🇧🇷 New Chinese food-Song Qi
🌟 The Splurge-Worthy Standouts Wagyu Fried Rice with Truffle (Yes, Really) Creamy Japanese rice mixed with melt-in-your-mouth wagyu, then topped with shaved black truffle (R$30/g). 💰 We added 8g, making this the priciest dish—but worth it for the umami bomb. 🤤 Pro tip: Ask for extra truffle oil if you’re feeling decadent. Sweet-Sour Stars: Shrimp vs. Pork Malt Lemon Shrimp: Plump prawns in a tangy malt syrup glaze, served with candied lemon peel. 🍤 Refreshingly light! Sweet-Sour Black Pork: Think upscale —tender pork belly in a sticky-sweet sauce, gone in 60 seconds flat. 🐷💨 Order this over the shrimp, trust us. Lobster Dumplings with a Twist Similar to dim sum shrimp dumplings, but wrappers are softer and starchier. 🦞 Served with three dips: garlic chili, mild chili, and sweet-sour—play around with combos for max flavor. 🤔 The Fusion Finesse (and Fumbles) When Chinese Meets Western Sensibilities: Dishes lack that "wok hei" smokiness—think precise plating over homey comfort. 🥢 The black truffle fried rice is a prime example: delicious, but feels more like a French-Chinese hybrid. Portion Sizes: Style Over Substance? Mains are artfully plated but small—we needed a post-meal egg fried rice run. 🍚 Great for sharing, not so much for solo eaters with big appetites. 💼 Who Should Dine Here (and Why) ✅ Business Dinners & Fancy Dates: Impress Brazilian clients with upscale Chinese aesthetics. 👔 Instagram-worthy decor (hello, lantern-lit corners). 📸 ❌ Traditional Chinese Food Purists: Don’t come expecting authentic mapo tofu or kung pao chicken. 🥡 The "modern" twist might leave you missing home-cooked flavors. 💰 Final Take: Worth a One-Time Splurge The verdict? Song Qi nails ambiance and premium ingredients, but falls short on delivering soulful Chinese comfort. Go if you’re curious about "Chinese food for Western palates"—just don’t bring your grandma who craves classic flavors. 🌟 #SaoPauloChinese #ModernFusionCuisine #BrazilianFoodie #UpscaleDiningSP #ChineseRestaurantReview
