ok..technically i didnt cook..i mean..except for the easy to cook meat..well which i jus put the entire packet into boiling water for 10mins..and voila..meat rdy to eat..hahaa..then i bought 蛋炒饭from a small store below(5rmb only! or S$1), added the cooked meat and cherry tomato..and it becomes my 1st v own i prepare by myself v ownage and v tasty and v cool meal!!!
well then tahaned and fought off the Z monster while being pierced by hou yi's i mean zhang yan's arrows for the program from mon, 1st sept, to thurs, 4th sept, and finally..weekend has arrived! hahaha..yay! ok..fri, 5th sept, went to have lessons as usual..watched a movie called 疯狂的石头 which..is v super confusing. its a plot where ppl wanna steal this precious stone which is worth a fortune. some guy managed to do so at 1st by swapping the real stone with a cheap imitation he bought b4 visiting tt museum.. then the story progresses tt robbers steal from each other, they cant tell which is real or fake, ppl saboing each other, badguys got caught, and somehow police officre gave the real stone to his gf as a gift(he tot it was fake)
sounds boring right? oh yea..it is. and y izzit so? 1st off..actors' / actresses' accent..is v fierce.. and i tot i was used to china's chinese accent..i was wrong... sudd i found out each state got their own diff kind of accent one! mega sianz lor..its like..one of the actor's dunno where in china's accent hor: wu(3) qian(1) wan(4) (五千万) sounds like wu(2)qian(4) wan(4) x3 the original word speed of most shanghai ppl ive heard(except Captain Safety..Captain Safety pwns most prcs in wpm-words per min) doesnt help if i cant really read the subtitles in time b4 they disappear.. had to seriously stay guard against the Z monster for tt movie..
well after lessons, celest needs to go to 静安寺 to reinburse her cab rides and all from her company..ie she's collecting $$$$$.. so took train over to 静安寺 and both of us decided to have our lunch 1st.. some pics of 静安寺
well into the shopping centre itself and went down to the basement to see rows of restaurants + a supermarket full of jap stuff! wow! hahaha... of cuz jap stuff turns celest crazy..if she isnt alr crazy in the 1st place...anw.. went on to scout ard to see were we wanna have lunch la.. then..this hk style restaurant caught our eye..and b4 anyone eyes could even blink, b4 the hair from a prc girl can touch the floor when it dropped from her head, celest and i were alr in front of the counter taking our queue number and patienly waiting. food has such vast amt of motivational power..
roasted meat angle 1
wanton mee
well the roasted meat was jus fantastic!! optimum taste and really gd! hahaha...the wanton mee..well its alot of pork filling and v little prawn, v average la..but still gd enough for 2 hungry stomachs..ahhaha
so after the really wonderful lunch, celest and i walked over to her shanghai sembcorp company, in the rain actually, in an attempt to make celest richer... went into the company, celest then went up to the finance office(i think) and i stayed at the ground floor to wait.. well..i was leaning against a wall near an elevator looking at ppl like going in and out of the building..some ppl were drenched, most had umbrellas, are in working clothes and have tt sian 'shit la i want work to end' face..then after stoning for a while..i realised "hmm..how come like the ppl taking lift so little? esp on my side.." then sudd, i decided to turn back and look..and was like "holy #$%&", there was a long queue behind me!! apparantly they think im waiting for the elevator! was like mega paiseh when i told the lady jus behind me im nt waiting for the elevator..didnt know how she looked at me(can imagine though) cuz i tried to avoid her eye contact when she walked past me..hahaa
so after a while celest gotten richer, and we decided to go to raffles city.along the way, celest and i passed by a small store selling cheap sushi..we couldnt resist and jus bought 2 small boxes, jus for tea later on.. and oh yea..shanghai has a raffles city! hahaha..
after tt, celest and i walked ard abit b4 we walked out of raffles city to look for our dinner places..some pics of 人民广场..
chinaman standing in front of raffles city with his loot..
so celest and i walked ard abit..then i rmbed 'hey..there's this restaurant tt ive been with my parents and my mom's colleague to eat..serves great fish in cooked in some really spicy stuff and oil..shld go try!' then the quest to search for our dinner is on!! well along the way the smell of smelly tofu and guo tie entered our noses.. of cuz mere sushi for tea isnt enough to keep celest and i..and so we bought our appetisers..
smelly tofu with smelly smell but doesnt taste smelly
vege guo tie
so after walking along 云南中路 for a while...celest and i found the seafood restaurant called 上海人家 or TNARUATSER in engrish.. no idea what TNARUATSER(This Nothing AR i have no idea what tt means) stands for or means.. might be jumbled up words for all u know..
one reason y u shld learn chinese..no one knows what TNARUATSER really means..its easier to look for a 上海人家 than a TNARUATSER..
well after looking thru the menu celest and i ordered some mushrooms and the sichuan dish, 沸煮鱼..the fish cooked in oil and spices.. after a short waiting time our braised mushrooms arrived..and after a 1st taste...woahhhh..its cold!! omg..they serve like cold mushrooms?! its nt even lukewarm, its jus..cold..celest was like saying 'wont it be better if its hot?' i was like ' oh yea..lets get tt ppl here to heat it up' then we got the service ppl, who looked at us with a weird look, to heat it up for us..soon after 沸煮鱼 and hot braised mushroom was served..
our heated up braised mushrooms
the spicy but fantastic 沸煮鱼
well the 沸煮鱼 was really delicious cuz the fish is really fresh, and somehow they cook it until its pretty soft..nt so soft until it splits when u grab them with ur chopsticks, but soft and tender enough tt its a real gd feeling when u eat them.haha...of cuz..this dish brings tears of joy to celest's and my eyes.. every mouthful, after savouring every bite of the fish, celest will carefully wipe her tears of joy away with her napkin, while i jus wail in glee, with tears flowing freely from my eyes and my fist resonating, in eating such gd 沸煮鱼..T.T
after we finished and paid the bills and all..while walking out of TNARUATSER, celest jus stopped a while and said..'er..wait...i think the mushroom is a cold dish leh' i was like ' huh really meh? i dun rmb its a cold dish leh..' after tt both of us went out of the restaurant to check the menu provided.. and yea..it was written really clearly under cold dish..our braised mushroom..no wonder the service person looked at us weirdly..imagine us asking him to heat up a cold dish...fantastic..>.<
