chlale: Beef and Biscuits in Beijing

OK, so maybe we didn't find a Beef and Biscuits in Beijing, but we did find a place that sure knows how to cook the beef: 拉丁餐厅。

This place is Brazilian barbecue at it's best! All the meat you could ever desire to eat in one sitting: top sirloin, bottom sirloin, lamb, chicken, and lots of things that Americans would never willingly put into their mouths.

Aside from the meat feast they offer a large food bar filled with potatoes, rice, soups, pasta, bread and more. And if that wasn't enough there is even a sushi bar. But don't eat too much because you want to save room for the desert: ice cream, cakes, pies, pastries, etc. So how much did this set our family back today? For a family of four were we able to eat for $23.38. Did I mention that this included the drinks and live Latin entertainment?

I don't know which is better, the price, the food or the fact that this restaurant is just a block away from the church we attend on Sundays. After a meal like that we are planning on spending the rest of the day inside. We've just bought a couple of movies, Batman: the Dark Knight; Transformers; and Wall-E . All three of these movies cost a total $2.63. Yeah, I know, there are some great benefits to living in Beijing. It sure is great to be home! All in all we've had a great weekend. But Monday is back to school - well actually it's a national holiday so I won't be at school, instead I'll be at my favorite studying place: 星吧克咖啡 (Starbucks). Don't worry, I'm not going to be spending a lot of money; I'll just get my regular - 中被咖啡。Talk to you soon！
