Beijing Biz Trip May 2011 Day 3

Famished when we came back to the clubhouse for lunch having skipped breakfast in the morning.

Had our lunch at the flagship restaurant, Beijing Oi Suen. The restaurant features Chinese delicacies from Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan and other parts of China.

Exquisite chinese tea set to accompany my order of jasmine brewed tea.

Snacks and condiment dishes

Handmade noodles with tomato sauce - highly recommended by Owen :)

Dinner @ the Courtyard

The restaurant sits on a moat besides the East Gate of the Forbidden City offers unrivaled view of the palace.

We were early for our 8pm reservation.

Table setting. The Courtyard serves modern European cuisine even though it was located in a historic building that belonged to the imperial court of the Qing dynasty.

Freshly toasted bread to start the meal

Think this was a mixture of greens and mushroom and shrimps.

Wagyu steak tartar to start off my course.

Owen had red wine-braised octopus terrine, with pickled shallot and bacon.

Main course for me was char-grilled wagyu flatiron steak, medium well.

Owen went for aprcot-stuffed saddle of lamb.

Finished off my meal with a cup of english breakfast tea.
