Zhang adds some much needed zing to Medellin's fairly tame line up of Chinese restaurants.
Where others are content to make do with a tacky souvenir or wall mounted photo to claim Chinese authenticity, Zhang embraces the new China with stylish furniture, dimmed lighting and electronic music.
Indeed, offering a slightly more adventurous menu than its competitors, Zhang seems geared towards foreign taste buds and the new, more cosmopolitan, face of Medellín.
The question remains as to whether Medellín is ready for such sophistication. Set in the exclusive San Fernando Plaza, Zhang often remains mysteriously scarce of customers at weekends.
Let's hope Medellín 2.0 arrives sooner rather than later to quench the thirst of Zhang and many other new ventures like it.
Note: Zhang is currently closed. |
