Shanghai is an increidble city. bright neon tron-like lights outline and animate amongst the towering skyscrapers and snake ribbon intersections and freeways. electronic music that isnt top 40 trance or hip hop is BRAND NEW to the people still, so its extremely exciting. I played for a crew wonky kong run by a fabulous ex D&B promoter, Jane. from epic meals to a great amazing party heres some of the highlights of my 2 days there.
well begin at our last hours in tokyo. I heard about black sesame ramen, but never in NY. we seeked it out in tokyo and wow. I stupidly forgot to grab a card form the restaurant, but this ramen was spicy, black sesame based and on the menu listed as “painful ramen”.. dont know what the mix up in translation would be on that one.
had a shochu on ice for the road down a back alley bar
off to the airport.
what do you know about green tea kit kats?
theyre delicious.
…don’t do it.

hello Shanghai.
the view from New Heights restaurant is massive.
the night after we ate a frog pot at a spot called wawaijo. tradiional szechwan spicy style.. the numbing peppers and all. it was full of different flavors – celantro and the chili really balanced one another perfectly. Frog taste like a hybrid between chicken and fish. loved it.
kermit in the fryer.
so many bikes in shanghai.
so many Maos.
in the parks and small alleyways, old men and children will carry these song birds with them. they chirp and chirp like burpy little flutes.
dont miss out on the pulled noodles.
or the dumplings..
Jane aka DJ Siesta, the hostess with the mostest.
Bonus Question. What did we eat for breakfast (by accident)…
hint: dont bust my balls.
the party was off the wall.. check pictures out HERE
