Hooters / Sunny Hills

This article was translated from Chinese by AI.

It’s the last day of 2013, so I’d better hurry up and post this Christmas entry~~~
This day turned out to be the most poorly planned day in history.
The original plan was to have lunch at Hooters at noon, take a stroll along Binjiang Avenue,
enjoy afternoon tea at The Peninsula, watch the artificial snowfall nearby at Waitan Yuan, buy some pineapple cakes at Sunny Hills,
then have dinner and wrap up a wonderful day smoothly~~~

But reality went like this: Had lunch at Hooters at noon, took a stroll along Binjiang Avenue,
and by the time we got to The Peninsula it was already 3:30 PM. The hotel said that since it was Christmas, they had an event that evening, so afternoon tea was only served until 4:00 PM.
So we had to give up and went to Sunny Hills next door, only to find the pineapple cakes were sold out and were told to come back in the evening…
The artificial snowfall outside hadn’t started yet, and there wasn’t a single affordable restaurant in all of Waitan Yuan. We walked all the way to Nanjing Road for dinner,
walked back, and the artificial snowfall had already ended, and Sunny Hills was closed… It was so cold outside, so cold…

Well, at least the Hooters lunch set is a rare treat, since they only serve the Christmas set menu at night…
These two dishes actually tasted pretty good, but they didn’t feel like Hooters at all…

IFC definitely spared no expense on their Christmas decorations this year.
In terms of both quantity and quality, they’re probably the best among Shanghai’s malls~~~

Passing by the Roosevelt Mansion on the Bund, there’s a cute Santa climbing up the building…

The Peninsula Hotel is massive and the only new building on the Bund; the afternoon tea area was packed…

Sunny Hills pineapple cakes are very famous in Taiwan. I didn’t expect them to open such a huge store at Waitan Yuan.
Customers were streaming in non-stop. When I visited, only samples were available; the retail stock was completely sold out…
