Putuo District Moments: Through Travelers' Eyes

Post

It's super pretty and huge, located in Putuo District. Every shop has such unique decor and style—it's top-tier compared to your average Shanghai mall (excluding luxury malls, of course). This mall is perfect for dining and entertainment. There's a terrace on the 5th floor, and I took a lot of my photos there. The decor is elegant with a distinct international vibe. I love it and will definitely be coming back here to hang out and grab a bite.

📍 3rd Floor, Global Harbor, Putuo District. 4–5 dishes, and 3 of us were stuffed! Average cost: RMB 50–80.
· ———————————
P2 [Sichuan-style roasted chicken] Sprinkled with cumin, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Many people don't like eating the skin, but this isn't greasy at all! Delicious! So fragrant!
· ———————————
P3 [Cheese waterfall spicy stir-fried chicken] Gooey cheese + rice cakes + chicken. So fragrant! It leans sweet and comes with crispy little bread. Compared to P2, these are two different flavor profiles. If you prefer savory, choose P2. Both have chicken, so you can pick one. (Personally, I think it's just average.)
· ———————————
P4 [Sea ling mushroom fried rice] The rice is fried to perfection, with each grain distinct, carrying the charred aroma of the stone pot and the savory freshness of the mushrooms. I couldn't stop eating it.
· ———————————
P5 [Sea worm and truffle mapo tofu] So delicious! The tofu is as tender and smooth as silk, and the rich sauce coats every piece. The soup is delicious enough to drink, too! My personal favorite!
· ——————————
P6 [Traditional bolognese] Delicious (savory, with a generous amount of meat sauce). My second favorite!
