Bellagio (the real Cafe Lugang!)

It was the third week in Beijing of my good friends Anton and Ralvin, and we finally got together for our first winter night out together. We strolled along 新中关 and ended up in another version of Bellagio. In Manila, this is famously known as Lugang Cafe. The interiors are more or less the same. Some of what we had:

油淋鸡 Chicken and garlic in ginger oil for RMB 42

Bellagio (Taiwanese Chain)

I've been craving for the Bellagio slushies since Seb took us there a couple of months back, so after our scrumptious Din Tai Fung dinner, my brother and I headed to this famous Taiwanese chain.

Peanut slushie! Creamier than ice cream. For RMB 29

Din Tai Fung (!!) in Beijing

I wanted my brother to have a taste in one of my favourite restaurant chains, Din Tai Fung. We visited their outlet in Beijing and found the place looking high-end, unlike their outlets in Singapore that looked like a regular restaurant where people streamed in and out from.

I missed these dumplings =) Pork Xiao Long Bao for RMB 45/10 pieces
