ok i realize this is a horribly fat picture of me whereby i look like i could engulf sarah but you know what they say about plump people...they have plump hearts!!
i told sarah i wanted to try shanghainese cuisine this week. so we were looking for a restaurant called Xin Wang on Hong Qiao road near my house that served a mix of SH and cantonese cuisine. we got to the right elevator but went to the wrong floor. after looking at the menu for recommended items that sarah had written on a small post-it, i looked at the menu cover and asked her what it said. She said it said Yuan Yuan and that was NOT Xin Wang, the restaurant we wanted! we were confused b/c we saw the sign saying Xin Wang before we got into the elevator. we later learned that Xin Wang was on the 3rd fl and Yuan Yuan was on the 2nd! we got off on the wrong floor. after we ate, we went to take a look at the intended restaurant and the food kinda looked the same. no worries b/c the food we ate was super duper gooood, esp. the spicy Hunan-ish beef dish, the bokchoy w mushrooms, and the lion head meatball soup. and a big pot of chrysanthemum tea!even though it was the wrong restaurant, it was definitely the right food!
