Any Gluten Free Restaurants / Stores In Shanghai Or Hong Kong?

[MegGFBoston]

I will be traveling on business for two weeks in April to Shanghai and Hong Kong. Does anyone know of any restaurants w/ gluten free choices in either of these cities? I've done some google and other searches but didn't come up with anything. I wasn't too hopeful to begin with - but wanted to put it out there in case someone had a suggestion. Thanks

I have been in Shanghai for a few weeks now. We are staying in an apartment in Pudong so we are doing most of our own cooking. There is a chain of specialty grocery stores called City Shop (Open Original Shared Link) that have an awesome selection of fresh fish, produce and other imported foods. The one I visit is in the Citigroup building in Pudong. Someone on the Shanghai gluten-free group mentioned that one of their stores carries gluten-free food but I'm not sure which one because I don't eat much bread, pasta, cookies, etc.

Also, here is the list of restaurants from the Shanghai gluten-free group:

Lost Heaven - Yunnan food, from southwest China. Generally does not use soy sauce in their dishes, and rice and potatoes are their main starch ingredients. Yummy too. Open Original Shared Link

Whampoa Club - upscale Chinese food, located on the Bund. Looks expensive. Can bring your own sauce sauce for them to use. Open Original Shared Link

La Verbena - Spanish food, located in Pudong. Open Original Shared Link

Mimosa Supper Club - not really familiar with this restaurant, or location, but supposed to have really good food.

I read somewhere that the Hilton makes gluten-free bread and can accomodate a gluten-free diet. I assume the other high-end hotels like the Hyatt, Shangri-La, Westin, etc. can as well.

Enjoy!
