Bob: I don't have english version but Coke Smith might. What I have is --

Old Shanghai Lane Cuisine, 300 East Nanjing Road, Floor 6

It's in a highrise building at the east end of the pedestrian street, 3 blocks from the Bund. Metro stop is East Nanjing Road, station is right under the building. From Yu Gardens it's one stop on Line 2, and from the french concession it's a few stops on Line 10. Or take a cab.

Phone# is 33767922, you can always have the hotel make the rez for you, ask for a window table. We ordered:

xiaolongbao (steamed soup dumplings), cold duck, crystal fresh-water shrimp, tofu with fresh-water crab meat, beef cubes, shanghai style rice with veggies ...

Aline, It's Bob's odd sense of humor.... mc = McDonald's

What do you mean by the term "pedestrian street"? I get the three blocks from the Bund part. Is it a street where no cars are allowed so taxi would only get us till a certain point, then we would walk a ways? Mahalo.

Aloha!

Thanks, HT, I need to meet him some day, you all have to come to San Francisco for a GTG.

The pedestrian shopping/eating area of East Nanjing Road filled with people is from People's Square to the 300 block, no traffic allowed, the taxi will drop you off at the entrance of the highrise building the restaurant is in, no walking needed.

The blocks from 300 east to the Bund is regular traffic, good to walk to the Bund to see the night lights after the meal.

Aloha!

bob is also lazy and would not want to have to ask HT to carry me...hw would probably refuse, but linda would for sure--she is the best!

as usual i thought i was being funny with the "Mc" remark.. even my grandchildren no longer laugh with me, only at me..
