Shanghai Day 1 (to be continued...)

hey guys, sorry for the long wait hee.. i'm finally blogging abt my Shanghai trip le! haha and pls bare with me cos other than beautiful structures it’s gonna be fOOD again!=)



at the airport.. and we gotta board the plane like any President! hehe.. Btw can anyone spot Justin? haha!



our hotel: Kaibo Express Hotel.. aniwae the acengy really cheated our money lor! It’s not like what he claimed near the 市中心 at all!


The vending machine at the lobby sells basically anything that u’ll need on a trip. We bought our map from this!


@ our hotel lobby.. marking out our hotel on the map!


me and ah rain basically slept throughout the whole journey to Shanghai.. and now even on their bus! hee..


and here we are @ 豫园 a.k.a 辰皇庙.


We had lunch at this restaurant.. do take a closer look at the menu! Isnt it cheap ?!!


Definitely a sumptuous, delicious and satisfying meal! (sorry to those who are already drooling!)



..and we didn’t have enough of 小笼包! there’s a Q just down the restaurant that we went to.. reason being: 16 for RMB10! Isn’t that dirt cheap?! and the best thing is it’s delicious!



Saw this paper cutting stall and we were all so attracted to the cute paper cuts!


The potential customers!


night @ 豫园



...and more of course!



Ah rain is eating this 包 that requires a straw to suck out the 汤汁! Sounds delicious huh! but it cant be suck out aniwae haha!! u wun noe how disappointed all of us were!



A group photo finally!



a night scene @ the Bund a.k.a 外滩..
It was raining so badly that there is really no one on the streets accept the 6 poor tourists haha


“Journey to meet Daphne”
All wet :( ! probably cant really tell from the pic. aniwae we were waiting for a ferry ride to “过海”, like in HK haha, to the Pudong, which is at other bank of the Huangpu River, to meet Ah Rain’s beloved friend, Daphne, who has also become our beloved friend during the trip!


She’s supposed to meet us at the sushi place called “Ben Sushi”, which is so ulu!!! and she’s late. We were all drenched and hungry! :(


Time to tuck in!


And dear friends, pls pardon me for all these photos of delicious food hee.. it’s really damn delicious! I really wanna share this with u guys! It’s so mouth-watering such that we die die wanna go back to eat again before flying back to HK! Can u imagine it? (haha)




笨仔SUSHI ROCKS TO THE MAX!

15 degree Celsius...

and i believe it'll get lower later at night!


so i gotta wear my boots out again! yeahs! both me and JC are so happy that the below 20 dC is back! but it'll onlybe back a for few days :(


a closer took! hee..


and my tee :( it's been stretched cos i hung it out to let it dry naturally.. who noes there was a heavy downpour yest. So now I gotta wash them again. Luckily the wind wasn’t too strong to blow my clothes off the strings. But still it’s caused my tee to stretch like this cos it was stuck to the peg :(


and without fail... food again! heart shape vegetable crackers from calbee!! yum yum!

13th March (just the day before i leave for my Shanghai trip): my cousin is here to pass me my RMB/CNY for my Shanghai trip! yeahs!


we had Ajisen! so yummy! and it's cheaper here than in Sg!!

Ocean Park Called Off...

..due to "strong wing" according to the staff there.. as it was drizzling in the morning. (12th March) haiz but nvm we decided to go for tim sum at Central first!!! Yummy!!



me, rain and an zai xu were early so we went to walk around first (actually the rest were sort of lost when they are supposed to bring us to the yum cha place hehe)





saw H&M.. their 1st outlet in ASIA!!!



see the Q? it's not even 10am! and it's not even open! gosh!


Finally at yum cha! it's a restaurant flooded with senior citizens!
and we had a hard time ordering food! Justin even has to enter the kitchen to order directly from the chef, a.k.a 师傅!


and JC is so happy with his 凤爪 hee..


...and ah rain and joy!


then to the movie at Admiralty... can u guess what are the 2 of us taking?


yeh! it's the toilet! i have to say that the toilet so cool that we cant stop taking photos even in the cubicles! the cubicles are so personalised with everything u will need!
