~~Dinner aT Yuan Luo -- 院落(四合院)~~

Someday....meeting at Microsoft office until late, when come out is almost evening and here is the look in early winter beside Microsoft officeWe heading to a dinner place near the 后海(Hou Hai), for hotpot fish. Heard that the place is very nice and is in the old Beijing house(四合院),so went there to have a look, but is not cheap.

The front door of the restaurant--> 院落...Just look like a normal house door

Corner with lamp...old Shanghai feel~~

Another type of lamp in the Living hall room

Hahaha, sorry....keep on showing the atmosphere of the restaurant, forgot about food :P Here come our main dish of the nite----->Hotpot fish

So spicy and oily...but the fish is really nice...yummy, but cannot eat so much, too oily.Can add in vegetable or some meat just like steamboat.

Bake potato with cheese...nice, but must eat when it still hot!

Crystal cake(水晶糕)

Corner for hand wash, so beautiful~~

Overall nice enviroment but the food not really that super nice for that price :P

~~This is NOT wine, is Umbrella (Isabrella)!!~~

Isabrella——Is an umbrella.When you open isabrella, you will be surprised that it is not a bottle of wine but an umbrella. The idea was accidentally found that while holding up the wine bottle upside down, with the neck in hand, it was like holding an umbrella on a rainy day. An idea struck to design the umbrella in the form of a wine bottle, the neck the umbrella handle, the bottle the umbrella container.

Below is Mosaic Series“Grab the tip and pull, collapsible umbrella in the form of units. Hardcover looked like a bottle of enjoyment as well as the smooth opening and closing / wet umbrella on the receipt in the bag immediately and round, and also glad to have a Jacuzzi-whirlpool! Afterlife as a unique design is also recommended.”

~~Dinner at FouDing Restaurant 否定主题餐厅~~

After a whole day meeting with Microaoft client, we decide to went for a dinner together. Helena bring us to a restaurant nearby which is a unique restaurant with different theme each quater. The restaurant call 否定主题餐厅, 否定=Denial...hahaha name also different from others.

Is abit hard to find the restaurant coz is at a corner deep inside a small street. Lucky that Helena went before, if let me go again i may not found it :P The theme for the restaurant now is "Hospital", hahaha...so funny!

All the waiters wear like in Hospital--> this is nurse

Some "Equipment" to serve...ermmm...whats that?

Place that we sit also put the white cloth

Another funny thing is they plan to serve our drinks in the milk bottle!! wahahaha....damn funny, but we all don't want :P Paiseh~~

The plate and chopstick they use is all in LONG shape... chopstick is still ok, but the plate....haiiii

Okok...is time for FOOD!! Overall the food is good, but not extremely good la..hehehe, but the service is better than other restaurant.I personally like that Meat mince egg serve with bread, this one is special here!!

Our starter is the "口水鸡" but the way they serve here is abit different, they add in peanut cream at the bottom

Pork chop, but this one abit hard and dry, not my favorite

Here come my favorite!! Look nice and taste damn good!!

Dessert is the Red Bean Pudding, this one also nice!!
