Shanghai Babe:Day04

Shang hai : Last day. My flight tak off tonight before midnight. I'll be arriving SG in le early mornings. Since i finished my work early, i got e time to walk ard Shanghai town today. Started e journey with Mr. Bao early this morning, arrived e city around noon. But e 3hrs ride was worthed it. Got here early, just the right time for lunch. I jio-ed Mr.Bao for lunch, he brought me to his fren from the same city - 南通市. The 老板娘 owned a small restaurant here. I was curious what "毛血旺" is on the menu. So there it is:



Oh yeeeeeah, this pot of baby is actually 'coagulated pork blood' cooked with vegetables and chinese herbs. Said to be highly nutricious. I haven't eaten 'blood jelly' since the last time i was in HK. So i'm quite used to e taste, actually quite tasteless. The good ones are prepared such that when u use the chop sticks to lift it, it doesn't break in to pieces. Just like tofu. We also had:



麻婆豆腐, 糖醋鱼肉, and the best was 铁板牛肉. 棒! 棒! 棒! Soon after we're both filled to the brim. Darn it had not been the rice we ate, we could have finished every bit of the food. After e meal i thanked Mr.Bao and we headed separate ways. Went out to 黄浦江 - 外滩 dragging my luggage. It looks like a tourist region, lots of '1 Minute photo stands', food stalls, Ppl selling little toys, Teens giving out little 'cards' advertising "those kinda" service to single travellers, they even had a cafe and restaurant around. Things that i saw:
