Oh My Shanghai!

When you think you had it all, you're mistaken.

Now, wait. This is not some sort of a threat. It doesn't even connotes seriousness.

I was just talking about - FOOD! Chinese food that is. You see, we had our team dinner last night. We were given the location beforehand but we don't know which restaurant yet.

While on the taxi heading to Shingkong Mitsukoshi our Taiwanese team member called me up and told me the name of the restaurant. The name was in chinese she said but the menu will include shanghai dishes. "Okay", I said. So we thought, right, yet another Chinese food.

You see, this dinner thing is monthly basis. Thus, we always thought of something nice. We've been craving and wanting to go back to this shrimp house/restaurant where they offer mouth-watering dishes. But we had no luck this time.

I was actually expecting some traditional and "same old" dishes infront of the dining table but when the orders came, I was like OMG, this dishes should come with rice - lots of rice that is.

That made me confirm the fact that chinese food is so diversed. It is a great nation that offers different cuisine to our stomach's delight.

Shanghai dishes I can say has a bit of Filipino taste (or it's the other way around). "The taste is stronger", one of the team member said. You can always find soy sauce and sugar in their dishes which made me drool because I like soy sauce very much.

Anyway, I have to burn what I ate last night this coming weekend. Jogging for two hours perhaps? Goodluck!

P.S. I forgot to take pictures of the things we ate because I was busy eating. LOL.
