"Chinese Classics"

Bazi introduces Shanghai Nights

By Leave a Comment

Sunday nights shouldn’t be humdrum, and now you have BAZI’s Shanghai Nights $10 Chinese Classics to look forward to! Have one last fling before you start your work week.  7 Chinese classics are available through the week but discounted only on Sundays.  Enjoy these favorite Chinese classics while you can, they can be paired with dishes from their a la carte menu which are all scrumptious or savored as is.  Drop by if you’re going to the beach, shopping in South Beach or want a good Chinese without MSG in beautiful surroundings!
Our favorites were spare ribs, they were tender and not slathered with sticky sweet sauce like most Chinese restaurants and Moo Shu Pork.

Mike Pirolo, Italian chef and owner, already famous for his restaurant, Macchialinia also on South Beach, is going full throttle with a complete Chinese menu and without MSG, yay.  Mike uses only grass fed beef and their chicken and pork are free range, non-gmo and antibiotic free! Wow, the only Chinese restaurant that caters to folks who are health conscious, thank you BAZI.

BAZI’s take on Chinese food is delightful, I’ve had their Thanksgiving dinner with Peking turkey. You can find out why an Italian Chef, Mike Pirolo and Jen Chaefsky decided to open a Chinese restaurant and why I chose BAZI to host my Chinese New Year celebrations here and here.

Lap Cheong Fried Rice, moist and very fluffy and eggy. In Asia, we judge a restaurant by its fried rice and Bazi made the cut!
