Shanghai | Nice brunch place with friends in Pudong district
The whole restaurant had such a nice vibe—very cozy yet reminiscent of British style. The location is perfect near LuJiaZui.
🍳 Brunch Options:
Smoked Salmon Omelette: The mushrooms inside were incredibly fragrant, the salmon had a slightly salty flavor, and the omelette itself was perfectly crispy. It’s light enough for a morning meal.
🍕 Black Truffle Pizza: The truffle aroma was absolutely divine! The pizza wasn’t super thin-crust, and the mushrooms were a great touch.
🥗 Fig & Prosciutto Salad: With buffalo mozzarella, it had a rich, creamy taste that wasn’t overwhelming. The sweetness of the figs paired perfectly with the salty prosciutto, achieving a great balance.
🍝 Bolognese Pasta: The addition of cherry tomatoes brought a slight hint of sweetness—highly recommended.
☕ Coffee lovers, you’ll find good options here too!

Shanghai Toy Story Hotel!
Today we are staying at the Toy Story Hotel in Shanghai. I must say, it is magnificent. The decorations are filled with themes from the Toy Story movie, and you can take pictures at every corner of the hotel. Additionally, the hotel has a shop that sells Toy Story souvenirs. Another advantage of staying here is that you get to enter Disneyland an hour earlier than everyone else. It's definitely worth it. If you are a fan, you must not miss this.

Take stylish photos in the morning at The Bund Shanghai
The morning atmosphere at The Bund Shanghai offers a unique beauty. I recommend taking photos both in the morning and at night, as both times provide stunning results. You can also see the Oriental Pearl Tower.
In the morning, there aren't many people around. Don't forget to take a picture with the bull statue, an important landmark.
I visited in early December 2024. It was very cold, around 11 degrees Celsius. Make sure to bring warm clothing.
It was my first time in Shanghai, and I fell in love with the city. The people are friendly, and I love the convenience of transportation and spending. It's really great. 🤎🫶🏻
Following in the footsteps of celebrities, dine on crab roe noodles at a luxury restaurant in Shanghai.
One dish that you must not miss when you come to Shanghai is crab roe noodles. No matter where you go in Shanghai, you will find many restaurants offering this dish. We did some research from locals and found the restaurant Cejerdary. As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, we knew it was extraordinary. The place is luxurious and grand, with pictures of celebrities all over the walls. Since there were only two of us, we decided to order just three dishes because we heard that the portions here are large. While waiting for the food, we were served aromatic roasted peanuts that smelled like butter. Here are our reviews of the dishes we ordered:
🌟Crab Roe Noodles: The noodles were perfectly tender, and there was a generous amount of crab meat, crab roe, and crab eggs. Unlike some places that use chicken eggs, this dish was packed with crab goodness, which explains the high price. The flavor was mild, not very strong, which might not suit Thai people who prefer bold flavors.
🌟Crab Roe Fried Rice: Served in a large bowl, this dish also had a lot of crab meat and crab roe. The taste was well-balanced and very delicious.
🌟Marinated Crab in Moutai: The flavor was mildly sweet and salty with a hint of sour sauce to balance it out. The aroma of Moutai liquor was noticeable. This dish is a bit pricey, but worth trying at least once.😂

Peace of Mind at Longhua Temple
I went to Longhua Temple with my family. It’s a temple that locals visit to pay their respects. After walking around the temple, near the exit, there’s a cafeteria selling vegetarian noodles and snacks. In the cafeteria area, no one comes to collect money, it’s all self-service. Each table has a QR code for payment, so after you’re done eating, you just pay on your own. It gives off this vibe of mutual trust, which I really liked. The atmosphere felt friendly and welcoming.
Aside from the cafeteria where you can sit and eat, they also sell packaged snacks like Chinese cakes, mochi-style treats, and crispy pastries—perfect as gifts. They’re around 20 yuan per box. There’s also a teahouse that sells tea sets (I can’t remember the exact price, but it was on the higher side) and has a time limit for how long you can sit. The teahouse interior is beautifully decorated in traditional Chinese style.
As for Longhua Temple itself, I enjoyed the overall atmosphere and experience more than the architecture. I’ve been to quite a few Chinese temples, so the architecture didn’t feel particularly special to me.
If you’re a cat lover, the garden at the very back of the temple is basically a cat haven. Visitors seem to love taking pictures of the cats. The cats here are such great models—they pose and don’t even run away from people~

