Stiller's Restaurant (Shanghai, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

Stefan Stiller was our radar screen ever since his days at Club Shanghai and Mimosa Supper Club but we never did get the chance to try his innovative cuisine there. We were glad that we finally did get that chance at his latest venture at the Cool Docks.

The Stiller's restaurant was located on the 7/F of Building 13 at the Cool Docks and it has a decent view of the Bund. Chef Stiller himself was on hand this night directing traffic in the open kitchen.

We ordered some of his signature dishes including the opera cake of foie gras and tuna variation (tuna three ways) along with other main dishes (ravioli, seabass etc) to share among the four of us. However, apart from the opera cake, the rest of them were rather disappointing. If it's any consolation, the presentation did score fairly high marks.

Perhaps we have set the bar a bit too high. Luckily for us though, Shanghai does have some new intriguing options. Next up, Mr and Mrs Bund.

The restaurant and cooking school are located on the
6th and 7th floor.
