Normally, today would be the day I meet up with the other members of the Dot Com crew for the weekly Dot Com Pho get together. However, since I’m in Shanghai and they’re back in Richmond, we’re going to be doing a Dot Com head to head. While the Richmond crew is doing their normal Dot Com Pho, I’ve decided, in the spirit of oneupmanship, to do a Dot Com Shanghai Spring.
Attending Dot Com Shanghai were myself, Sarah, Sally, my mom and a couple we met at the Grand Hyatt Shanghai. For the first edition of Dot Com Shanghai, we have to get rich is glorious, lobster disrespecting, root of all evil, eaten alive and a whole lot more. Let see the Richmond Dot Com Pho crew top this!

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

The guys in Richmond are having Fur?
What was the total price of Dot Com Shanghai if you don’t mind sharing it with us?

That wasn’t Dot Com anything… you didn’t talk about technology, the internet… nothing. You just went out to eat! Boring!!
Dot Com Pho – John Chow Free Edition contains plenty of tech and even a cameo by a cast member of Battlestar Galactica
More like a lobster pho.
Great Lobster John! That’s rerally an amazing lifestyle of a dotcom mogul? hehehe
No way could I eat something that’s still moving.
That was pure evil.
Haha seriously, gross
Haha I won’t expect seeing you on Fear Factor anytime soon
If it’s lower down the food chain than me then I have no problems eating it.
It is moving! arrgh
wow, it’s delicious…
Looking at seafood displayed like that grosses me out already, but having the antennas move is nasty…
I definitely wouldn’t order that meal myself.
Looks fantastic, can’t beat the still moving part for freshness…
Haha this meal looks great. Maybe you start a monthly “Dot Com somewhere in the world”
John.. Hope you’re not reborn as a Lobster.
He’ll be reborn as a Panda. It will take everything he’s got to avoid his evil nature because if he gives in, he’d end up killing himself
DCP May 21st Episode is in the YouTube Queue!
hahahah yuck .. that was disgusting
Haha I love lobster. Good times indeed
John, Once again you have shown us your a marketing master!
haha, the poor lobster! How much did dinner cost?
John Chow came into the lobster’s house! Disrespected his whole family!
that is something else John
Geeez lobster
I don’t why but I don’t like this type of food at all… have fun over there!
John, I’m great fan of Chinese food, next to Indian food, but don’t you think eating a lobster while it’s still alive kind of cruel. I know the animal is going through tremendous pain. But i see the evilness
I thought it was in ice to numb the pain. Besides it was a big lobster, I’m sure he had a long and happy life before meeting John.
John, im a great fan of food too, but don’t you think that lobster was in tremendous pain? I can see ur evilness
That lobster dish really is unique. I have never heard of a lobster dish where the lobster is kept alive. That really is the root of all evil. BTW, where did you meet the couple?

I still can’t believe people do this kind of crap even after having seen it first hand. Nice work John
wow it still moving
i never understood how someone can eat this i never tried it before , anyway it looks really good
Looks like you guys eat like kings every time you go.

Yuck! Talk about being evil… I don’t know which is the lesser of two evils; throwing rocks at innocent panda’s or eating live lobsters!
I don’t know if I would be willing to eat anything that can still fight back when I pick at it. Perhaps next time you should try cooking your food? lol
Man, that looked really good. However, if you like some good old US pork barbecue ribs… Check out my latest post Grilling With the “Master” of the Grill I don’t think you can top these ribs John.
No numbers and nice pictures
It’s the perfect menu
