21/6/2024 - Lunch

📍兰心餐厅(进贤路店) , Shanghai

I would say the food here is closest to sg food. It's sweeter and less spicy. My favourite dish was probably the pork belly. The rest were kinda meh for me.

📍Park Hotel Deli, Shanghai

Palmiers (32 yuan) - super crispy and flaky. Best eaten there, darn hard to keep. Is it worth the queue? Maybe not. But it's still pretty good and i'm glad i bought it :D

21/6/2024 - Breakfast

📍 莱莱小龙, Shanghai

🦀 Crab Xiao Long Bao (46 yuan/8 pcs)

THIS! This is so yummy. It's freaking rich with an intense burst of crabby goodness in your mouth. It just works so well with the pork. Wished that we ordered another one. That being said, i haven't tried this dish in other restaurants, so there's no baseline here.

🐷 Pure Pork Xiao Long Bao (28 yuan/8 pcs)

It's not bad! After trying the crab version, this fades in the background. We are already biased even before this begun. Should've had this first.

Ginger vinegar (1 yuan each)

20/6/2024 - Bubble Tea

📍 Ah Ma Handmade (阿嬷手作), Shanghai

🧋 Oolong milk tea with yam (31.5 yuan)

Yums this was good! Lots of taro with mochi. The mochi has a strong rice taste and has a softer smooth texture.

20/6/2024 - Dinner

📍 裕兴记•蟹黄面馆(人民广场店), Shanghai

450 yuan for 1 crab roe noodle + shared xiao long xia

🦀🍜 Crab roe noodle

Very rich and roe-y. It's my first time trying this dish and it's IMPRESSIVE. The noodles might be a little too soft for some but I still really like it. We did mix some of the wine from the xiao long xia into some of our bites. It makes it a little more exciting.

🦞 Xiao Long Xia

It's super sweet from the alcohol. So freaking ADDICTIVE. Could not stop taking sips of the wine. They provide gloves but if your hands still get dirty, you can pop over to their interesting throne toilet.

20/6/2024 - Lunch

Airplane food, Guilin

📍 ADDLOVE bakery, Chengdu

Chocolate mochi bun. Not bad but not super amazing.

20/6/2024 - Breakfast

📍 Hotel Breakfast, Guilin

Finally managed to try guilin youcha (油茶). The soup itself is quite bitter, but adding the rice crispies makes it better. Just be sure to add more. It turns sweet after a few sips. It's not for everyone, but I'll definitely try it again!

Ordered in a bunch of stuff. Overall, it's not bad. We were lucky that someone in our group has ele.me

Mochi bun

Crab roe flavour sunflower seeds

Green muscat grapes (云南阳光玫瑰青提) - these are quite sweet.

19/6/2024 - Dinner

📍 Breadway, Chengdu

🥐 Flat matcha croissant (12 yuan)

It's still crispy. I expected it to be kinda soggy? Not bad but also not sure if I'd buy it again

KFC burger

19/6/2024 - Snack 2

📍 ADDLOVE bakery (爱达乐), Chengdu

Egg tarts (2 for 11 yuan)

This was pretty good! Bought it cause it just came out of the oven. Made the right choice :D Pastry was flaky with a nice creamy centre.

19/6/2024 - Snack 1

📍 小谭豆花(西大街店), Chengdu

Ordered a savoury douhua and a sweet one. It's alright. I don't have much recollection of this tbh.

19/6/2024 - Bubble Tea

📍 Li Shan Shan (李山山) , Chengdu

🧋 Mo Shang Qing Ti 陌上青提 (18 yuan)

Green grape oolong milk tea with cream on top and crushed figs. It's a soothing milk tea. I like it! Would like to try other flavours here.

19/6/2024 - Lunch

📍纯阳馆 面 CHUNYANGGUAN, Chengdu

🍜 Cow Pea Noodles - 豇豆肉绍面 (10 yuan)

Not really a fan of tihs cow pea. I'm also generally not a fan of the yellow peas cause it's kinda mushy?

⭐️ Dan Dan Mian - 担担面 (10 yuan)

This is my fav out of the noodles. It's just so comforting. We ordered another bowl to share!

🥣 Yellow Jelly Noodles - 煮凉粉 (8 yuan)

Very interesting! It's like eating carrot cake but with a salty meat sauce. Would recommend trying this at least once.

🥣 White Jelly Noodles - 旋子凉粉 (8 yuan)

Has an interesting texture. It kinda breaks in your mouth like agar agar. Served with a spicy sauce.

🍜 Spicy and Sweet Noodles - 甜水面 (10 yuan)

Also LOVED THIS. It's not for everyone though. The noodles were thick and chewy - I guess it resembles Udon but it's wayy chewier and doughier. I LOVE LOVE the sauce for this cause it's sweet AND spicy. Ended up dipping the yelow jelly noodles in this.

🥚🥣 Steamed Egg with Ground Pork - 肉绍蒸蛋 (7 yuan)

Another comforting dish tha'ts so freaking cheap!
