weekend in Shanghai

This weekend, I was in Shanghai, and had an amazing date night at our favorite Sichuan restaurant, and definitely one of the SH's favs among Lao Wai ( Foreigners) and locals - Sichuan Citizen. it's located at the French Concession, that area is filled with creative, unique, and exciting eateries, bars, lounges, and cafes. Although great chinese restaurants often don't last as long as the western eateries, but this place has been around for awhile, and every time I bring guests there, I get the "silent treatment" every time.. because the food is fantastic, and spicy enough that, they just eat, and drink water, then eat more.

The restaurant has a great bar serves all western cocktails,  the dinning room has the real Sichuan feel with a twist of modern flavor.

And the food..... omg! we had their famous Numbing spicy fish in soup, it uses live fish with slices of mushroom.

And the Sichuan's stable- Ma Mo Dou Fu ( Spicy Tofu ). C.Z gets it right every time.

After dinner, we drove for about 3 mins from C.Z within the French Concession area, and we found H.O.F - House of Flour. I heard about it from my friends, and didn't believe I could find a "desert heaven" in China. But we did... they are majored in Chocolate, Belgium Chocolate, yes!!! they bake their own cakes, they serve Illy Coffee, plus cocktails.....

We ordered the Death by Chocolate and a couple of lattes, I really couldn't believe what I was tasting, very impressed! The cake has a great chocolate aroma, and the chocolate layers were creamy, but it wasn't overly sweet, and they put a tea spoon of crunchy chocolate beans.

And, look.... you can buy chocolate high heels here too... certainly, 2 of my favorites in 1.

My Blog

Okay, it took me a awhile to get into this, but I am one of those people who would rather go out and explore the world other than sitting at home trying to figure out how this machine works. But today it's the day, I need to share my joy to everyone I love. I enjoy life, and I wake up every morning feeling blessed to be alive; to enjoy this wonderful world. I want to use this blog to encourage everyone to do the same- work hard, and live harder.
