Yunnan Restaurant
After work today Calle and I joined with Liew and he took us to Beijing’s fashionable area. It was a bit tricky to get there because the Taxis seemed to not want to pick us up for some reason. We tried for 10-15 minutes outside our Beijing office, with several free taxis passing by without wanting to pick us up π
So we walked to our hotel (15 minutes) and got rid of out bags. Then tool a taxi from the hotel instead. Once at the fashionable area we had a quick visit to a real (yes they have those too) Apple Store where I used the free Internet access π
But our visit here was not for the Apple Store but for dinner. Liew had reserved a table at a Yunnan restaurant. It had a lot of awards for being the best Yunnan restaurant in the area. It was very yummy!
Review of Piren Bar
Helena, as we talked about when we had dinner at MΓΒ€ster Anders the other day, we promised to let you know how Piren Bar was after our visit there. For short, you do not need to visit!
The food is only OK, and you would expect something more for that price. The desert, a rhubarb pie with vanilla ice cream was a real disappointment – it was a rhubarb compote topped with pieces of cardamom rusk (kardemummaskorpor). Cold. I had expected a yummy hot delicious rhubarb pie directly from the oven with melting creamy vanilla ice cream on top.

We had a visit to Mancini at Tunnelgatan as well. It is in the same price range but much better experience, if you like Italian food. The food was excellent and you could feel the personnel loved Italian food and were proud of working at Mancini, whereas at Piren Bar the service was not bad but you felt the personnel did not really care if they worked there or at any other restaurant in Stockholm.
Devi Corner
This week we have had visitors from Lund and Beijing in the office. Tonight was their last night and we went our for dinner together.
Indian food at Devi Corner not far from the Shinagawa station. Really nice food and I ate a lot π
Il Lupone
After returning from Shiga Kogen I went straight back home. Just waiting for Chie to return so we could go out for dinner.
We went to Il Lupone not far from home and had a delicious Italian dinner π
