A surprise beautiful night,The only problem is i eat too much.

A friday dinner with my friend turns out to be a surprise beautiful night!The only problems is i eat too much! O:)

This place still not yet discovered by too many people, so we have the entire second floor just for two of us, enjoy a lot of privacy.

Firstly, we had a non alcoholic strawberry yoghurt drink touched off with a sliver of mint leaf, all rather salubrious for a Friday evening.

As an appetizer we started with the “tree flower” or shuhua which we were told came from Sichuan and was a real layer of color, reminiscent of a Brazlian toucan.

Accompanying this was purple sweet potato soup with a swirl of cream . I lapped this up in less than a minute and almost started eating the saucer it certainly got my tail a wagging.

Then for the main when the dish hit my table I was well imnpressed. The tenderloin beef served medium rare delicately dipped in a not too overbearing pepper sauce, with potato mash and onions at the base, alongside a line of pesto sauce and roasted cherry tomatoes

My companion for the evening had a zesty smoked tuna served over diced mango, alongside broccoli and cauliflower. The broiled vegetables were bagged in what appeared to be white fungus which I know are very good for you.

When it came to desserts we were served the home made Valentina Tiramisu, This home style treat was really exquisite thanks to the addition of a little brandy.

Pulling my self off the sofa like some bamboo stuffed panda I waddled over to view some of the work on display.The price is very resonable too. with all, For two only around 380 rmb.

Most valued CBD organic set lunch
With a group of friends, we try a lot of set lunches in CBD, with coming spring. a lot of ladies want to lose weights, so we decide to try their organic set lunch,as seafood lover, they are promoting their see bass which is 58 rmb something in main menu, but now only 38 i can get it with a cup of coffee. why not! sounds like a good deal! my girl friends order their italian style vege pizza with cheese cake and soup together 59. Taste is not bad with some organic uba(purple potato in kFC) I really like.my girlfriend like pizza too. with not too many people, we go to their upstaire, whic is much better than downstaire. For people who like more heathy choice, i think it is a great choice, hope they can keep this good price!

A ray of sunshine! not perfect but cute!
O:) I saw a lot of their funky ad with new arty organic fusion bistro in CBD new "798", which is not too far from me and new burnt out CCTV tower. So I decide to make trip for new CCTV tower and their organic Sunday brunch..
Firstly, I am a bit surprised that a hidden arty factory loft in CBD center which I passed by several times but never notice and check in. For me it is a little bit French style with a lot of gallery and design studio inside. They call themselves cable 8, because that was a cable factory before, you can see some big cable still there. After a tour, I reach solaire, it is not that luxury and magnificent, but homey and cute, what I like most is you can enjoy a lot of sunlight in morning, especially upstairs. The buffet is not hotel style big, but fresh green and healthy. I like their organic yoghurt with a happy face design on the top, the main course included but orders separately, I try their lamp chop with truffle. Indeed delicious. To be critical, their service can be improved, sometime a bit slow, but for Sunday afternoon it is ok. I find some W fashion magazines brought from abroad by their owner. With some jazz music and tea I relax in their sofa until 4 clock.
So, it is a good hangout places with friends for an arty trip. I will bring my designer friends there next time.
