YY Cafe the only place to be, Lao Deng and Zhou Tiehai\knowing everyone knowing

Lao Deng is a friend of Wei Dong, who I met in 1998 upon my return from China in the East Village where I rendezvoused with his buddy Wang Peng to deliver some video equipment from Wang Gongxin Anyway twas a long long time ago. Everybody knows everyone else now especially Lao Deng, WeiDong's buddy and ex business partner. Everywhere I go he's there and knows the same people ... YY Cafe seems to have been lifted out of Amsterdam and plunked down on NanChang Lu in Shanghai without losing any accoutrement's, reek and vibe. Last night Zhou Tiehai and a large posse of post jewelery gallery opening goers saturated themselves with gin tonics and some fabulous wonton made with the same recipe as HK expat YY cafe owner Kenny's mom. Apparently the secret is in the meat to veggie ratio and a spot of sesame oil in the water. Kenny knows everyone and everyone else including God and runs one hell of a low key super cool joint. Zhou Tiehai as you all know is partnering with Pierre Huber of Art and Public to bring a super duper international art fair to Shanghai in September. Business is art and Art is business - Warholian Utopia is still alive and well
