A Mystic Experience: Lamas in Beijing Second Part
As far as the Lama´s Temple was the first Temple I had visit during my days in China, I was so excited with the experience and talking about it with some of my coworkers, one of them, Zoe, told me about a Tibetan Restaurant very good where she even known part of the staff, so we went there one night.
Tibetan Restaurant
Just getting inside, was completely like travelling to another world. The decoration, the music, the cloth the staff was wearing… wow!
Guess what! At the entrance it was a Prayer Wheel! Oh yes! I made it to run! :D
To select the food was so difficult, but I always like to try the food of other cultures, so finally I just let Zoe to choose the more typical things.
The first thing I got was the Yak Chas Tea, made with yak butter, tea and salt… this is a quite typical drink in Tibet. I´m afraid I didn´t like it… maybe it´s the kind of savors you should have the custom of taste them to enjoy them, so, I´m not saying it´s not good, just that wouldn´t be something I´ll drink again.
The different dishes we had were really good, you can have an idea of them here:
As I mentioned, Zoe was friend of part of the staff, so in a moment she ask the Chef to come to our table and to explain me how to cook Tibetan food… :$ Oki, I had hear the explanation and even recorder it in a video… but no, I haven´t try to do it by my own! ;P
There it was a special food offering chest:
