weekends in pudong-puxi

Saturday
We got up early and went to Pudong with Elvis' colleague to do some stuffs. After that, we wanted to go to Super Brand Mall 正大广场 for lunch but we took a wrong turn (towards the tunnel), so we decided to go back to Puxi and head to XTD Afternoon Tea for lunch instead. Ann called us at the same time, so we arranged to meet at AT. Haha... We're always doing late lunches together!
(Super Brand Mall is somewhat the biggest/newest mall in Pudong. We've only been there a few times coz we're mostly in Puxi.)

XinTianDi was crowded! The weather was so lovely everyone was out of the house! It looked very much like the cafes in Paris! People just enjoyed the sun! Look at the photos of the AT pastries i took while waiting for our seats! Looks very yummy, right? That's why i can eat it every week! ;)
(Their set meal of Food + Drink + Sweets/Cake is ¥88. For ¥100, you get to choose a soup too! Everyday till 6pm.)

Ann said she also thought of going to Super Brand Mall...so we took a taxi there. We shop, shop, shop... The Uniqlo store there is very huge!
(Uniqlo UT kids-sized tees SALE! Only ¥59 each. Usual ¥79. Keke... Too bad they're too big for Joel. Smallest size is 100 Japanese size. I can fit their size 140/150 so i bought 2 kids tees for myself!)

We went back to Puxi JinXian Road 进䝨路 to continue shopping and have late dinner/supper at 10pm...then home. So tired after the 1 day Shanghai Pudong/Puxi tour! ;p
(I've blogged about JinXian Road before here. It's also small shops similar to ChangLe Road. There's some antique shops there too. But JinXian Road is a very short street.)

Sunday
We went to Joel's play class at Gymboree then we had tea-break at Wagas. I've always wanted to try their food...but Elvis says it's not good. Lots of angmohs go there the whole day. Actually, their cakes are also not superb and over-priced. ¥20-25 for a very tiny slice. I still very much prefer AT's pastries/cakes.

After that, we headed to Pudong again to do some stuffs. For dinner, we met our Japanese/American, Singaporean, Shanghainese friends for dinner at Daikichi 大吉 at GuBei district (TaoHong/GuYang Roads). It's a very small restaurant with ALL Japanese customers. Most of the food are skewered, so we ordered a lot to share! Super yummy! I like it! Hope to go back again next time.

Then it was time to go home after another long day...
(The restaurant was packed when we arrived. Need to make reservations. We stayed till after 10pm, so when i took these pictures, there wasnt many people left in the restaurant)

P.S. O ya, we let Joel wear his 3-6mths Zara checks shirt and it still fits!!! Though tight-fit lah. He wore them when he was 1 month old during CNY 2008. And his 3-6 mths pants fit well too! Length is just nice! Hahaha... ;p
