I would rcommend you to try the Root 1 Carmenere. Due to reasons we all know, imported wines are more expensive in China than that of most other countries. However we can still find some decent wines selling at reasonable prices. Root 1 Carmenere is one of these. Richly flavored but smooth, ideal to go with our pasta, vegetable soup, or medium cooked Rib eye.

Come to our restaurant, order a cup of root 1. Share your rviews with me.

PostSubject: Deep Purple - a review   Deep Purple Cafe, Bar, and Restaurat------Deep Purple Daily Promotion 2013 Aug 6 update EmptyMon Sep 24, 2012 11:19 pm

On a Monday night I decided to give Deep Purple a try.

The map is straight forward, impossible to miss it.

The design is just mind-boggling. Cost were not an issue creating this building, apparently. Having said that, this is a design with distinctly Japanese features. Brilliant and beautiful. The interior matches and blends perfectly. It is essentially a bar-cafe-restaurant-lounge-karaoke, tasteful and spacious. In short, I like it.

The service was attentive, friendly and competent.

The menu, however, was not inspiring. It is a more or less direct copy of Casa Mia. The wine selection is disappointing, considering the wide variety of wines available in Changshu.

As ever, I ordered the burger, a bacon burger to be precise (for the record, I never had a burger at Casa Mia because they got me hooked on the 402 pizza ever since day one). In my experience, if the burger is right, they can do the other dishes also well. As a starter I had a dish "beef slices with truffle oil", which I hoped would be something like carpaccio.

Owing to the slim wine selection, I opted for the Chilean strawberry bubbly, which was really good, not too sweet, not watery, served nicely cooled, just right. I have to warn, though, that 2 glasses of this are the maximum one should drink, as I had trouble unlocking my bicycle after.

The carpaccio turned out to be lightly broiled - superb - beef, just melting on your tongue, however, it was draped over some boring vegetables and some oil that had no truffle flavor at all. I would recommend changing the recipe, going rather for rugola salad leaves and do away with the veggies.

The burger was magnificent, thoroughly excellent. It came on a pre-heated plate, with just the right amount of crunchy, excellent french fries.

With the burger I had my second glass of Chilean strawberry bubbly, which resulted in the aforementioned kind of non-destructive lobotomy.

The bill came to RMB 226 or so, which, considering the venue and the quality, was adequate.

I am grateful for someone putting this great place into Changshu. It must be someone with deep pockets and a defunct calculator, because I do not see how this place could ever be profitable, considering the huge investment. Or it is a money laundry, which can also be. My recommendation would be to have a new menu that commensurates with the splendid design.

As Arnold used to say: I'll be back.

I had a try last weekend as commended, the Root 1 Carmenere wine is good which matches the typical characteristics of new world wines. It is full - bodied with chewy tannins and nose of black fruit, especially lively. I bet the owner must know the carmenere is the star grape in Chilly.

Filet is not bad. Especially with wines, it is tasteful .

One suggestion that maybe some more other kinds of food can be supplied rather than only pure westen style. That will make more native customers come.

I'll be back next weekend.

For a possible new menu, I would suggest to go for a kind of an Asian fusion mix, with particular attention to ingredients being available locally, permanently, organic where possible (and mark the truly organic dishes on the menu - women love that).

Simplicity 'plus alfa', i.e. Malay (beef rendang), Singapore (take your pick), Vietnam (spring rolls, simple and delicious), Japan (maki), China (some Changshu 农家 favourites), western you have covered with the steaks, reduce pizzas to max 3 incl. 1 vegetarian, salads I would have the standard cesar with/out chicken strips, one Japanese style beef salad (I know you hate them, but they sure know how to cook), one german style cucumber salad (look up on the internet, simple, delicious and refreshing), french fish soup, tomato cream soup, minestrone, one Chinese soup (Changshu), steamed fish......etc.

Fingerfood for bar/lounge area.

You need one signature main course.........think hard. Ultimately, your clients will come from the snail-speed progressing Shimao opposite. May be a fusion fondue, making use of your beef?