Another popular photo spot for Chinese PR. Guaranteed by the number of photographers and models. But since this area is not very large, if you want to take photos without people and don't have to wait in line for a long time, I recommend coming early in the morning.
We went late because there were a lot of people and cars.😅
The popular corners of this spot are the Former Rowing Club swimming pool and the Union Church on the opposite side.
From this point, you can walk to the Rock Bund zone.

Shanghai at Christmas: A Festive Fusion of East and West
#magicalxmastrip #shanghai
Shanghai, with its vibrant mix of modernity and tradition, takes on a unique charm during the Christmas season. While Christmas is not a traditional holiday in China, the city embraces the festive spirit with enthusiasm, creating an unforgettable experience for locals and visitors alike.
One of the highlights of Christmas in Shanghai is its dazzling light displays. The Bund, with its iconic skyline, becomes even more mesmerizing with Christmas-themed projections and festive illuminations. Strolling along the waterfront, you’ll find beautifully decorated buildings and trees that create a magical holiday atmosphere.
Shanghai’s luxury malls, such as Xintiandi, Plaza 66, and IFC Mall, spare no expense in celebrating the season. Extravagant Christmas trees, elaborate decorations, and live music performances make these shopping centers more than just retail spaces—they’re festive destinations in their own right. The bustling markets, like the ones at Yuyuan Garden, offer unique Christmas gifts with a blend of traditional Chinese and Western influences.
For a more immersive experience, head to the Shanghai Christmas Market in the Pudong district. Inspired by European markets, it features wooden stalls selling mulled wine, gingerbread, and handcrafted ornaments, bringing a touch of Europe to the heart of Asia.
If you’re in search of a spiritual experience, Shanghai’s international churches, such as St. Ignatius Cathedral, host beautiful Christmas Eve masses with carols sung in multiple languages, offering a sense of global unity.
What makes Shanghai unique at Christmas is its ability to blend global traditions with its own modern, cosmopolitan culture. From glitzy decorations to festive events, Shanghai offers a multicultural Christmas experience that’s both vibrant and memorable. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Shanghai during Christmas is a delightful celebration of East meets West.

New Attractions in 2024
#New places to visit in 2024
Today, I will recommend a late-night restaurant on Nanjing Road.
Whether you are looking for something to eat after returning from Disneyland
or hungry late at night
or want to find something to eat with sugarcane juice🍻🍻
I recommend this place. There are many restaurants.
But I have tried two restaurants, so I will review them first.
The first restaurant is Half-boiled rice small brewery (People's Square Branch)
The second restaurant is Half-boiled rice small brewery (Nanjing Road Branch 100)
Both restaurants are close to each other. The first restaurant is in a building. You have to enter through a small alley and take the elevator to eat because it is a restaurant in a shopping mall. The mall closes late at night, but the outside elevator opens to allow the restaurant area to open.
The other restaurant is in the back. Walk around the building and you will find it.
The building is a shopping mall located at People Square Station Exit 19.
Come out and walk to the left. You will find the Nanjing East Road shopping mall. Then turn right. You will find a road next to the mall. Find the entrance next to KFC.
Or simply pin the shop and walk straight.
The first shop is a fun bar.
Half-boiled spit roaster (People Square shop) is a bit more expensive.
It is sold as a set of three sticks. The taste is delicious and spicy.
A large glass of beer. There is a small stove to light and warm the food.
The second shop澈久以前羊肉串 (Nanjing Road 100 Store)
This store is a skewers type that is grilled in front of us. It is a rotating stove. I like that the store has a gel sheet to reduce the heat. It does not make your face hot. It is suitable for those who like grilling but do not like the heat.
😁😁 As for ordering, the store has Thai language. It is not exactly correct, but you can order. If you ask for ice, they will give you a bucket like in Thai. After eating, they also give you free milk ice cream. It is very delicious. You can ask for more. Hehe
When I went up the elevator, I saw many more stores. Every store looked delicious.
If anyone goes there and wants to try other stores, you can. There are many stores in just one alley. It is a good place to find food late at night.
🥰🥰

