Good curry restaurant in Beijing...
By LEMONCACTUS | 12/17/2005 11:00:30 PM
OK, so I haven't tried any other Indian restaurants in BJ and I hadn't eaten a curry for 6 months...
The Golden Elephant, Beijing
has a relaxed atmosphere and serves up pretty darned delicious Indian and Thai food. Staff are friendly.
Expect to spend about 150-200RMB for 2 including beer.
It's in the ex-pat part of town on Sanlitun Street (a bit of a dodgy looking side-street) but worth the wander. I would definitely recommend it.
Yum!

Belly dancers, snakes and wild music!
By CHINACHICK | 5/29/2005 8:07:46 PM
I first found out about this place about 6 years ago when it was a much smaller place. I went there again a month ago and found that although the area of the restaurant was the same, they have now packed in many more tables.
Afunti is a cross between a beer hall and a kebab house! All the long tables are tightly packed together because once everyone has eaten, you're allowed to get up on them and dance! The highlight of the evening comes when a pretty slim Uighur woman appears on stage in an exotic costume with a snake wrapped round her neck to perform a stunning Arabian Night dance!
The crowd cheers her on and not long after the host invites people on stage to dance with her. There are various competitions in which you can act the fool, have fun and maybe win a hat to take home with you...no, unfortunately...the girl doesn't come with it!
There are so many dishes to choose from and some of them can be quite expensive, so I suggest you choose one of the set meals they offer. The cheapest starts at 100yuan per person and it is wonderful food! Middle Eastern pasta with veg in tomato sauce, roast lamb on skewers seasoned perfectly, fruit platters, fish, pitta bread , and anything youre not too keen on from the set menu, can be swapped with an equivalent valued dish from the main menu.
There are also different types of beers, soft drinks, spirits and cocktails.

Peking duck
By INTIANJIN | 8/5/2004 5:42:20 AM
Peking Duck (Beijing Duck) is Beijing's most famous food. I was told there are only restraunts which serve it. One is located just outside of Da Zha Lan street and costs 68RMB for a small plate. You'll notice it because inside the entrance are pictures of presidents and other famous people who have eaten there.
The Peking Duck isn't amazing or anything but it does taste good.

Dining in Beijing
By CYNTHIAA | 4/26/2004 4:22:01 PM
All the expensive hotels have several well-appointed restaurants, where the atmosphere is sedate but prices are sometimes not as high as you might expect; look out for their special offers, advertised in the city's listings magazines. Local restaurants, though, are cheaper and livelier. Expect to eat earlier than you would in Western cities: lunch is around noon and dinner around 6pm or 7. Few places stay open after 11pm. Restaurants usually have two, sometimes more dining rooms , which are priced differently - though the food comes from the same kitchen. The cheapest one is usually the open-plan area on the first floor. It's rarely worth phoning ahead to book a table; if you do, you will always end up in the most expensive sections.

The imperial court banquet in Beihai Park is very good and the restaurant is housed in traditional Chinese building. I went there last winter and could not forget the delicious food.
Wangfujing Street is a good place for snacks. The hotel we stayed is quite near the street and we went there at night. Various food made me full! Tip: Remember just taste a very little piece of each, otherwise you will feel full before you get to the end of the row.

Addicted to Chinese food
By DANIEL | 3/30/2004 10:39:32 AM
arrived in Beijing on Sept. 2001 to study the language. I decided to go as an independent student, rather than with an affiliated program of my university. Though this brought about frequent headaches the first few months, I soon adapted to the Chinese way of Life. I made friends quickly, and they would always invite me out to eat such delicious meals, from Hot Pot (huo guo) to Beijing Roast Duck (kao ya) to Jiaozi (chinese dumplings). I became so addicted to dining out that I took a part time job teaching English to continue this "habit". I enjoyed the walks down various avenues of Beijing and kept trying to practice my chinese with different strangers.
This is a very short message, but I will post another soon. China was an eye-opener for me. I was welcomed with open arms and treated with so much kindness and respect. Go to China and experience for yourself. Feel free to contact for any advice.