The most important thing is that the recipes are straight and simple. Chefs do walk out, good chefs are hard to come by and training of new ones should be made as easy as possible. This way you can maintain quality.

I do not know about you, but in my world restaurants make money with drinks, not food. The wine selection needs to be expanded. Include the Shanxi Grace wine, if you can. Award-winning and delicious. have some mocktails. Also here, keep it straight and simple, so the screw-up potential remains low. Chinese high-rollers like the RMB 2000/bottle plus ones, simply because they are expensive. Have 1-2 of them.

I will keep thinking.

We dont have deep pockets but i guess you were right about the disfunct calculator. Deep Purple has a small shareholders team. None of us has any experience in managing a restaurant let lone a restaurant serving western food. We do this simply becasue we believe Changshu, given its relatively better off living standard and its increasing numbers of western citizens, deserves (or is able to afford) a better place to drink, to get fed, to gather, to have fun, or to day dream in a lazy afternoon with a cup of coffee.

Your article/review came right in time when we decided to redo the menu in the hope of attracting more local patrons (yeah, lesson was learned the hard way). Your suggestions are in general about the same direction where we are heading to, though i doubt if we can do all this in the next edition of the menu (target to launch Oct 9). if not, pls be patient, i'm sure there will be a 3'rd one.

Come again, sooner is better:)

What you have created there is world-class design, just great. You will be hard-pressed to find something like this elsewhere in the region (there is one place in Jiangyin, that comes close). On top of that you have the such polite and competent staff. A real good asset.

All this comes at a price. Trouble is the mindset of customers in the east China region. In Beijing customers are ready to pay for quality, in east China including Shanghai this still has to grow. Shanghainese are the worst: They want everything and they want to pay nothing, and they complain endlessly. They can hold on to a cup of coffee for hours. Customer-wise the worst thinkable. If you look at successful places in Shanghai and let them guide you, you may have a winner here too, as Changshu people are much more easy-going and gentle.

One place that comes to mind is 鼎泰富. They are ridiculously successful. Element Fresh are doing so-so, same as Vagas, i would not totally recommend them as role model.

It is in fact a confusion in the mind of a lot of people a "website" that they are looking at, than a "forum", on which you participate ...

Many things happen in town, but few do share indeed ...

Thanks to the forum's Humble Narrator for his time ...

Well, again I take Shanghai as a point of reference. I know one large literary cafe on Shaoxing Road and another one on Changde Road.

Trouble is, that people who read do not consume much. Also, books of several hundred pages can not be read in a cafe/restaurant-reasonable time. Popular books and magazines will be stolen instantly, in my experience. It does draw some crowd, which does not necessarily have the means to pay your prices. In Shanghai in summer and winter, McDonalds, KFC & Co are full with students who consume close to nothing, but do their homework there for hours, because of free aircon and free heating.

If you introduce student discounts, they will drag all their aged relatives along and order for them, too, which may lead to unpleasant arguments between guests and staff.

WLAN is a another revenue-death-trap. If you offer it, you should consider to set your router to only allow 1 hour of connection/day per device. I have seen people several times screaming in a cafe while on Skype/QQ, not giving a damn about other customers. All you can do then is pulling the plug of the router...

What is a definite 'pull', though, are blanket discounts for the odd times of the day and a happy hour (get one, pay two...hehe) from - say- 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. during workdays and Fridays.

A discounted set lunch menu also usually works well, as an alternative to lousy company canteen food. I might even do the ride for 35 minutes from my office.

We can also try to have the next linked-in drink-out at your place.

Hi Matt, welcome, anytime, you have my mobile. I am always around on weekends.

We are doing final touches to a whole new menu, not only add the above Asian specialites but also provide more local favoriate dishes/drinks. And, reluctantly but I'm sure you will love it, lowered pricing for about 25% of the items on the menu, without sacrificing quality/service.

We will launch the new menu in two stages, first, by this Saturday/Sunday, release a simplified version, without photos; then in about 2 weeks, release the formal version, with photos and maybe further adjustments.

Come and see it for yourself, hah. So much fun in runing restaurant...
