Behind The Wall
May 9th, 2007 under Food (Nanda/Nanshida Area)
This is a cozy cafe along Shanghai Road, and has been around for quite abit already. The food and service is ok, but the best part about this place is the music they play in the evenings during the evenings. I’ve heard amazing cello, and also guitar as a side show here sometime after 9pm on weekend evenings (Friday & Saturdays).
How to find this place:
The key to finding these places is having a good map. Click on this map. On the map, look for Nanxiu Village 南秀村 [nan2xiu4cun1]. This is the name of a road, a small sloping road. Can you see a red star on the map? Nanxiu Village is the street on the left of the star. See it?
Behind the Wall is at the corner of Nanxiu Village and Shanghai Road.
If you are walking along Shanghai Road, in the direction from Guangzhou Road toward Hankou West Road, you’ll make a right into this lane. You’ll see this on your right…
And this on your left…
Walk up there and get some food. They serve Mexican food for the most part, but there’s other influences too e.g. the mediterranean decor…
This place was an utter disappointment.
We went there on a tuesday night. First of all, three items on their ten item menu were not available. We ended up ordering veggie fajitas, chicken quesadilla, steak quesadilla, and soft tacos. It was only after quite some time that the food came. The bean side of the quesadillas was obviously microwaved and still partially cold. We told the waiter and he took both dishes away to reheat them. Unfortunately, they just put the entire dish back into the microwave, which resulted in soggy quesadillas and boiled sour cream. In addition, the spanish rice side was completely forgotten and only arrived after we told the staff three times. By then, we had already ordered the bill. The soft tacos with carnitas were remarkably underwhelming. The meat was overcooked and the seasoning completely missing. The worst part of the evening was when we found the thumbnail sized stone in the vegetarian fajitas. We informed the waitress - she just shrugged and said, it was part of the iron plate the dish was served on. No further consequences or apologies were made. The bill came at about 75 RMB per person for food and drink (not particularly great either), which is very steep for the quality of the food and service. It was very disappointing that the staff did not bother to apologize for the mishaps or even to explain the situation. This place sucks!
