FOODIES!

Saturday, we tried out “The Elephant” a Russian restaurant located in a small alley off Yabao Lu(where the Russian markets are). We went in for the Buffet,88RMB and stuffed our faces with food. There was a huge spread of starters, main course that included beef and chicken and quite a number of desserts to choose from, and ofcourse free flow of Vodka, Red wine, Fresh juice and soft drinks! That’s quite a bargain for 88 kuai right!

The other day we also tried Purple Haze, the Thai Restaurant at Sanlitun. We had the Tom yum soup (we tried the soup with Prawns and also the one with chicken), Chicken curry in coconut milk, The Purple Haze Fried Rice and Rice noodles. Though the restaurant seems crowded and can get you feeling claustrophobic, and the food took a long time to come to the table, the food was quite good. A dinner for two should cost you about 150RMB.

On our Anniversary we tried out China Grill. It’s on the 65th floor of the Park Hyatt (at Jianguomen) and you get a bird’s eye view of Beijing while dining.. We ordered Pork Ribs along with a few starters and fried rice. The menu is limited but the food’s great! It definitely deserves the “Outstanding for Impressing Visitors" Beijinger Award it won this year.

Like one of our friend who reads my blog says,we’ll probably be returning to India like two fat Chinese pigs! :-D
