.

We’re done with:

Undignified, drunken – though definitely snicker-worthy – duels at a certain McDonald’s in the city; the sad, sad demise of former party hub/beer bar Dolores Park (oh, and Pepper’s The Box); and record temps during last week’s heatwave keeping us from the city’s choicest al fresco drinking and dining spots.
