FLAMME (@ The Village, Sanlitun) :We had heard both good and bad reviews for this place...
Finally one week night we thought we'd finally give this place a shot.
For starters we ordered the grilled mushrooms and sauteed asparagus in aioli sauce. For main course - the chicken rosemary and a grilled salmon. We thought the food was pretty good, though I thought the chicken was a bit too salty for my taste. Service was nice, the staff is quite friendly. Our bill came up to 300rmb (including one cocktail).
We were too stuffed to order the dessert...I am still drooling over the thought of their chocolate cake with molten lava centre! The next time I go I have decided am just going to have that for maincourse!
DONGBEIREN (Dongzhimen) : A small cozy restaurant in Dongzhimen , right opposite the main Bus Station.
We love this restaurant , but the last time we went was one cold winter night last year.
You are greeted by a baby doll in a cradle at this Manchurian Restaurant. This place is the only one we've found so far that serves the Kerala Parotta.Yeah! We couldn't believe it ourselves the first time we went there!Our very own Kerala Parotta at just 5rmb. We ordered the Beef n Potato Stew and the Egg plant noodles.
This place is also quite popular for their dumplings. We took away a portion to have at home.Though the staff doesn't speak English the menu is bilingual.
Be prepared to sit in between a noisy crowd! We were too hungry to be bothered - and I think we're just used to it now! :-)
We were set back by 75 rmb for dinner (including 1 rmb they charge for the plastic box for takeaway)
Indian food in Beijing
It's only when you're away from your country you realise the small things that never mattered when you had them, are what you miss the most!
And when we get to see them here, we are so excited and happy...Like Indian Magazines, Indian sweets... the other day I was happy to see Okra (Bhindi) selling just for 12rmb a jin at the market!
Though we have Indian food at home, when you're looking for comfort food you always end up eating out at an Indian restaurant.
We love the food at Tamarind now known as Tadka Rasoi ( At Marriot North east, Sanyuanqiao) We think it serves the most authentic Indian food in town and the prices are just the same as that of the other Indian restaurants.
We ordered the mushroom kurkure and Murgh malai kebabs for starters (yumm...) Garlic naan and Mutton kheema for maincourse and we loved the complimentary kulfi given by the very generous Chef Kurli.
They are also having a promotion till the end of August and have "The Mumbai Beach Snacks" Pav bhaji, Chaats and Bhel puri on their menu.
For those of you who crave some good south Indian food in the Jing,head to the Indian Kitchen at Liangmaqiao.
