Last days in Beijing. Last stop.

Last stop. Bellagio, Zhongguancun




Century Egg with Silken Tofu and Pork Floss----yummy!!!melts in the mouth..drool
Coffee Jelly Milk Tea----another yummy treat!!!I super miss this :(
Three Cup Chicken---yummy!!!the flavor is really good, great with plain rice..=)
Crullers stuffed with shrimp----left me speechless. Everything in this restaurant is gooooood. =)

BTW, they also serve Halo Halo (coz the owner visited the Philippines and he loved it..) and the servers have short hair.

sorry about the pictures..I can't seem to fix the layout?!!??!!?

Last days in Beijing. 2nd and 3rd stop.

The finale of my Beijing food series because some pictures are old already and I've forgotten about my comments regarding the food!boo. procrastination is me. haha

2nd stop. Element Fresh @ The Village, Sanlitun


I had the pan seared scallops with blanched spinach, pepper rice and crayfish remoulade (dressing made with hard-boiled egg yolks, oil, and vinegar, and flavored with mustard, capers, herbs and of course, crayfish)

It was okay. The scallops were big and the remoulade was creamy with chunks of crayfish in it. I did not like the rice, I'm not a big fan of bell pepper.haha price was around...150rmb if I remember right..1050php.

3rd stop. DinDinXiang, hotpot at 新光天地Mall

picture on upper right: (L-R) fish with tobiko (flying fish roe) paste, shrimp paste and cuttlefish with cilantro paste.

The place was very nice. A high end hotpot but I wouldn't eat here again unless its for a light business dinner. Too pricey and I wasn't full even after eating a looot of meat (beef rib eye and lamb). They don't have plain rice too so...there.not full. :(

Last days in Beijing. 1st stop.

1st stop: 新光天地，北京 (Shin Kong Place, Beijing)


鼎泰丰
DIN TAI FUNG --One of the Top 10 restaurants in the World according to the New York Times..



Sauteed Sweet Shrimps -- crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside..I think they dipped the shrimps in syrup before frying coz when you eat it, there is syrup coming out of the shrimp meat.. yummy and great starter to our meal. Costs 35rmb (245php)

Next up are the ever famous Xiao Long Bao's (soup dumplings that come with a variety of fillings) of Din Tai Fung.. The one on the left is pork and shrimp xiaolongbao..It comes with a bowl of soup and one order=around 50rmb (350php). Its not cheap, I know, but it is worth every penny =)

This one on the right is filled with pork and hairy crab roe..It is really tasty and a bit more expensive than the first xiaolongbao..It is around 65rmb (455php).

I have tried the other fillings before but i didn't get the chance to take pictures but I assure you, everything is GOOD =)

Lastly, the Hairy Crab with Silken Tofu. Could it get any better than this?? I thought the dumplings were awesome..but wow, It gets better and better. This goes great with plain rice.. Sums up a really great lunch. Gonna get high blood from all the fat..but I still give this restaurant a 10/10!=)

Every meal isn't complete with dessert.. so for the grand finale...we went to Fauchon (A french Bakeshop) , also located in the same mall for a mini chocolate cake. Oh man, this cake need not be chewed, it simply melts in your mouth! You can see that the chocolate ganache was perfectly done (notice how shiny and smooth it is??). It had a praline crust topped with layers of dark chocolate mousse and dark chocolate cake. 1cake=45rmb(315php) expensive, but definitely a must try when you visit Beijing. =)

Drool. I just left Beijing this morning and now...I MISS THE FOOD ALREADY!!!怎么办？！
