Epilogue:
As tradition dictates, after the dinner a smaller group went for "second place". We drove about 45 min across Pudong to reach a street where all the hip bars are supposed to be. I am not sure about that, but we found a decent place and after a couple of Old Fashioneds some if us (o.k. mostly me) were hungry again. They had oysters - who can say no to nice fresh oysters and another Old Fashioned?
(there was a "third place" as well that involved driving for another hour somewhere in search for a fried chicken place, finally ending up in another bar having some sort of mediocre pizza and a final beer - however, pictures and memories are too blurry to post here).
