Malaysian. Dead spicy. Fried carrot cake? Food Fusion is on the top floor of the Parkson department store at Huaihai Lu/Shaanxi Lu in Shanghai's French Concession. Who knew that department stores could have such great restaurants at the top of them? Note: Apparently Asia's department stores always have a fabulous restaurant or two at the top, according to my Dad.
Came across Food Fusion while on a hunt for lunch with two Canadians, we climbed the escalators all the way up the whole 8 floors, wondering if it was even worth it. But boy, it was. My mouth may have been flaming the whole time, but there was something about those chicken skewers with their peanut sauce, that really just made me a happy girl.
About the fried carrot cake, unfortunately I can't totally remember the details, but it's pretty much what you think it is. Seemed like a questionable thing to order, but my fellow diner was luckily set on trying it. If I can find a photo online I'll post it, because I don't think I'll be able to make it back for a third meal before I leave.
Ice Kacang: Sweet corn, red bean, coconut jelly, rose jelly, ice cream, possibly something I'm forgetting, all served on ice. It was definitely an interesting sensation that thing made my mouth endure... I question the use of corn in desserts, I don't think "sweet" should be taken so seriously in the name sweet corn. But, that said, overall is was damn good and even though I probably will never eat it again... I would recommend you try some.
Really upset that this new food concept didn't start three months ago. My Shanghai food stories would have bee far more interesting with visuals, and probably more accurate if I had written them day of.
