WEEK 8

 
It's finally week 8! Labour day falls on week 8 - No work for us!! We wanted to go out on that day... However, it's a public holiday in China too. We were warned by our colleagues that it's better for us to stay in the hotel because everywhere will be very crowded. We went to yan chang lu ( a mini town near our hotel ) for dinner & dessert.
 
 
 The day before labour day, we went to a restaurant(Molokai) in french concession for cantonese cuisine! I found this restaurant on a website ( time out ) and the ratings for this restaurant were not bad! It was quite affordable for the quality of their dishes.
Afterwards, we went to captain bar to chill. Since it was a public holiday the next day, we didn't manage to get a seat on the rooftop. We found a seat inside the bar and we were not very pleased with it because it was very stuffy and we didn't manage to have a good view of the bund. Thankfully, the waitress was nice and she alerted us when there is an empty seat on the rooftop. Once we were on the rooftop, we get to have an amazing view of the lengendary The Bund. We ordered some drinks and chit chatted about our life, work and school...
 
 
On Friday, we went to eat 鸡公煲  with our colleagues. Basically, we were supposed to eat the chicken meat in a clay pot first. After that, the boss will add some soup into the clay pot and we can add other food we want into the clay pot. So basically, we are eating hotpot as well!
 
 
 
Sat - We woke up quite late on Saturday as we wanted to rest more. Afterwards, we went to cha can teng for xia wu cha. We walked around the area and we went to The Bund to enjoy the view again.
 
 
 
 
Sun -
We went to Jian Guo 328 on Sunday. "The homey Shanghai dishes are cooked with filtered water, quality oil and never any MSG. A few details distinguish this miniature dining room with a little lofted second floor from the average casual eatery, such as the framed glass window front and comfortable lighting instead of fluorescent tubes.
" This was written on the time out website. True enough, the food were incredible as well as the furnishing of the shop. Afterwards, we went to 田子方 for chocolate cake. Oh, who can resist chocolate cake for dessert?
