SHANGHAI NOON! Part III

Guess where are we? We are in Shanghai! Which part of it??? A clue given from my fingers... X stands for? XINTIAN DI! Erm... not very impressed with it. A few eateries... not very happening lei. I like this pic... althou I can't remember what was I smiling at. haha.... Finally we found somewhere decent to drink coffee. Paul - a french cafe. Bon appetit!My latte and croissant... the latte is yummy You can see the "it's yummy" look yah? haha... it was just shiok. sitting al fresco and sipping my coffee in such cool weather. Of course there's a warmer beside us....Self-shot of us....A street shot.a pic at an alley in Xintiandi. lotsa pple takes pic here. so here I am!This area is call Cheng huang miao lao jie where there's the super famous Nan Xiang xiaolong bao. Wa pian! The queue is super duper long. I have not seen such a long Q in SG for food before. Tot Singaporeans are already super kiasu.Our wonderful tour guide bought the xiaolongbao for us. It is yummy! touched sia... Before it got dark, we walked around and saw an Empress Dowager. Spot it?? =P Jinmao Da Sha (Grant Hyatt Hotel) gg up 88 observation deck to view Shanghai.It was opened by Jiang Ze Min in 1999.But alas, the only view from above is the Pearl Tower opposite. due to the drizzle and cold weather (fogging). disappointing man....So took a picture with the "picture" with wallpaper instead.
Our last day in shanghai. took a train to Jinmao Da Sha area again. We gg to the Grand Hyatt lounge. Walking past the Pearl Tower as we walked from LuJiaZui mrt station to Grand Hyatt.
In Grand Hyatt hotel.... To get to Cloud 9 (the lounge at 87th floor). 1st, must find the lift to the hotel lobby at 54 storey. Then find the other lift that takes you to 87th floor...Finally reached CLOUD 9!!! It's a recommended must-go place for me in Shanghai!
Their menu... we ordered latte and finger food.

US at the lounge. The view is really great.. At least much better than the 88th observatory tower the other day....I was so busy taking pictures at the scenary after ordering our food..and the sofa was very comfy.
That is the Pearl tower and Shanghai city....
This is Huangpu river.... it is also the Pudong area. said to be China's best fengshui place. China became prosperous after developing this Pudong area. That's when Shanghai becomes the fastest developing city in China.
Another shot....Oh ya, that's my chicken wings.... honey wings with sesame.Another shopping place in Shanghai. Nanjing bu xing jie.... lotsa shopping centers and big snack shops!
Taken at Ajisen ramen. There's lotsa Ajisen there. but I thank god for that. cos it was my comfort food for the last 2 days. This and MacDonalds. Their nightscenes....
The biggest coca-cola I've ever seen!


Me in Shanghai street! with my new boots!
The neon billboards.... hubby likes it alot and took lotsa pic....
A super funny signboard in their shopping center. Look at their English description and see if you can make out what they mean in Chinese. We had a good laugh... pretty entertaining. so I quickly took a pic.
This is the train ride back to Pudong Airport. It's super fast. 300km/h. actually feel abit sad... sad to part with my tour-mates. they are really fun! But all things must come to an end yah? Ok, this is miscellaneous shot. Just to take a shot of my very pregnant belly. haha.... purposely stand sideway.
