Work and food, food, food.
The first stop after my meeting: Beijing Roast Duck at
Da Dong Duck. Several locations, check the website for the one nearest you. Still one of the best places for duck that I've been to. Long wait and they've stopped taking reservations? No problem, they provide complementary cocktails and wine while you wait!
 |
| Delicious sauce and toppings to be added to your duck roll. A Beijing favorite: sugar. |
 |
Dozens of layers of soft dough wrap
 |
 |
| Bitter melon with bean paste |
 |
| Lobster pasta |
 |
| Mala fish and arugula |
 |
| Lychee |
Manchurian Food at
Na Jia Xiao Guan. Also several locations. So good, so memorable, divine service.
 |
| Special soup for women with high nutrients and secret ingredients for beauty and health - including a sprinkling of pearl powder for skincare |
 |
| Perfectly steamed rice to be mixed into the soup, or to have the soup drizzled on - depending on your preference |
 |
| Delicious condiments - cilantro, preserved tofu, chili oil |
 |
| Chicken with peppercorn and walnuts |
 |
| Chinese yams with osmanthus |
 |
| Lychee shrimp |
 |
| A bird that greets customers |
The infamous
Sanlitun for shopping, expat restaurants and drinks. Horrible traffic 24/7, commercialized but still undeniably chic - Sanlitun is still necessary to visit every now and then if you crave the comfort of international stomping grounds, cupcakes and expensive drinks.
