BeiJing, used to be Peking - so we had to have the famous Peking Duck!
There are several well known Peking Duck specialty restaurants, we went to Siji Minfu. They bring you appetizers of spicy cucumbers, grapes and baked bran with mushrooms and peanuts - tasty! Then comes the roast duck carved table side with it crispy skin. You put duck in super thin pancakes with slices of cucumber, scallions, melon and sprinkle of sugar with plum sauce. Wrap like small burrito and SO YUMMY !! We also enjoyed a side of crispy baby eggplant.
When we got back to hotel we got to witness another type of dinner. Robot delivery - most of the hotels use this service for takeout deliveries to the rooms. It's so cute and sometimes they chat to you if you ride elevator with them! Love how they park themselves right infant of doors, must be tied into elevator system because they always get next one down and go right to their floor. Want to order something just so we can receive delivery. Very Jetsons! Finally ! I really want flying cars next!
