13:25 PM 廊亦舫 Lang Yi Fang Restaurant
We were starving by the time we finished the Oriental Pearl Tower. We went to 上海æ£å¤§å¹¿åœº Shanghai Super Brand Mall on the opposite side of the road and got into a random restaurant.
Coke
糖醋寸金骨 Sweet & Sour Spareribs
Yummy appetizer.
蟹肉å°ç¬¼åŒ… Steamed Baozi Stuffed with Crab Meat
æ‰¬å·žç‚’é¥ Yang Zhou Fried Rice
ç…Žç„—é²œé² Pan-fried Fresh Abalone
Crispy! Only 22RMB each…
海鲜酸辣汤 Hot & Sour Seafood Soup
As usual, JR over ordered again! We were surprised at the big portion of food served, especially the 海鲜酸辣汤 Hot & Sour Seafood Soup. We only managed to drink 1/4 of it. The abalone were delicious! You have to put the whole piece into your mouth to feel the crispness.
15:00 PM Moving on
After lunch, we went to Toys R Us and bought boardgames. Saboteur was really cheap. we bought it to replace our the missing pieces in our current pack. We continued shopping before entering the Apple Store next to the mall. The glass structure of the store is similar to that in NYC and it is equally packed with people.

Making our way to Nanjing East Road.
15:40 PM å—京东路 Nanjing East Road
Walk, walk and walk… Did some shopping along the Nanjing East Road. There’s nothing much interesting here. Our tired feet gave up so we took a cab to ç”°ååŠ Tian Zi Fang.
17:15 PM ç”°ååŠ Tian Zi Fang
ç”°ååŠ Tian Zi Fang is really beautiful with its building and ambiance. As the day was getting dark, I didn’t manage to take many photos. There are a number of interesting stores but the stuff are not cheap hence we didn’t buy anything there.
 
18:50 PM Back at å—京东路 Nanjing East Road
We took the metro back to Nanjing East Road.
Walked along Nanjing East Road again and tried to find the Fake Market. Perhaps we got the address wrong. We went searching for free WiFi. We found that the Fake Market closes at 6 PM, so we decided to go there another day. We also wanted to try the famous hairy crabs for dinner. JR found a famous restaurant but it closes at 8:30 PM! Why do stores close so early here? We continued strolling along Nanjing East Road and saw 大娘水饺 Da Niang Dumplings. JR recalled reading it somewhere that it was recommended.

三è‡æ°´é¥º + 白èœçŒªè‚‰æ°´é¥º
Not bad! Indeed very nice.
DQ Drink.. We wanted the mango drink but it was sold out. So we chose the Blackberry Storm. It was quite nice too.
20:40 PM Exploring Shanghai
We bought something from BreadTalk before heading back to the hotel, in case we get hungry later. JR wanted to check out the location of the Fake Market, so we walked on further. We failed to find the Fake Market and were really exhausted, hence we took a cab back to the hotel.
A really expensive trip back to the hotel. JR chit chatted with the cab driver along the way back.
23:40 PM Supper Time
Back at the hotel. We went to the reception to check if the hotel has available room with King sized bed but the receptionist said that the earliest date for the room was on the 12th! That’s our last night in Shanghai already! JR considered upgrading our room since it was only S$40 more but considering that we would be here for the 7 more nights, it would cost us S$280 more!
