BEIJING, April 1 -- After a long day of activities I couldn't get more excited when my colleague informs me that tonight's meal is going to be something far from the ordinary.
Entering the beautifully decorated dining room a couple of dishes have already been put out to amaze the guests and prepare them for what's coming up. That plan surely has a tremendous success as everyone gathers to enjoy the view of these remarkable handcrafts, because that's exactly what these dishes are.
Not only is the pumpkin carved out to form the shape of a dragon. This dinner also happens to be thoroughly planned out to go with ten popular sceneries from the famous West Lake, including the famous legend of the snakes.
The creator as well as chief enters proudly to present the plates and their meaning whilst I'm working hard on my mandarin listening skills. The dishes are based on the one and only thing Chinese people might drink more than rise wine, tea. I have to admit myself being a bit skeptical to the whole concept as the meal carries on. I was astonished by the appearance of the food, but unfortunately my past experiences have been the more I desire something, the less satisfaction I get when the word is out. These dishes managed to break that curve when turning out to be very refreshing. I finally found some new flavors to add to the Chinese cuisine, since my craving for dumplings seem to have expired after eight months of gluttony.
Fish mixed with tea leaves, chicken soup accompanied by the same seasoning, these actually make great duets. Mini sculptures of bridges and people all contribute to transform each plate into a story, stories that I just don't want to put an end to. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm so extremely hungry that is.
