Wang Ping – 6 course meal dinner!

Day 2 at Beijing, I had dinner at this high-class restaurant called Wang Ping. So damn expensive, but the following pictures will show you how damn delicious it was! It was a 6 course meal. Something like TAO’s in Singapore, only difference is, the food is of a higher quality. There were several categories (6 courses) and within each category, there were quite a variety of items to choose from! I was excited to begin choosing! The first course was…

Yummy Potato Chips!

Some big brands are available in most parts of the world. I especially love exploring the local supermarkets in different countries to see what’s on the shelves! I went crazy in China’s supermarkets. In China, LAYS’s potato chips are quite different from what we have in Singapore. One of the things I love about travelling is checking out new flavors of familiar products. It’s true that they can’t have one standard set of flavours across the world (imagine local china…

Bye Great Wall! :( I asked the taxi driver to take me to another nearby attraction called Hong Luo Temple. Hong Luo means Red Snail. So the temple is actually called Red Snail Temple. I don’t know how true this is, but…

My Chinese Adventure – Part Two A (Beijing)

The Great Wall of China, also known as 万里长城, is a massive stretch of strong walls built from as early as 200 BC, and then rebuilt, and maintained by the rulers of each dynasty and currently being restored by the chinese government. I made my way to Mutianyu. Located at HuaiRou, this part of the Great Wall is further from Beijing but boosts better views and less crowds. I was really excited about it. This is the second section of…
