Ricebox LA
When Kane Lim threw a fancy dinner party to celebrate his new apartment and his collaboration with Korean eyewear brand, Gentle Monster, he looked to contemporary Cantonese eatery Ricebox to curate the menu. The theme? Vegan dim sum and truffles.
The crew loved it so much that they had Ricebox cater the Bling Empire Season 2 premiere party. Husband and wife owners, Leo and Lydia Lee, went all out to create a special menu that featured one "bling" dish for each of the 12 cast members. Think caviar siu mai, gold leaf har gow and A5 wagyu beef yakitori to name a few.
Fun Fact: Ricebox was awarded 'Best Char Siu' in Los Angleles by the LA Times in its Best of LA 2020 roundup.
Bao Dim Sum House
The simmering tension between Christine Chiu and Anna Shay reaches a boiling point when they meet at Bao Dim Sum House, a Hong Kong-style dim sum spot, where they spilled the tea—quite literally.
Over a pot of tea, the series' favourite nemeses threw snarky comments and threats at each other. Not a single dumpling was ordered, which is a shame as judging from the restaurant's Instagram, the food looks pretty good.
