TMSK - Shanghai

I went to a place called Xin Tian Di in Shanghai with my colleague - Simon the last trip when I was there.
They even have their own webiste: http://www.xintiandi.com/chinese/landing.asp

In Xin Tian Di, there are alot of restaurants... the place actually reminds me of Singapore Clarke Quay. :)

After walking around, we decided to try this restaurant based on my mom's recommendation:

A restaurant call TMSK is the abbreviation of Tou Ming Si Kao, which literally means "Transparent Thinking".

The interior decor is mainly using alot of "liu li" as in man-made crystal.
Beautiful decor, impeccable service!
Gorgeous settings and fantastic display.
Of course all of these come with a price.
The cheapest dinner set on the menu was RMB 599 (abt S$120 based on S$1 = RMB$5 exchange rate).
We ordered 1 set of this to share and also a lobster fried rice.

Here are some pics:










Most of the food served was really yummy.
The ones that I find normal would be the Mushroom soup altho' its supposedly 1 of the favourites. I've tasted better Mushroom soups in Singapore restaurants! :P
Dessert esp the choc cake is very normal... not to go crazy abt.

Finally Home...

Was away for a Biz trip in Shanghai n Suzhou the whole of last week.
The whole trip was a rush... with alot of last minute changes...

my 1st biz trip on my own... arrived in Shanghai airport and the pickup from the hotel had some problem. They couldn't start the car...
ended up had to walk round the airport to get to the taxi stand n took a local cab from Shanghai to Suzhou instead...

By the time I arrived, I was freaking tired, having spend more than 8hrs on the road. (flight + car ride).

Luckily - this was waiting for me when I arrived! :P


Nothing beats a hot bath to ease away the knots n aches other than a good long massage! *lol*


We bought some caterpillar kits for Kady to grow the sunday before I left for my trip.
& tonight it has finally grown to a butterfly! Or at least 1 of them...Pretty, eh?

& here's some pics of my little 开心果. This nickname given by my mother-in-law to Vera... since she's always smiling... :)

Sun with Moon Restaurant.

We went to the Sun with Moon Restaurant @ Wheelock place last evening with Godma...

Good ambience, nice food. Service - ok.
We spent about $200 with 3 adults and 1 kid.
Had quite a few dishes. The roast pork with peanut sauce, chawamushi and grilled Scallop is good.
The rest is quite normal.

I'll wanna go again to try the dessert as from the menu it looks quite good.
But we were too full to try. :P

Today we went to the Old Town Cafe at the old Mazda showroom near Bukit Timah.
Tried the Prawn noodles which was really yummy! *slurps*


On a separate note - Kady is getting better... Fever is gone but still having a slight cough.

Kady is down - with the full works!

My poor Kady! :_(

She has been down since Saturday....
Fever, running nose, cough, sore throat.... the full works!
today is the 3rd day and yet her fever is not subsiding....

Her fever is like a yo-yo, going up n down.
will be bringing her to see her fav PD later on...
Hopefully she'll recover soon.

The good thing is that she is not as whiny as she used to be *touch wood* when she was sick.
we kept praising her for being such a well behaved girl! :)
