I felt it's a little oily but still quite nice.

Yu Yuan is quite a tourist place, very crowded. You need to be careful with pick pockets. A lot of local snacks as well, you can also purchase souvenirs there.

If you are at Yu Yuan, must not forget to eat the Nan Xiang xiao long bao there! It's the best xiao long bao I ever ate.

Shanghai Trip 2015 - Day 1

From new blog
We planned the trip for Mother-in-law in May, just realise I didn't blog about it. Not just that my post are getting lesser.....

Shall not give myself too much excuses any more.

This trip is a short one 4 Days 3 Nights, reason being this is consider our 2nd time going out of Singapore with MIL. We don't know how she will behave and if she has the energy to follow us through a long journey. Location selected Shanghai, reason being my MIL only eat chinese cuisine unlike my mothers who eat any cuisine. Furthermore we wanted to bring MIL to somewhere she has never been before. Taiwan & Hong Kong she went with her friends & siblings before. And I haven't been to Shanghai too so final decision was Shanghai. Hubby has been to Shanghai once in many years back then for business trip. He did want to travel out of Shanghai, I told him not to do so reason being this trip is with MIL better not get too much travelling around.

Same thing Hubby did the research and arranged everything. I am just a follower. We took Singapore Airline to Shanghai, reason being there was promotion and also MIL haven't take SQ before. Who knows on our flight to Shanghai, the flight engine got some problem to start. We were disembark the plane and wait for repair. The whole journey was delayed by 3 hours.... We only manage to reach Shanghai at 4.30pm when we suppose to reach at 1.30pm.

1st day was a little unexpected for the delay, we also met the off work/school crowd at MRT. Check-in hotel room and went out looking for dinner.
