High Up in Shanghai

When I say high in Shanghai, I mean it literally... we were really high up there. With a population of 21 million people, it's no wonder there are some really tall buildings. Our hotel was on the 87th floor of the tallest building in Shanghai... check out some of these views!   

Now down to business.. my business, the food! 


First up, lunch at Charme with lots of good choices of different Chinese provinces dishes and some other Asian-inspired ones too

Wish there wasn't mayo in it, although a lot
of other people would disagree with me...

My favorite - minced lamb that you wrap
 in a thin pancake with leek, garlic,
cucumber and a  sweet sauce

Charme's signature rice... a basic 

fried rice with lots of other 

veggies and meat thrown in,

can you go wrong? (that's rhetorical)

A BBQ roast... the ribs were 
great, the rest, not so much

Hong Kong beef brisket ho fan in soup, a nice light start to the meal

Yup, it's good

Stuffed Butter Squash with 
black bean, Kelly's fav - if you 
like mushy textures
 you'd be all about this too 

Thai Basil with chicken and veggies....
simply yet delicious flavor 

Toast Box with Ice Cream...everyone had this on their table for dessert 

What's in the toast box?
You guessed it, bread squares

Anshul digs the bread box
