Speaking of Beijing's cuisine, I'm afraid that nine out of ten friends who have never been to Beijing, will come up with the Peking duck, which originated in the North and South dishes have become world-renowned famous dishes, but also every friend who comes to Beijing must taste one of the dishes. Although some friends are very questionable roast duck flavor, and more doubtful is the Beijing duck is not exclusively for foreign friends to prepare, Beijingers themselves will not eat it?
Think aside from the difficult to inherit the flavor differences caused by the people in each place of their hometown food exists only belong to their own obsession, into the long years, along with the memory of growth. Other people don't know, I am a serious roast duck lover, when I was young, the strongest record is a person ate a whole roast duck, see the degree of love, even if now crave roast duck, will not hesitate to eat.
In Beijing to eat roast duck, well known is Quanjude and cheap square, to Beijing's friends is also straight to these two places to taste. But as far as I know ah, most of the Beijing people, unless it is a feast guests feast, non-eatable duck can not be these two it, after all, with the development of the times and the rapid progress of catering, the rising star of the duck restaurants quickly rose to the top, regardless of the flavor and service are remarkable, for the long-established duck store can think about the problem is really more than a point.
Recently, I craved duck again, and chose the nearest home in Sanlihe's Beijing cuisine restaurant Jingmei Zhai to quench their thirst, very good location, in the Wanfang Shopping Center, 3rd floor. As soon as you get out of the elevator, it's as if you've traveled to the feeling of old Beijing, waiting area deep tile and gray brick walls, small tables of blue and white porcelain, Luohan chair seats, plus the old plaque, wooden frame carved small windows, living stone lions, details can be said to be very attentive.
Waiting area opposite to see an antique Tongbao Silver Village, in front of the table with a lovely and interesting very old Beijing style rabbit, the original is where the cash register.
Not yet forward waiter has been smiling to welcome out, and introduced us to quite a characteristic of the small rooms, gray walls, wooden windows, long wooden tables, like a nostalgic small courtyard.
The whole atmosphere of the restaurant is a strong old Beijing style, there is a spacious hall, gray walls carved window decorations, hung with red lanterns, aisle walls are still very much a sense of the era of posters and diplomas.

The duck cakes are served in a small cage drawer, which is thin and soft, but not easily broken, and the two small cage drawers fall together in a cute way.
The first up is a plate of peony roast duck, the waiter unveiled the insulation cover of the moment of fairy, duck meat arranged in the form of peonies, while there are ancient poems "only peony is the true color of the country, the blossoms move the capital" of the large porcelain plate, really exquisite. Roast duck a **** 16 slices, meaning ten perfect, six six big luck.
The waiter will demonstrate two roast duck package: the first package is spread out the duck cake, take a piece of skin connected to the roast duck dipped in roast duck sauce on top of the pie crust, and then take a piece of duck on the duck cake under the rice, the middle of the shredded scallions, melon strips on the first piece of roast duck, and then the left side of the pie crust to the middle of the pie crust on the right side of the pie crust on the lap and then folded can be.

京八件 store's own small snacks, with a birdcage shaped ornaments to carry up, in five layers of holding, a **** 16 pieces of small snacks. Aiwowo, donkey roll, walnut cake and so on variety is very complete. My favorite is the pea butter made in the shape of a small pumpkin and the rose-filled puff pastry, which is not too sweet and very tasty. The others are basically five kernel filling, too sweet and greasy, if there are more bean paste or date paste filling in the future, it's good.
The weather is hot, but also drank two bottles of beer, it seems to go out to eat beer is now standard, ordinary Yanjing beer, 10 yuan a bottle.
To be honest, the restaurant's service is really great, it is no exaggeration to say that this is the best service I have encountered outside the restaurant, the whole time is wearing a pink blouse, black cloth skirt of the Li beauty to serve, seated on the end of the snacks, the duck cake came up with gloves bent a little bit of duck cake tear open and stacked up, looking at the waiter has been playing with the waist feel strange embarrassed, proposed that the duck cake is a little bit more than just the duck cake. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on the price, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good deal on the price.
In the peony roast duck on the table after the eloquent explanation of the meaning, but also patiently demonstrated two kinds of roast duck package method, while wrapping the package while saying auspicious words, but also blessed every guest here. When he mentioned the eight pieces of Beijing is also a series of smooth sailing from the beginning to the ten perfect explanation, fluent, but also the whole with a smile, so that people feel comfortable and natural.
Before the meal was finished, the duck racks were already packed, first in paper bags and handbags, and then placed on the side of the seat. After eating, he helped to pack the bag carefully, and carried it to the elevator before handing it over to us. There are many other small details that make people feel at home and not embarrassed.
Overall, as a branch of Beijing cuisine opened 16 years, whether from the service or flavor, are very satisfied, the price of about 100 yuan per capita as a family gathering or family and friends dinner is also acceptable, after all, now more important than anything else to eat and comfort.
