my wife and I booked a Chinese New Year's eve dinner last week. we were too late and there was no seat available at night, so we had to change it to the noon.

many families in shanghai prefer to eat out in CNY's eve, sometimes there are several hundreds of families dining together in one restaurant hall, the price for a 10-person set banquet ranges from 600 Yuan to 1500 Yuan, usually consisted of 12 - 20 dishes, soup and dim-sam.

i had a debate with my wife as which seafood should we order (we need to order the seafood in advance), she prefers shrimp and i want to eat a turtle. i told her that if she agree to perform in my blog moive then i would give up my turtle, and she fought back to ask me to allow her to set up a kindergarten for the food market kids (those food market peddlers brought their kids to shanghai but couldn't afford sending them to shanghai kindergardens, so these kids play with pork, fish and fresh tou-fu everyday).
