We invited my dad to come along to Beijing with us; however, due to my illness, he didn't really get to enjoy time with us. So... we decided to take him out to a nice meal...
I had the address, so we asked a staff member at hotel to point us to a right direction. He marked it on our map, so we thought... 'that's easy.'
Well... we found the intersection, but the direction that we were looking at - there was nothing. Then a group of French people who also looked lost were coming to our direction. As we suspected, they were looking for the same restaurant. I started talking to them thinking they could help us. I decided to go into a little hair salon nearby to ask for a direction. A girl there pointed me to a direction where there is nothing around except for what it looked like a construction zone. As we started walking, they also followed.
Then we started seeing signs that said, "Li Qun, 500 m away."
Without getting a thanks from the French, they also walked into a restaurant first and got a table before us. How rude!!!
But the food at the restaurant made everything worth a while - the adventure & rude people...
I was told that this is one of few restaurants that still use the traditional oven to make Peking Duck. Plus the crepes, green onion, and hoisin sauce make all the difference!
