Beijing - Soloist, The Perfect Cafe

This is the third and my most favorite cafe on this trip. I took so many photos at this cafe that I decided it need a post on it owned... Some of the photos are taken in black and white it give a more feel to it...

Beijing - Cafe The Secret Hide Out

The best place to hide out from the overcrowded street in Beijing is finding those little cafe hiding in some alley or behind the wall in Hutong ...

Here are some of the shortlisted cafe made by Xin Yi on her discovery of Beijing...

1) I don't know the name of this cafe... but we call it No to everything because they have a tag line 'If don't like it pls feel free to leave'  

Love the carpet of Beatles famous photo on the wall

Such quite peaceful way to spend the afternoon

Inside the chic modern cafe looking out into old Beijing 

First perfect taste of latte we have in China 

2) This is the second cafe we visited, it is call Meishu 美树. This is like the best kept secret in Beijing and I hope no one ever find out.... because in here it seem like it is a million mile away from all the noise and overcrowding street in Beijing.

Fitting for the name the cafe is fill with different pot of  plants 

Spending a perfect afternoon in this serene environment  

Another perfect view

China Xian - Muslim Quarter

A different culture and a different feel of ambient....The Muslim Quarter  is a street full of vibrant sight, taste and smell...

A very Chinese architecture built as Mosque

The Mosque made of  all wood... 

I think is the Winter light that make beautiful ambient in the market place 

Shanghai Xitang 上海 西塘 EAT DRINK PLAY FUN

Nothing special can be said about the food in Xitang. Most are the typical type u find in chinese restaurant Chicken Fish Pork Vege but one thing for sure as Teng mom put it the chicken have chicken taste, vege have vege taste. As for my second luv coffee it was a big big disappointment. Most cafe interior is beautiful and creative but the coffee itself is totally tasteless and way over price. In fact everything in Xitang is way over price....






This is our typical dinner dishes. The chicken taste great, the fish is suppose to be Xitang specialty but I think Malaysia cook it better and lastly is the lamb soup with dumpling.






This was our breakfast, the wanton is call mini wanton, believe me when I say u need a magnifying glass to find the meat....














这儿 is the name of this cafe.... beautiful interior but bad coffee.....








This is the second cafe. It is name after my bestie 叶小姐的咖啡. I luv the old movie poster decorating the wall.














This is the last cafe. However we didn't drink but still went in because of it unique interior. This is a shop that specialised in anything and everything to do with post mail...


Last but not least a bottle of traditional chinese wine....
