A peacock on the Bund

Intriguing art, comfort food and clever cocktails combine in a welcome resurrection, as Glam becomes a hot newcomer, Xu Junqian reports in Shanghai.

If you've still been mourning last year's closure of Shanghai's Glamour Bar, take heart: the comfort food and hip alcohol at its "grown-up" successor, Glam, is ready to drown any lingering sorrow.

By cutting off the three letters of one of her once most iconic works, cuisine and culture pioneer Michelle Garnaut is hoping that the recently opened bar could carry on the genes of its "father": setting the tone of the nightlife scene of the Bund, if not Shanghai, with its nice selection of eats.
