Orchard Road beautifully decorated at night.
Also note the wide
sidewalks.
| A movie showing how the night-time lights in Orchard Road are animated.
Also, note the decorations hanging across the road and the
what-looks-like-clovers seen briefly in the middle of the video.
| A video of water art. I like how the streams are lit by light that
changes color. This is most obvious in this recording looking, near the
end of the video, at the next-to-last stream in the row.
| A giant Christmas tree on Orchard Road.

| Within the giant Christmas tree, globes hung from the ceiling twinkled.
The effect, shown in this movie, is magical. I tried to move to the
camera a bit so you can see how they're hung at different heights.
| Blue globes adorn one road that hits Orchard Road.

| A steamed bun stall.
| My bbq pork bun (char siu bau / bao). Not as good (nor as sweet) as those
in the bay area. I ordered it because this filling is a Cantonese thing:
though steamed bun stands are everywhere in Shanghai, none sell this type
of bun.
| A shui kway / chwee kueh stall.
| Shui kway (a.k.a. chwee kueh): heavy (physically, i.e., dense), steamed
rice cakes topped with pickled onions and optional chili sauce (sambal).
I like these, as I did the
first time I tried
them in Singapore. Though both are made from steamed rice flour,
they're definitely incomparable to kueh, which I found I generally don't
appreciate. Maybe it's a savory versus sweet thing.
