Nanjing Impressions 大牌福

I was lucky enough to be invited to judge in the 1st China National High School English Debating Championships held in Jinling High School in Nanjing. The host school treated us judges to dinner in one of the best Chinese restaurants in Nanjing, 大牌福. The interiors reflected original street designs of 1800s. It was amazing being there, it was like being transported back into time.

I munched and chatted through the evening and thus forgot to take pertinent details of the food that we ordered and the location of the place, so what follows is a line-up of photos of the food that we ate (taken with my camera).

特色菜 - 新建餐厅 Xinjiang Restaurant

On the Saturday of the 北航大学 University of Aeronautics debate workshop, around 12 of us had dinner in a Xinjiang restaurant near their school. I lost the name and the address but kept photos of our dishes. The best thing about eating with lots of Chinese friends is we get to try so many varieties because all the (12!) dishes are put on the lazy-Susan.

Qinhuangdao Food Snaps

Last weekend, I was invited to be one of the judges for China Debate Academy in Qinhuangdao. 

天天餐厅- Everyday Restaurant

It was only a month ago when I joined a small Beijing debate tournament where I met fun and like-minded debaters who were interested in discussing global trends, social movements and management practices. From the pre-elimination rounds all the way to the tournament's Grand Final, I exchanged knowledge, humor and wit with the city's best.
