You gotta check out the Chinese restaurant in the Haiyatt Hotel on HongXing Lu (right by Chunxi Lu). It’s on top of Isetan so you can go inside there and take the elevator up to the 8th or 9th floor (can’t remember exactly, it will say in the elevator which floor the restaurants are on).
The restaurant serves Hong Kong style dishes and dim sum. Best Cantonese food I found in Chengdu, highly recommend it. And the price is not too exorbitant (definitely less than Gingko).
@JerryS, what the heck are you thinking by starting a forum thread comparing the owner of Le Sud to Lexington Steele (WTF?!). Your original post reeks of some weird kind of deep insecure jealousy. I happen to think Le Sud’s food is excellent and my experience with Julien is that he is always a very gracious host in his restaurant. And I am sure if he said something absurd like “I am legendary” he was definitely ‘taking the piss‘ (as Ray suggested).
Stop trying to speculate about his sex/dating life and focus on cultivating your own.

Hey bruce not lee…that was in fact me at XiongMao that helped you guys out. I guess I’m a pretty recognizable laowai with the glasses, haha.
When I was working at SOM back in San Francisco I was focusing primarily on the design of commercial office towers in the U.S. Here in China I’ve been working mainly on mixed-use developments usually with retail, office, residential and hospitality functions. Are you somehow involved in commercial real estate development?
I’m actually working with Charlie on a post right now for this site about all the new developments happening up and down DongDaJie…so keep an eye out for that. It’s pretty amazing all the stuff going up at the moment.
That is going to be a great project when completed…I can see it going up from my apartment. It was designed by the architecture firm I used to work for in America, SOM. They have rigorous standards with construction details, even with projects in China. Tishman also has a reputation for top quality commercial developments.
