The first thunderstorms of the year are signaling summer’s end, and soon enough, it will be time to trade in wide-brimmed straw hats for durable rubber boots but these people aren’t letting a bit of drizzle drown the fun.
Take your picnic basket and blanket indoors with Shangri-La Plaza’s Gourmet Strip: the two-weekend food stop at their East Atrium featuring ultimate foodie favorites from participating restaurants representing the world’s cuisines as part of the shopping mall’s 25th anniversary festivities.
Craving for a steamy bowl of pho noodle soup to welcome the rainy season? Or is it an exciting new item in your go-to restaurant that looks pretty enticing? A visit to the Gourmet Strip shows that they’ll have it all. From classic crowd pleasers to sampler-sized portions of new offerings, diners shouldn’t expect to be satiated after just one, two and even three big bites.
