Shanghai - Day 2

Uncle Yong will only join us for dinner today as he has got some business meetings so the day is for me to plan. We brought the kids to Nanjing walk in the morning, trying to find a local restaurant for breakfast.


We were lucky to find one that offered soupy noodle along with yummy side dishes suitable for the kids. Kelly was fascinated about the cold weather, she totally enjoyed it.


After breakfast, we took a train to Xiangyang market for shopping but was totally disappointed upon reaching. They used to be at an outdoor area where there were about 400 stalls selling almost everything but after moving indoor a few years ago to this current location, the feeling of the market us no longer there. It is now more like our Far East Shopping Centre. After walking for a while, the kids got tired and we took a train back to rest, of course not forgetting to get some snacks along the way.



For dinner, Uncle Yong brought us to this very nice Chinese restaurant named after 乾隆. The setting and service standard was superb. We had 热黄酒, super spicy beef, yummilicious soup, etc, we enjoyed this meal heartily.


After dinner, we stroll to Nanjing walk and upon Kelly's request, we took a train to the other end of the road where we settled down for another round of beer while the kids had hot chocolate, cake and popcorns.
