eat and shop and eat again

Saturday, we decided to lunch at the PartyWorld HK "cha chan ting" again coz sooo yummy! (We're so boring huh) FuXing Garden is one of Shanghai most beautiful parks where people gather to fly kites, aunties & uncles dance together or just to sit around and watch...

This bread which we tried last time was very yummy (served with condensed milk) so we had to order it again! They dig out the inside of the bread, cut it into cubes, put it back in after lightly toasting it and dribble some condensed milk on it. Slurp! (I wonder if Singapore has this too)

O, and this char-siew is sooo yummy! (I can hardly find nice char-siew here in Shanghai)


After lunch, we went to HuaiHai Road to shop for a little while (H&M having Sale) ...then we had to rush to Joel's FIRST Gymboree class. We rushed there as quickly as we could! Maybe coz Joel didnt really warm up to the place, he was a bit clingy during the class. ;p

After that, we walked from HuaiHai Road to Elvis' fav street ChangLe Road...and finally to JingXian Road which is an up-and-coming street with interesting shops. Elvis shopping again lah... (Shake head)


I liked how old antique and curio shops are lined next to the modern & hip shops.

Here is a cute Xmas display inside b+ab store (from HK).

Dinner, we had Singapore food at Crossroads inside Parkson Dept Store at HuaiHai Road. Here's chicken curry, sambal kang-kong, chai-po egg and ngo-hiang... SHIOK!


This is our much-anticipated World's Greatest Buffet brunch at Westin Shanghai on Sunday! (See video in the post below. And they really kept serving the champagne. Free-flow! They even have caviar if you see the video.) There's all sorts of performance throughout the meal - Chinese & "non-Chinese" kinds (but you'll have to make reservations to request to sit near "The Stage"). There were also people folding animals & insects for kids using leaves right before their eyes! I was very amused...but they didnt come over to fold for Joel leh. ;(

There were A LOT of people!!! This expensive buffet brunch is really popular! They also have a lucky draw at 2pm and the waiters go around to ask for business cards. Since i dont have any, we could submit 2 of Elvis'.

I zoomed in to the food i LOVE - sashimi (lots of it), prawns, lobsters... Desserts and cakes are also one of my fav!

And guess what??? At 2pm they did a live lucky draw...and announced a couple of names...and Elvis won! Not bad for his 2 chances! The prize is a complimentary brunch (not valid this time lah). So we'll be back! ;)

We walked to the nearby Plaza 353 (a new mall) but it was quite disappointing. Only some better-known labels like Zara & Mango on Levels 1 & 2. The other shops on the higher levels are super boring. They also have a Toys R Us (a very small outlet), so we looked for some stuffs for Joel - a baby basketball and a drum set. We kinda had a hard time deciding on what to get...coz we didnt know what was good. The basketball set is his birthday cum Xmas gift! The drum set is very nice & cheap about S$30+ only. We will keep for later though (coz it's for 3yrs+). Both were pretty cheap coz got promo. Keke... It was raining and freezing when we left...so we went home to unload the stuffs and rest a while.

Dinner, we went back to PartyWorld "cha chan ting"! Haha... Really boring folks! ;p

We also dabao supper for Elvis' team who's still OT-ing in the office this entire weekend. Maybe Daddy feels bad that he has to work the past 2 weekends so he's spending more time with us this week. And i had a good time eating lobsters! Keke... ;)
