Shanghai - Cloud 9 - Typhoon In Fa

25 July 2021

It was a Sunday and we had decided to spend a day in a mall as it was a stormy day. stupidly not knowing about Typhoon In-Fa!

Typhoon In-Fa landed in the Putuo district of the city of Zhoushan, Zhejiang province at 12.30PM this day. It moved at the speed of 15km per hour, along the Zhejiang coast. passed Shanghai and reached Jiangsu province by evening. This resulted in Shanghai and Hangzhou cancelling flights. trains were suspended at metro stations, floodings. and broken trees were everywhere.

We took Line 4 to Zongshan Park metro station
Walked to the left of the station to this exit and it led us to a tunnel straight into Cloud 9 Mall. This is our 2nd time to the mall and this is totally a different route into the mall, this time. Loved this mall as it has a good range of restaurants and boutiques that we liked, but the journey is far.






Had our brunch at TOFATO, a Hong Kong restaurant
Fried flat noodles

Roasted herbal duck

The TOFATO bakery



At first, I thought these were cat or dog food. Nope. They are human food! Cakes in tins. TOFATO offers these cakes in 6 funky flavors.










Haagen Dazs cafe


Peanut butter crunch

Swarovski outlet




Charme Restaurant
Stir fried Kailan 

Specialty tofu


Seafood chowder


Curry beef tendon

Saw that Charme has its own range of mooncakes. However, they only sell mooncakes per box. We asked if we could buy only one to try first and a kind lady actually offered us one lotus mooncake, FOC! Nice!

Reached our home metro station at Zhongke Road and saw that workers were busy clearing the road and bikes were all on the ground.
