Cooking up culinary treats in Shanghai bistro

Anthony Chow and Joey Cheong might lack culinary training, but that did not stop them from carving out a successful restaurant business in Shanghai.

They are the co-owners of Bites and Bottle-O, a cozy 20-seater eatery tucked away on Danshui Road, a quiet lane adjacent to the bustling Huaihai Middle Road.

The bistro offers a comprehensive selection of tapas-style dishes from different cuisines around the world, including foie gras, cured gravlax, roasted pork belly, black garlic hummus and even scallion oil noodles, a local favorite. Bites and Bottle-O also has a well-curated wine selection, comprising labels from Australia and Europe.
