Saturday Brunch


Nothing beats a good Saturday Brunch.
This week, we visited Wagas at CITIC Square (Across Plaza 66 at Nanjing Xi Road)
I had their pumpkin-spinach-coriander-Swisscheese Panini. It is super delicious! Completed with a glass of Wagas Ice Tea: Ginger Ale, Tea and crushed ice. Perfect.

Hans ordered a big serving of Caesar Salad. I have to say, it is one of the best if not biggest salad...

My new pets


Swarovski just launched a new line of "The Gang of Dogs".
Cute little (expensive) dogs made out of Swarovski crystals.
I love the black ones. Later on, when I have some money to splurge, maybe I'll adopt them.

Jing'An Temple


Throw in coins for goodluck!





Jing'An Temple is located in the city. Right at Jing'An area, next to a mall.
It's quite big, I think... And more in construction.

De Viering van Koninginnedag



My Dutch friend, Martijn, invited us to attend the Dutch Queen's Birthday party in Shanghai.
Took place at Creek Art at Guang Fu Road.
Noo.. The queen was not there, of course. But I can't complain for the great food and drinks.

And that's us in front of the famous Orange Cow...

Indian in China



Last Friday, we found a very good Indian restaurant. At least, that's what I thought of the Rice and the Naan Cheese Bread.
It was huge and delicious.

Anyway, the restaurant is called Kaveen's Kitchen. Owned by an Indian and it has also Indian waiter who can only speak very little Chinese. It's located at Jing'An Area. Just a little walk across the bridge after Jing'An temple.

Dr. Seuss, Ni hao...

After raining all day yesterday, today, the sun is out and the breeze is just too nice to be wasted.
So I took a walk to the nearest bookstore. Guess what I found...



A small collection of Dr. Seuss' books... in Chinese!!
What better way to learn other than from Dr. Seuss. So if you excuse me, I am now going to have a quiet moment with Horton.

The Bund

I know I have shown you the Pudong side. But finally, one nice Sunday, we went to the riverside and see the famous Shanghai landscape.



And do it like Mao...
