Nanjing day 3 part 3!! =D

and do u think day 3 is over after 雨花台? NOoooo! hahahaha.. the night( well it was kinda like evening then) was still young.. so of cuz after a long tiring day of walking 2 super huge parks, celest and i decided to have something gd for dinner.. anw.. celest did mention b4 like during one day on her way back from work(ya..i think its work..nt the train station) from a cab, she noticed a few eateries & a really big starbucks at this road called 太平南路... so.. we took bus 2 from outside 雨花台 to 太平南路... which was ard like 10 stops away.. haha..kept checking the map.. and this time we cleverly did nt check mapbar.. so nv take to the wrong stop or need to walk or smth..hahaha

well.. reached 太平南路 and it kinda really reminds me of clarke quay.. v those kind of style place with big restaurants and pubs at tt area...

can u spot the liang seng fighter(celest)?

prob the chioest kfc in the entire nanjing..


again..can anyone spot celest here?(she really likes to walk into pics..)

nope..this is nt the restaurant we ate at...will get to it shortly..hehe

well after walking ard for a while, we eliminated most of the restaurants except for a few la... choice 1--Thai restaurant, choice 2-- steamboat, choice 3-1912 canto restaurant.... thai restaurant was abit ex..and well... basically it looks as normal as most other stalls selling S$7 tom yam soup..ok .. choice 1 out! choice 2, steamboat... looks gd..but super ex.. ok choice 2 OUT... choice 3 1912 canto restaurant.. food's gd(celest spotted a few she wanna eat), looks nt bad, ambience quite ok.. ok ACCEPT!! except 1 big prob.... its full.. have to wait for 30mins... ok lor..so celest and i decided to go out and walk ard... then.... jus a few stores in front, we saw this teppanyaki store with a signboard tt says like 70rmb for a whole lot of meat, veg and lots of food... ok..so we decide..mayb lets give this teppanyaki a shot.. walked in and saw....(yea china's famous for tt) tons of ppl too..but luckily got a place at the 2nd floor.. well actually the signboard outside turned out to be for lunch..but then again..since we alr sat down and everything there looks gd..we still decided to go on with eating there..

well walked up to the 2nd floor, sat on the same long table with a korean family and another small family too.. jus like most other teppanyaki places..the chef cooks in front of u.... and seriously..the chef we got.. was super zai... he kinda cooks like..an art u know... nt jus flipping of veges/meat over and over again..but the way he scoops them up, the way he jus trickles the sauces onto them...zai.. hahaahah.. after a 5min "stare at awe" at the chef's skills, celest and i decided to share a beef set meal.. and seriously.. it wasnt the least bit disappointing.... its jus fantastic...


1st course: Sashimi


2nd course: salad

3rd course:(where things are starting to get alot better) mushroom rolled with beef

4th course: beef fat-a-tongue(as far as i rmb i think tts what its called, and no i dun think its beef tongue..)



course 5: beef slices

course 6: veges


course 7: beef fried ricecourse 8:miso soup

course 9: fruits

course 10: ice cream

after the really fantastic performance by the chef and the meal(oh yea..i was mega full too) and feeling super satisfied, we left 太平南路 and went back to celest's apartment.. a really great way to end nanjing day 3! =)
