Mommy's Birthday Dinner Part 1

I brought forward my mom's birthday celebration cos she already has dinner arrangements that day. :/

We decided to go somewhere different and since we haven't tried Grand Shanghai, I thought we could give it a shot under Joyce's recommendation. She said that my mom will love the place and well, she's absolutely right!

The restaurant was packed and we had a little trouble getting help but the decor of the place was fantastic! Rustic and made me feel like I'm in Peace Hotel In Shanghai. The live band was good! Not the usual noisy ones but a jazz band and the lady singer was good! There are 2 ladies and both are pretty good! They were singing the oldies which all parents will be able to sing to.

Amazingly, despite what I've heard from everyone else, the food was pretty good! $68+++ per pax and since we have more than 4 people, we get to have a Peking Duck and it's yummy!!!!!

The only downfall is that I don't like chinese food in western proportions... too little! And yes, as usual, I was too engrossed with the food I forgot the rest!

ARGH!!!!!

But here's what I have...


Aaron and girlfriend Aileen


My mom looks good in this new dress and she's wearing the sweater I got her from Hong Kong! aaaawwww... she loves me!

Mom, me and ad



The "LOU HEI"!

I must say the soup is good! CLEAR soup with rich chicken taste :) but it has fins. :(


HUGE piece of chicken... I decided to take the flash off cos the light is too harsh so all the other colors get washed out. :/

Do go try and experience the old Shanghai glamour!
