Contacts #1: Xinjiang Restaurant
#1 In a series of the business cards in my wallet.
Who? “JinSaDao”
What? A Xinjiang Restaurant
Where? A shopping mall in XuJiaHui.
No.218 2/F Tengfei Building
333 Tian Yao Qiao Lu
tel: 021-64260901
天钥桥路333号腾飞大厦2楼218
Why? Good food, nice surrondings, “traditional” dancing until 8:30pm. Pretty cheap (as Xinjiang food generally is). Close to Harleys and Blue Frog for after-dinner tipples.
And…once, right, when I was there, a guy in the corner table was sick on the floor for approximately 40-45 minutes.
His friends were getting up, walking around the restaurant and coming back to see if he was still going.
“sick on the floor for approximately 40-45 minutes”
I think that was just the karaoke having its usual effect.
The email address on the card gives me this search hit:

Very interesting photo on the right there, I think you’ll agree. Oh, and there are some shots of food below as well. I’d only be going there for the food of course, not the dancing girl in colourful clothing, oh no.
Did you get any photos of the interior of JinSaDao? Close-ups of the girl will be much appreciated.
Yep that’s the place, and (some of) the dancing girls are easy on the eye in real life too.
No photos of the place though- that’s not what this new exciting feature is about, it would ruin the whole layout and everything.
Also I don’t have any.
I’m certainly getting excited. Maybe your next business card will be from the place of employment of this dancer:

I can only hope.
Don’t want to give too much away David- but each card will be more (or less) surprising than the last!
The tensionings are mounting! (To make my own poor attempt at some Chinglish.)
Sometimes the feeling is so tense in these days!
Where is the Swiss James, Fake Journalist for Shangahiist/City Weekend card?
Dude, patience.
Dude, man sick is not a good sign of a good restaurant.
I’m sure he was just drunk, or poisoned or something.
Isn’t the logo cool anyway- it’s the Chinese characters: “金萨岛” but all arabicced up!
“Sometimes the feeling is so tense in these days!”
The master at work. I just can’t compete on this level.
I think I went to this place on my birthday last year. Bottles of gin and vodka were evaporated by us and I pretended to be a dog.
Swiss, did you cross out certain information on that card to protect the guy’s privacy?
Great job, there’s no way anyone can read through that single thin line
I know you’re all a bunch of illiterate migrant workers (with the possible exception of WoAi, who I’d hope can read gud like wot i do), but its interesting to note that the Dian Ping reviewers all mention^Hrave about the 美美’s also.

WoAi? WoAi? I’ll eat my tie if that guy can read 中文。
WoAi pronounces goodbye like this: “Sigh Jien!” and he can’t read for nothing nor no-one!
The guys at work read the Dian Ping reviews before I went for the first time though and they made much mention of the MMs.
Boy I tell you- watching WoAi (surprisingly good at the belly wiggling and hand movements) and Wiggy (doing the moonwalk, miming out “Can I have your phone number?”) dance with those girls was a special moment I will treasure forever.
Dingle- nope, that was all on the card already, weird eh?
Zicca- did you then throw up for 40-45 minutes? You should have said hello!
Woai’s not so bad T, unless he forgets his “readers”
我当然能看中文！
James’ Chinese is almost as impossible to understand as his English.
I have to say though, the mei mei didn’t do much for me at all.
We used to draw a line through hundreds of order pads at Charlie Chans when the VAT registration number was changed and we still had a few thousand pads with the old number still on it. That was fun.
Xinjiang Restaurant is very good I had heared about it a lot …Actually This blog is based on the china and i love country based blog to get the some knowledge
