Chinawhite - A New Twist on Classic Chinese Food

Housed in a former Lotus car dealership, Chinawhite of Greenwich opened this past weekend.  The preview cocktail reception Saturday night was filled with endless servings of their new menu, a see-and-be-seen crowd and of course signature cocktails.  The large 'garage door' windows in the front and surrounding white walls gives this restaurant a feeling of openness and fills the guests with curiosity for what might appear next from the glass lined kitchen. 

Jody Pennette and the CB5 Group opened their first Chinawhite in Purchase, NY just a few weeks ago.  They're the group well known for Lolita of Greenwich and Boston, Red Lulu of South Norwalk and dozens of other boutique restaurant projects.

I indulged in many of the new menu items they were sampling which included General Tso's Fish, Vegetable Spring Rolls, Chicken Fried Rice, Crispy Vegetable Dumplings, Chicken Chow Fun, and my favorite, the Tangerine Beef.  The presentation was also impressive - many dishes arrived in classic white 'takeout' containers with chop sticks.
