Big Thumb Nail Mall, Pudong

Monday, October 6th, 2008 | 202 views

At Pudong, the most convenient place for exhibition shopping is located at this place called “Big Thumb Nail Mall”, which is able to be easily translated to mandarin at “Da Mu Zhi Guang Chang”. Remember to tell the cab driver a proper pronounciation otherwise all of you would get lost.

At “Big Thumb Nail Mall”, you will have wide range of food in an affordable price.

China is china, there are so many chinese and they are always ‘people mountain people sea’ (In a proper meaning, it means many people)

I like the restaurant exterior theme, which it represents or symbolize the specialty of the food.

Accordingly to my colleague, Pizza Hut in China has a better quality comparing the malaysian ones. They concentrate on the ingredients to make a pizza.

As usual, Watsons is everywhere (The blue shop at the most left), you can see Haagen too!

At this place, there is even a Nike Factory Store, which they sell really cheap things.

I bought some number of t-shirts at about RMB99.00, which is about RM50.00 each. It’s pretty good deal, eh?

In Shanghai, cabs are everywhere with a basic fare of RMB11.00. It’s pretty safe to take a cab during the day but be a little extra careful during nighttime.

For your information, RM1.00 = RMB2.45

Niu Ze Xui, Ara Damansara

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 | 70 views

Listening to the radio, knowing such place as Niu Ze Zui at Ara Damansara, I decided to take a look on how special it was being built.

Went to Niu Ze Xui last 2 weeks with mom & brother, surprisingly seeing the place was not crowded with shoppers and it’s plain new, simply too new for investors.

I’d say, this place has nothing special, full-stop.

Central City, Bangna Bangkok

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007 | 44 views

Let me clarify.

Bangna is a city.

Let me introduce.

Central City is a shopping centre in Bangna, which is just right opposite at the place where I’m staying at.

It has most of the brands in this mall, including the ultimate cheap massage centre! RM30.00 per hour.

They have a lot of Black Canyon Coffee in Thailand.

Did you notice that the Mr McDonald at Thailand is much more fatter comparing Malaysia’s? I wander if he ate too much of pork. For your information, Thailand sells a lot of pork comparing Malaysia. Thai people can display the pork like nobody business.

After the opening ceremony, I simply have too much time walking around. I smell and I saw this!

The food bazaar!!!

Frankly, the color attracted me.

Food in Malaysia is simply dull and “a little bit also not colorful at all”.

At bazaar like this, you won’t want to read what is written. You will only see the numberings indicating the prices of the food.

This is some sort of biscuits dipped into syrup.

These are Thai Rojaks!

Thai people sells a lot of raw spicy food.

These are some fried pork!

They even have their own Bak Chang !

You can see these only at benghan.com, share this with your friend!
