1. Swensen's in Xujiahui Sep 19, 2006
   Swensen's on the third floor of Metro Tower (1111 Zhao Jia Bang Road) is a great ice cream shop. They offer good Italian Noodles as well. We had great dinner at the outside garden tonight. The scene is amazing! The twin tower of the Grand Gateway is on the left - beautiful building with a big shopping mall in the middle (with bit TV screen on it) in the middle and 48-story high-raising tower on the both side. It is...

3. KFC Dropped Potato Wedge in Shanghai Oct 27, 2005
   Wendy reported that from today, KFC removed Potato Wedge and Pepsi Coke from all the suites. Instead, they provide vegetable salad and orange juice. It seems it is a national wide change in KFC. I remember this Monday when I had lunch there before the Beijing trip, Potato Wedge was still included. There is always big conflict between a product in U.S. and in China. I think KFC is making a wise change to adjust their product to China marketing....
4. Kathleen's 5 Rooftop Restaurant Jun 20, 2005
   Eric and Jessica always have the ability to find great places for afternoon tea. Kathleen's 5 Rooftop Restaurant is at the top of the Shanghai Musuem of Art - the It has one of the best natural view of the city - the People's Park is all below the restaurant and the landscape of both Pudong and Puxi are far behind the park. The tea is 30 RMB, which is very reasonable for the price - the coffee at the...
5. Tea House vs Coffee Shop Jun 15, 2005
   I spent the night with my good friends in a tea house at Lujiazui in Shanghai. Tea house is becoming more and more popular in Shanghai, as in other areas in China. When more and more Starbucks appears, the business of traditional Chinese tea house is also booming. For Starbucks, the typical charge range from 15 RMB for Coffee of the Day to 35 RMB for some newer coffee. For the tea house, however, the charge is typically 68 RMB,...
6. Nice Afternoon Tea at Ambrosia Feb 13, 2005
   Wendy and I had great time with our close friends this afternoon. They happen to have blogs (some hosted on my site) and their blogs are famous.

7. Kabb in Xintiandi Jan 18, 2005
   KABB Bar and Grill is famous. I remember when I first join Michael Conolly's Shanghaiexpat.com meetup party, it was in KABB in Xintiandi. I called my new friend tonight, and we decide to meet at Xintiandi, he asked: "Where to meet up in Xintiandi? How about KABB?". He pronounced it as Cab which misled me to imagine it as a meetup in a taxi. There are two or three places I'd propose to meet besides Starbucks. Starbucks is always the...
8. Three on the Bund - Part II Jul 28, 2004
   I decided to write an article about Three on the Bund the first time I visited and posted an article for it. However, due to the limited time I had last time, I didn't talked too much about the fabulous place. Now I'd like to continue the article. So the Three on the Bund - Part II is here. The Building The fantastic character of the city of Shanghai is the old houses. The history from the end of the...
9. Three on the Bund Jul 25, 2004
   Finally visited Three on the Bund last night. We scheduled a party there but I was quite worried that morning - if the outside lightening system of the Bund is turned off that night, the view of Three on the Bund will be quite disappointing. It turned out to be 38°C which means, according to the energy saving regulation to fight agaist Energy Crisis, there will be no light on the Bund. New Height Although there is no light on...
10. Exciting Shanghai Night Life Jul 18, 2004
    Saturday night is pleasant. Wendy and I hang out on the Bund. It was not easy to find parking lot there. I finally managed to pull my car over at the parking area at the intersection of Xin Kai He road and Zhuang Shan East 2 Road. It charges 10 RMB for the whole night. It is reasonable price but we have to walk about 10 minutes to where we want to go. We went there because Wendy's friend just...
11. Muslim Restaurants in Shanghai Sep 5, 2003
    The question: hi there! I am visiting Shanghai in October. My major concern is about FOOD. It is because I am a Muslim. So, I would appreciate that, if you could provide me an info about MUSLIM FOOD in Shanghai. Thanking you in advance. Warmest Regards The answer: I found a list of Muslin Restaurants on the Shanghai Government Website. I believe I don't need to translate it into English since it will be more useful in Chinese. Just show...
12. Red Restaurant May 22, 2003
    Shanghai is a place with great restaurants and great people. I joined Willie to a wonderful restaurant named Red (website) on quiet Anfu road. The road is famous because the Shanghai Drama Center is located there. I visited the center frequently before SARS hit the city. (In case you want to know what happened to the center later, let me tell you, the performance was paused till now). It is the place mixed with the best environment and the finest...