Shanghai | Nice Bistro on Fumin Road with road view
BISTRO11
📍 179 Fumin Road, 1st Floor
Visited this charming bistro with a friend. The atmosphere was fantastic, located in the bustling Jufu Chang area, and it was quite crowded.
Fried Scallop Spinach Salad with Uni Sauce
The scallops weren’t overly fishy, and the combination of spinach, arugula, and uni sauce was unexpectedly delightful!
Burrata Cheese with Ham and Homemade Osmanthus Vinegar
The burrata was creamy and flavorful without being overly rich, paired beautifully with the dry and slightly salty Italian-style ham. The osmanthus vinegar added a unique touch.
Icelandic Skate Fish with Mussel and Crayfish Sauce
The fish skin was crispy, the flesh tender and fresh, and the dish was elevated by the creamy mussel and crayfish sauce.
French Fries with Hollandaise Sauce
Freshly fried, crispy, and perfectly paired with the rich, tangy hollandaise sauce.
Lemon Tart
Beautifully presented, the tart was balanced—not overly sour—making it an excellent, palate-cleansing dessert.

Shanghai | Authentic Shanghai food in Pudong with good interior design
Rose Shanghai
📍 Shop L138, West Zone, 288 Qianjiaotan Road,
On this trip to Shanghai, I indulged in a lot of classic Shanghainese cuisine. While exploring the area near Taikoo Li Qiantan, I stumbled upon this lovely restaurant. The ambiance was great, and the staff provided excellent service.
Crab Roe Tofu
The crab roe was incredibly fresh, and the tofu was exceptionally tender. Served fresh and hot, it was an absolute delight with no fishy taste at all.
Green Peas
The peas were cooked to perfection, tender and refreshing, with added ham and yam for a clean, crisp flavor.
Garlic Crispy Fried Chicken
The chicken had a crispy skin that wasn’t greasy, while the meat inside was juicy and flavorful—every bite was tender and satisfying.
Wasabi Prawns
The prawns were impressively large, with a crispy outer layer and a hint of wasabi adding a spicy kick.
Yellow Croaker Rolls in Wine Sauce
The fish was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a slightly sweet sauce that’s perfect for Shanghainese tastes.
Stir-Fried Pig Liver in Soy Sauce
It’s been ages since I’ve had liver this good! Cooking liver at home is tricky, so I prefer having it at restaurants. The sauce was sweet but not cloying, full of rich flavors—classic “red-braised” Shanghai-style.
Grilled Rice Cake with Eggplant
A surprisingly delicious combination of eggplant and sticky rice cakes. The rice cakes were chewy, and the eggplant, mixed with minced meat, was fragrant and savory.
Rice Wine Soup with Glutinous Rice Balls
This dish was slightly underwhelming; the rice wine flavor could have been stronger.
Price:150 RMB per person

Shanghai | Come to Shanghai Tower, and enjoy the French food
This time, I returned to Maison Lameloise for a meal during my trip back home. Situated on the 68th floor of the Shanghai Tower, it offers an absolutely stunning view of Lujiazui. The experience was elevated by their delightful spring menu.
Marinated Mackerel
Beautifully plated, the marinated mackerel retained its fresh flavor, complemented by cucumber sauce, diced cucumber, and a delicate cucumber flower on top. The crisp freshness of the cucumber balanced the rich umami of the fish perfectly.
Spotted Salmon
A generous piece of cured salmon served with creamy lettuce and sweet peas for a touch of sweetness. The green palette was refreshing and tied together by a vibrant lettuce soup, bringing a delightful contrast of fresh and savory notes.
Golden Tilefish
This dish stood out with its colorful presentation. The fish was tender and paired with a rich roasted fish bone sauce. The accompanying vegetables, including carrots and crispy potato balls, added layers of texture and flavor, creating a unique combination.
Cherry Dessert
The dessert was a showstopper: almond milk skin brought a rich yet subtle flavor, while the lemon curd added a hint of acidity. The raspberry-flavored lollipop was refreshing and the perfect palate cleanser.
Sparkling Apple Juice
I finished the meal with a sparkling apple juice that felt almost like sipping a sweet wine—perfect for setting the mood.
Whether for a weekday date night or a weekend gathering with friends, this spot is an excellent choice!
📍 Maison Lameloise (Shanghai Tower)

