2013 Nov: China: Beijing: After Taste

I used to like Chinese food, but possibly not on this trip.  It may have been not the best experience, but hope to see and taste better in the future.

Restaurant inside Temple of Heaven
Food: 5 out of 10
Value: Affordable
Atmosphere: 6 out of 10
Orders: egg and tomato soup, unlimited dumplings



rbt Tea Cafe (Asian Restaurant)
Location: 180 Xidan N St Xicheng, Beijing (http://en.rbt.com.cn/index.php)
Food: 6 out of 10
Value: Affordable (52cyn =320php)
Atmosphere: 8 out of 10
Orders: beef and fish cakes

We're not able to enjoy the beef because it is too raw and we're not able to chew it.  Thus, we ended up loving the fish cakes, but that is tasty.



Local Restaurant
Location: near Dongsi Station
Food: 7 out of 10
Value: Affordable
Atmosphere: 7 out of 10
Orders: vegetables and potato cakes

Cool chopsticks on its heat dispenser.



The Pizza Company
Location: Xin'ao Shopping Centre, Olympic Village
Food: 8 out of 10
Value: Affordable (57cyn = 350php)
Atmosphere: 8 out of 10
Orders: Chicken Wings and Pasta Marinara

We don't want to get in another trouble just because of food, so we went to this place.  Of course, food is great, but nothing special.



McDonalds
Location: Wangfujing
Food: 8 out of 10
Value: Affordable 
Atmosphere: 8 out of 10
Orders: Chicken and Green Tea Latte

The Mc Cafe menu is much better than we have in PH.  The coffee selection are likely comparable with Starbucks, but they also offer unique tea flavors and good looking sweets that are very affordable.  But as a rule, if you can skip Mc Donalds in your next trip, do so since you have it in your own place.
