The many miscellaneous rambling and musing of a Shanghai Expat woman.

Facade of the restaurant
Native Thai cuisine prevails at this restaurant. For those who love Thai food, there’s a new Thai restuarant along Kang Ding road, just few minutes walk from west Yen-Ping road.

Nicely printed menu in English with photos.
Chiang Mai Thai cuisine mainly offers native Thailand food. The selection of seafood dishes is fantastic. It has a quiet and warm environment and the lighting was comfortable.
We got there pretty early, at about 11 noon and we were the first customers. We ordered fried rice with shrimp paste and tom yam soup. For me, tom yam soup is a absolute must when trying thai food. To top it off, we ordered fried prawn cakes as appetiziers. It was a pity they did not have appetiziers combination, which is available at Thai House . But the prawn cakes were not available and we ordered fish cakes instead.
The service was actuallly quite good which is rare in Shanghai. They were very accomodating and polite. The food was good although we would have preferred it to be more spicy. While waiting for the final dish (fried fish cakes), we were served Satay instead. We though it was a mistake. The Thai Chef explained that the fish cakes were not up to his usual standards and could not be served. The Satay was on the house.
All in all, the experience was pleasant and we would be back for more thai cuisine.

The Mainland Chinese will no longer need to make their way to Hong Kong Disneyland anymore, because a much more bigger Disney is coming to Shanghai! After years of negotiations between China goverment and Walt Disney, it’s finally a done deal. The official announcement is expected to be made after Beijing Olympic in August.
It was said the park will cover 10 square kilometers of land, about eight times the size of Hong Kong Disneyland, and will be built near Pudong’s Chuansha Town, about 20 minutes’ drive from Pudong International Airport.
The park will be open at the earliest possible time in 2012 and might impact the numbers of visitors to HK Disneyland. Time will tell… It would be the third Disneyland in Asia after Japan and Hong Kong .