Shanghai | Enjoy the traditional Chinese food in the tea house
This time, I met a friend on Wuyuan Road and we decided to visit this teahouse. The open space on the first floor was incredibly relaxing, and the balcony on the second floor offered a cool view of Shanghai’s streets.
Highlights:
Inspired by the collection of morning dew, this dish featured peas as a garnish and a vegetable purée at the bottom with a texture reminiscent of mashed potatoes. Unique and intriguing flavors!
Black Truffle Stir-Fried Wild Mushrooms
Absolutely loved this dish! The aroma of mushrooms combined with black truffle was heavenly. The crispy bits added a delightful crunch and were packed with flavor.
Duck Confit Rice
The duck leg was richly flavored and not greasy at all. The addition of black rice gave the dish a chewy, satisfying texture.
Lily and Shrimp
The lilies were sweet without any bitterness, complemented by peas as garnish. The shrimp was generously portioned—absolutely delicious!
Desserts
One had a gardenia flavor, soft and mousse-like in texture. The other was melon-flavored, slightly sweeter, but paired perfectly with tea.
📍 Yuangu Yunjing (Wuyuan Road Location)

Shanghai | Cosy Chinese restaurant with tasty chicken soup
I recently went to Yuxi Village with friends and was impressed by the nightclub-style atmosphere and great design. The vibe in the evening must be amazing!
The set menu is super affordable, with an average cost of just 80 RMB per person – you’ll definitely leave stuffed!
The drunken chicken hot pot has a lot of chicken, and it’s cooked perfectly. The meat is so tender and fresh that I couldn’t stop eating!
The beef cooks quickly and is delicious. The noodles soak up the rich soup flavor, making every bite even better.
The clams are plentiful and super fresh, and the addition of sesame really enhances the flavor!

#Shanghai #China
Take a walk and take pictures on a street with a great vibe like "Wukang".
Let's start at Wukang Mansion, an old apartment that has become a popular photo spot.
Then walk along Wukang Street. This street is very cute. There are cafes, restaurants, and clothing stores. What I like the most is the houses in this area. The vibe is great for taking beautiful pictures. It's very pleasant to walk around.
If you walk to the end of Wukang Street, you will find Anfu Road, another street that is worth a walk and shopping.

Xiao Long Bao from a famous Michelin restaurant ⭐️🦀 Shanghai
#triptravelchina 🥟 Xiao long bao from the famous Lai Lai Xiao Long (莱莱小笼 - 乔艾) restaurant that received a Michelin award is a relatively small restaurant that requires a queue, but the queue is quite fast.
There are seats on both sides of the restaurant with many tables. While waiting in line, the restaurant will show you the menu first and you can only order once.
I was afraid that it would not be as advertised, which was a shame. *I recommend ordering more because it is delicious.*
The menu that we ordered for 5 people, an average of 186 baht per person.
🥟🦀 Crab Xiao Long Bao, delicious, light comes out of your mouth, thin dough... soft filling... rich soup spreads in your mouth, really delicious.
🥟🐷 Pork Xiao Long Bao Delicious, not bad, but if I had crab, I would have liked crab more. 🍗 Good fried chicken served juicy, not dry, crispy outside, soft inside. 🥠 Spring rolls, crispy, lots of oil, not that wow.
But overall, it's as advertised, everything is delicious. 🦀⭐️ Especially the Xiao Long Bao, it has to be this restaurant only. It deserves the Michelin Bib Gourmand award. 👍 Plus the price is affordable.
Anyone who comes to Shanghai must try it at least once. You won't be disappointed
