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


This past weekend, Starling, a diner by Magpie had their soft opening. It’s a nostalgic, whimsical space and probably the only diner in Shenzhen right now. So go on, grab your friends and indulge in some burgers, pancakes, waffles and milkshakes. For the afterhour partiers, the location is where Miami used to be (near Shuiwan station).

Have you tried the delicious protein shakes at Lazy Laowai? In addition to the options on the menu you can also customize your own shake. We personally love the chocolate protein shake.
