Dessert Trip@ Shanghai

It is a Saturday afternoon where I met up with my GIP mates. We brought Melvin’s friend, Maxwell to walk around Wujiao Plaza (五角场) at Yang Pu District (杨浦区) to do some shopping for IT products. I am not so into IT so I am merely accompanying them to walk around the place.

We walked into this 塘皇甜品at 万达广场to have some desserts. Everything is pretty cool until the waitress processed a wrong order but the matter has been resolved quickly until I demanded my 汤圆核桃糊

The dumplings are delicious but the 核桃糊is too sweet and dry perhaps it is because the local like to eat very sweet dessert. I paid 16RMB (about S$3) for汤圆核桃糊.

I have uploaded more shanghai photos. You can access more china photos of mine here.

Meet up with Wei Yi

When Wei Yi reached back Shanghai after spending her Chinese new year in Singapore, we met up and arranged for a lunch meeting at El Willy Restaurant. It is located at some hidden place near Dong Hu Road. The restaurant is surrounded by a small garden beautified by small pots of plants and flowers and it gives a very “secluded” feeling which explains why it took us some time to find it.

I ordered a plate of sphatti with minced beef and the price is quite steep. It costs me 48RMB for that plate of sphatti and I have enjoyed the meal given the good ambiance of the place.

Besides the restaurant, a well-decorated garden with a Japanese board caught our attention. It is a small gift shop but i believe it is run by Japanese. The shop is filled with small little boxes. It shared the concept of Pandora Box in Singapore whereby they allow businesses to put their products for sales in the store. The name of the store is 牛心。

Wei Yi, like other women, was happily looking for her apparels and accessories in the store.

My Nanjing Trip

I spent my first Chinese New Year overseas at Nanjing, China. Fortunately, I have a friend in Nanjing who can bring me around some of the Nanjing renowned places for the next few days. I took some photos and videos when I was on the trip to 中山陵 and 灵谷塔. Both places signify the sacrifices made for KMT (国民党).

CNY Fireworks for 4 hours!

Firework in Shanghai for 4 hours in Chinese New Year Eve! I took a short clip from my Shanghai home.

A beyond - expectation movie but good Singapore food in Shanghai!

Haha, this is the first blog in Shanghai. I went to watch CJ7 today at 国泰 cinema at淮海路. I have been looking forward for this show for the past 1 year so I pretty excited to watch this show.

I supposed to meet Wei Yi, my schoolmate who is also serving in the same attachment company as mine at the metro station for the movie. However, I was late and I actually fell when I was rushing down from the staircase; probably due to the snowy floor and the poor friction of my shoes.

As for the movie, I don’t think it is a comedy movie. The movie is narrating the relationship between a poor family and ET more like a warm and heartening show. If you are expecting a lot of ridicules and funny actions as in Shaolin Soccer and Kunghu Hustle, you might be disappointed.

The story revolves around a child who had a special encounter with an ET. Stephen chow is more like a very big EXTRA in the show but I think this is what he is going to do in his subsequent movie in the future. Overall, this movie does not meet my expectation but it has surprised me in another way. It is still worth the money to watch this show as you can observe that Stephen Chow is changing his style of filming.


Here’s the trailer. You may find some familiar scene of Shaolin Soccer and Kunghu Hustle




After work, I went dinner at 鼎泰丰 at 新天地. As I was alone, I only order a plate of fried rice with prawn (虾仁蛋饭) and 2 sesame buns（芝麻大包）. I went to 鼎泰丰 before in Singapore and I didn’t have high expectation of the food. Ironically, 鼎泰丰 in新天地 seem to taste nicer than in Singapore. Also, the service is much better. Unlike other restaurants in Shanghai, the waitresses are more polite and more attentive on what the customers want.

虾仁蛋饭



芝麻大包


Price wise? You won’t see a big difference as compared to Singapore probably because it is located at新天地广场 which is a premier place in Shanghai. 虾仁蛋饭 costs about 42 RMB and芝麻大包 (2 X) cost about 20RMB.
