Today we had Sunday brunch at the Westin Hotel at the Bund. The variety of food is fantastic, with food stations upstairs and downstairs, and free-flowing Veauve Clicquot.

| Ahhh… |
There were Asian food stations (Peking Duck, Dim Sum, Congee and Roast Meats) as well as the standard things you would expect: raw seafood bar, sushi, prime rib and breakfast items. There was also a caviar bar, crepes, cheeses, charcuterie, etc. The menu was definitely friendly to expats. New Zealand lamb, Argentinian spit-roasted meats, taco bar, Italian pastas and breads, smoked fish. All the bars were open, and were lined up with pisco sours, frozen margaritas and there was also a self-serve Bloody Mary bar.
Lots and lots of desserts as well. I think the kids loved the cotton candy and both had crepes filled with chocolate, topped with whip cream.

I think this brunch is so popular not only because the food is impressive, but because of the entertainment. A small orchestra performs, and accompanies two opera singers. A man and woman, and both were great. Then a string trio (violins and cello) performs. This group is made up of three young women, all in blue, all playing electronic string instruments. Lastly, a Chinese acrobat group performs.
This was a really fun way to spend the day together. We will definitely be going back.
