Just before we went back to Malaysia for our month-long holiday, we played hosts to 2 special guests from Malaysia... Mah-mah and Koo-koo, who came over for a 10-day visit. Although we were still not very familiar with the city and the places of interests in Shanghai, we managed to bring them to some of the famous and must-go tourist attractions like The Bund, Nanjing Road, Yu Yuan Garden, Xintiandi and Qibao ancient town.
Here are some photos of our "revisited" places with Mah-mah and Koo-koo. We hope they had an enjoyable stay with us although on some days, we just stayed at home and did nothing :p
We took the City Sightseeing bus for the first time with them... It was a convenient way to see the city without too much walking (ideal for Mah-mah, who couldn't walk far).
It was a hop-on-hop-off bus and every time we boarded the bus, I would dash to the upper deck to enjoy a better view :)

A striped puppy?
Bought some crayfish to try... and of course we also brought them to try out many other local food around town
Loved this HUGE 1000cc (1 litre) chocolate pudding drink *slurp*
Am I the first one to comment here? Anyway, I just want to say, Chloe is a happy girl where ever she is, because she has a very wonderful family.

The striped puppy is dyed la, I think. Dunno whether they are for sale or not but the man asked for RMB10 for taking the pups' photos. We buat tak tau and quickly walked away haha.
DeleteAre they really serving giant dumpling soup?
ReplyDeleteHaha...like to see Chloe's expression.
Actually yes, they do sell XL soup dumplings but not as huge as the fake one la...you can see it in the background with 2 straws ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, so much to see and do. BTW, is that striped puppy really born with stripes or painted on? Well, Chinese would do anything right? hehehehe
ReplyDeleteThe stripes on the puppy is most probably painted on...looks kinda fake to me although very nicely done hehe. Cute, right? :)
