week round-up...

shanghai experienced its best and its worst last week, weather wise that is.

On thursday, Shanghai snowed. Actually it snowed a couple of times before but the snowflakes were really bigger this time. It was gorgeous... i was in wonderland. Everyone walking along the streets seem to have a smile plastered across their face... China is polite when it snows.

However, on fri, sat, sun, i also experienced some of the most dreary days in shanghai. The sky is gray, the roads are constantly flooded, our coats are always damp, and taxis are super hard to find.

STILL, it was a productive week, depending on how u define productive.

Travelling (Beijing)
I was in Beijing Mon-Tue on business. i was "lucky" enough to meet the coldest day of the year. Minus 10. Brrr...

Gossip Girl (MUST WATCH)
I watched the entire season of Gossip Girl, thanks to Vika's recommendation. I love love love it... Its like a never ending chick flick. Brainless, cute actors, nice clothes, cool music. All i can ask for... Its from the creators of OC, so tht means i'm gonna soon buy up 6 seasons of OC and watch them all.



FOOD (Tian Jia, Japanese)
U know a restaurant is there when there are only 2 items on the menu (like how In and Out only serves cheeseburger and hamburger). THere's tuna, and there's crab.

Left to Right, Otoro (fatty tuna belly), Meguro (fatless tuna, wht we are normally served), and Combo (combi of Otoro and Megur0). Its the freshest tuna shanghai will ever see.


There's also a special item on the menu, scorched tuna sushi... they heat up the Otoro with a torch in front of u and u eat it immediately. Yum.. *salivate*

380RMB per set, but it feeds 2 pax nicely. I will recommend this place to all sashimi lovers.


SHOPPING

I also got myself a new pair of shoes!! Loook! Its 4 inches high, i'm so gonna tower over les... But its OKAY, his confidence will match up to my heels i'm sure.

COOKING

Lester decided that he wants to bring the boys home for dinner. so i whipped up dinner with the wonderful help of kimsoon (he made all the delicious stuff i just made the mess).

Menu

1. Shepherd's pie
2. Chicken Wings
3. Butter Salted Veggies
4. Pasta Vongole**** (yum from kimsoon)
5. Grounded Mushroom soup
6. Sara Lee Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

What a great way to end off the week. =)
