Shanghai this time of the year is a little quiet and will be quieter in the days to come. Many workers had left for home for the CNY season, traffic today is light everywhere.
Coming to Shanghai I cannot miss my favourite 小笼包 that I posted before I have to post again cos its really so delicious.
The usual mob
Kitchen
Diner
With pork only (13RMB - $2.80)
Pork and crab (27 RMB - $5.70)
Seaweed egg soup (4 RMB - 85 cents)

When one mention 新天地 XinTianDi bars and restaurants comes to mind not many know that there is a small man made lake beside those bars.
When it's not so cold around the lake is actually quite busy with many Shanghainese in their pajamas taking evening strolls and doing exercises there. I like walking around there.
Anyway it's bloody cold tonight because of strong wind so no one is sitting outside the bars
as for me I'm hiding inside CJW (Cigar, Jazz, Wine) all alone but with a nice bottle of Argentinian blend and some jazz and blues of course

Joe, I thought you hate jazz ?

On the contrary. Blues & jazz I like very much.
Hongqiao Highspeed Train Station
Had breakfast there this morning in the Yonghe Fastfood shop
Prices very reasonable
The train
Business Class
Business is higher than First Class and Second Class but is very expensive however there are another two classes one is top even more expensive than business class where you get a bed the other is the lowest call 站票 or standing ticket this one must try your luck if got seat can sit but if not then sit on floor la. I normally take First Class as business class is too expensive.

Yu Garden (城隍庙) CNY decoration

Beautiful horse
How this is very interesting - look closely looks like there is Asam and Eve (holding apple) and serpent and also a Christ like figure. This is really strange as what's this got to do with CNY.

Joe, itu siow long paus juicy dan sedap tak ?
Mentioned this restaurant before 滴水洞, a Hunan restaurant that I must visit whenever I'm in Shanghai. But htis time will post different dishes. Was there for late dinner last night
Eating alone so ordered only 1 cold dish, salted cold chicken - like the balanced and non overwhelming infusion of salt and chinese rice wine into the meat
Stir fry long beans and egg plant with Chinese ham - the ham made a whole lot different with fragrance of the ham and the occasional encounter with the small strips of ham will send you to heaven
Deep fried bullfrog legs with Hunan spices - it's so perfectly cooked that the meat just drops off the bones in your mouth while still maintaining the meat juices. The tinge of 麻辣 was perfectly executed without numbing your mouth.
Well this is a common dish 麻婆豆腐 - kudos to the chef again for making this dish not overwhelmingly numb to the mouth, another perfect execution
I like this dish but problem is its very fatty however I particularly like this 梅菜扣肉 in this restaurant as the meat selected is not too fatty.
Rice is served on a clay bowl
Beer lovers will like this place as they serve quite a few imported beers, Chinese beers are not my cuppa

Apple Shop at the end of Nanjing East Road's walking street (towards The Bund) - its always crowded, the staff are all very friendly
iPhone prices in China
iPad prices in China
There is a small stall in the middle of the walking street selling very nice pork buns the skin feels like our curry-puff texture they call it 月饼 really cannot understand why. You will not miss it as there's always a queue

Walk further down towards the start of the walking street there is a nice but simple noodle restaurant known as Shen Da Cheng (沈大成）http://www.shsdc.com.cn/
I had their signature beef noodle, I have the say the beef is really tender and just breaks apart in the mouth.
The 小笼包 is really good similar in taste to 佳家汤包 which I posted earlier above but it lost in the skin which is thicker

After having that 小笼包 in 佳家汤包 one must cross over to have 小杨's 生煎包. It's just directly across.
The kitchen
The plate of 4 pcs of 生煎包 (I turned over 1 pc to show how it look like below)
See how soupy and juicy inside is
Here is a video of how its done, enjoy
