*Shangri-la Hotel Gourmet One thing makes Shangri-la Hotel Gourmet stand out from its peers is that after 6 pm, all take-away snacks are 50 percent off. Chocolates here are all made of top quality cacao along with other top ingredients. The chocolates here aren’t just delicious to eat, but mesmerizing to the eye as well. Desserts here are in large portions. French croissants are big and fluffy, covered in thin almond slices. Muffins are also much larger than other gourmets, some with a whiff of coffee flavor. Walnut coarse flour bread is a dense one, due to the addition of raisins. Location: 1/F, Tower B, Shangri-la Hotel, No.33, Fuchenglu, Pudong Xinqu *Howard Johnson's Gourmet Howard Johnson features Belgium chocolates. Different from typical chocolates, Howard Johnson's chocolates are more create blends in tastes. Chefs add flavors like cappuccino, caramel, green tea, hazel, fennel and even some hot chilies. The most popular one is the passion berry chocolate. This passion berry confiture is enclosed in a milk chocolate shell. When biting into it, the fruity filling oozes out, bringing a unique flavor to the tastebuds. Location: Howard Johnson Hotel, No. 595, Jiujianglu, Huangpu District Edited by: Alice Yang
