Tip 1: Shang Artisan Noodles

Our first stop is Shang Artisan Noodles, a must for lovers of authentic Chinese cuisine. Here you will not only encounter greats such as René Frank and the guys from Nobelhart & Schmutzig, but also handmade noodles served in delicious broths. The menu lives up to its promise - a culinary experience not to be missed.

Tip 2: Noodlehead

Continue on to Noodlehead, a street food-style restaurant that offers modern interpretations of classic noodle dishes from all over Asia. Whether ramen, pho or udon - everyone will find something to their taste here. The creative yet authentic cuisine makes Noodlehead a highlight on my list.

Tip 3: Shanghai Taste

Our last lunch spot is Shanghai Taste, famous for its first-class "Xiao Long Bao", the famous dim sums. These delicate dumplings are a real treat and an absolute must when you are in Las Vegas. The combination of first-class ingredients and masterful preparation makes every bite an experience.

Book tip of the week: Naturally vegan baking

European baking classics can also be mastered vegan

With “Naturally vegan baking”, Philip Khoury shows that vegan baked goods do not have to be sacrificed. On the contrary: his innovative recipes are based entirely on natural ingredients, without resorting to substitute products, and impress with their taste and quality. Whether it’s fluffy brioche, heavenly Sachertorte or creamy tiramisu – Khoury proves that European baking classics can also be masterfully made vegan.

We are particularly impressed by the way Philip Khoury shares his expertise. He not only explains the preparation step by step, but also the role of the ingredients used, such as olive oil or sweet potatoes in the dough. This scientific approach makes the book exciting not only for baking beginners, but also for experienced amateur bakers.

The additional QR codes, which lead directly to the author’s English-language baking videos, are a highlight. This practical addition ensures that more complex recipes are even easier to make. The high-quality design and exceptional photography also make the book a visual delight.
