Shanghai Food Experience: Eat with local

You've eaten at restaurants. Now eat at Chuan's kitchen table — a Shanghai designer whose cooking crosses Guangxi, Cantonese and Southeast Asian flavours in one unforgettable home-cooked meal.
Meet Chuan — Your Host

Chuan is a freelance designer based in Shanghai who has been hosting dinner parties at home for as long as she can remember. For years the guests were local friends. Now she's opening her table to international visitors — and bringing the same warmth, curiosity, and food she's always cooked.

What makes Chuan's kitchen different is the story on the plate. Her cooking blends Guangxi, Guangdong, and Southeast Asian influences — a culinary journey that doesn't fit neatly into any one regional category and tastes unlike anything you'll find in a Shanghai restaurant. Think sour-spicy tomato noodles with Thai basil alongside slow-braised beef brisket in clear broth. Familiar comfort and unexpected flavour in the same meal.

Sample Menu — Chuan's Signature Dishes

Guangxi Sour-Spicy Tomato Noodles with Thai Basil — bright, tangy, and unlike anything on a standard Shanghai menu

Slow-Braised Radish Beef Brisket in Clear Broth — deep comfort food with a clean, nourishing finish

Sizzling Chicken with Cantonese Clay Pot Magic — a classic technique elevated by Chuan's southern roots

Chuan's Signature Eggplant in Homemade Paste — the dish guests always ask about first
