How to Eat Lau Sa Bao (Custard Bun)

We all woke up early for dim sum on the third day of Chinese New Year. Location was at Tai Thong, my all time favourite dim sum restaurant. The good folks were awesome ex-colleagues - Beng, Choy and Viv. Still remember, in 2013, on the day of reunion dinner, Beng, Viv and I were doing sauna, had a crazy laugh before each of us headed home for our respective dinner. This year, our gathering included Choy. Hadn't met her for ages! Now, this Chinese New Year is blessed by good friends, good food and good times.

I don't. Scroll down if you dare... The first and biggest museum in China. On the wall, the sign board stands aloof.

Could barely speak Chinese but yeah I survived and found that I love the place. People keep giving me different opinions of China but I say, "Let's find it out personally." So in Shanghai, I spied... In Shanghai, the crazy skycrapers dominate the skyline but they haven't forgotten those in between. In Shanghai, they called it the Oriental Paris. So romantic. They dance. In Shanghai, there are mostly signages in Chinese. I was mostly happily lost. We don't always need a direction. In Shanghai, I saw my name or what looks like my name. With 2 different strokes, my name becomes Stop. It looks like there are Nine Million Bicycles in Shanghai too. In Shanghai at The Bund - this beautiful massive colonial buidling stands proud.
