Day 9: Filling Up in Chengdu :)

And we got a table at Chai Men Fan Er (柴门饭儿). :D

Something to warm the tummies :)

Now...what about dieting... :)))

Line is just round the corner and we hopped over for some pics with our friends. :D

We weren't expecting an autumn scene in December. :) 

Du Fu Cottage is our  last to visit spot in Chengdu. This national heritage site was built in honour of a Tang Dynasty poet, Du Fu. It has received many distinguished world leaders since its establishment.

In the year of 759, there was extreme poverty and social unrest, compelling Du Fu to move to the outskirts of Chengdu from Gansu. He built a thatched hut and stayed there for nearly 4 years. The period in the dilapidated hut was the peak of Du Fu's creativity.  He composed more than 240 poems, reflecting upon the misery of the people during this turbulent era.

Grandmom loves tradtional pastries. So we stopped by Gong Ting Bakery to get some freshly baked ones. :)

One of our all time fav chain restaurants in China is Bellagio. :))) All the dishes hit the right note. :D

We still had Haagen Dazs before heading to the airport! :D

Day 8: Eat Away in Chengdu... :)

Well, I'm craving for dumplings and noodles. :) So here we are at Long Chao Shou (龙抄手). 

Dumplings dumplings come to meeeee...

Pauline's love for bubble tea this trip rubbed off me. :D Check out the UNREASONABLE Bubble Tea Shop (a direct translation from its Chinese name - 不讲道理)! 

Everyone queued, we queued too! :D We had no idea what they were queuing for though! :)))

Ahhhhh a pastry shop. Apparently 百香林西点sells freshly baked pastries and they have presence in many cities in China.

It was only sensible to get 4 bags of pastries after queuing for so long... ;)

This was my fav out of the lot. :)

I couldn't resist entering a flower shop. :) Every bloom screamed pretty! What better way to end this post with blooms and more blooms. :)))
