It was Saturday, and apart from going to eat at Lao Mo in the afternoon, there were no other plans. The brother and sister simply started studying after lunch as usual.
Xu Manman was thinking about Yang Yang's cream cake, so she urged Chen Ming to pack up and leave at four o'clock.
Take the bus to Xizhimen Street, and you can see the majestic Beijing Exhibition Hall from afar. Compared with other buildings in Beijing, it is closer to modern buildings of later generations.
When you arrive at the door of the restaurant, you will be overwhelmed by its grandeur. It is indeed one of the most prestigious restaurants of this era.
Entering the restaurant through the revolving wooden door, the spacious hall, the snowflake dome, the pillars reaching the ceiling, the dining tables covered with white tablecloths, the high wooden chairs, and the diners' respectable attire all highlight the style of this restaurant.
She and Chen Ming had both seen the world in Hai City, and they had specially changed into more decent clothes today.
Xu Manman wore a white shirt with a lotus leaf collar and a light yellow knitted cardigan. Although she was not wearing a skirt, she was wearing a pair of black straight-leg pants that fit her perfectly. Paired with a pair of high-heeled leather shoes, her legs looked straight and long.
In addition to her outfit, she also put some thought into her hair today. Half of it was draped behind her, with a little bangs in the front, and a decorative pearl headband on the top of her head.
Chen Ming also wore a white shirt with black pants, and a black and white striped knitted vest over the shirt. All the clothes were designed by Xu Manman, and he looked straight and energetic.
Although their attire today was not conspicuous among the many diners, it was not enough to attract people's attention.
Sure enough, the waiter who handed us the menu was very nice.
Chen Ming fully trusted his cousin when it came to food and took the initiative to hand over the right to order dishes.
"Manman, order whatever you want to eat."
Xu Manman looked at the menu, and the dishes recommended by Yang Yang were clearly visible. However, she still asked the waiter, "Hello, do you have any recommended dishes or seasonal dishes here?"
The waitress was stunned when she heard this. She saw that the two people's every move was so natural and thought they were regular customers. She didn't expect that this was their first time.
Regardless of what he was thinking, the experienced waiter quickly responded, "Our borscht, sardines in tomato sauce, fried pork cutlet, and steak are all popular dishes. As for dessert, our most popular one is the cream cake."
Xu Manman nodded and flipped through the menu to start ordering. "For the cold dish, I want an assorted cold snack and sardines in tomato sauce. For the main course, I want a piece of bread with butter and cheese.
For soup, I ordered borscht and cream of chicken and mushroom. For hot dishes, I ordered French fried pork chop and braised beef. For the main course, I ordered assorted egg fried rice.
For dessert, I ordered a cream cake and a cold coffee with ice cream.
Oh, and I want a cream cake to take away. Please pack it for me at the end."
She and Chen Ming ordered different dishes, so that when they get together, they can eat a wider variety of dishes.
The waiter wrote them down one by one, and finally asked, "Do you need any drinks?"
Xu Manman thought about it. She had only ordered a cold coffee, so another one wouldn't be a problem. "Forget about the wine, do you have Coke?"
"some."
"Bring me a bottle of Coke, two glasses, and ice."
"Okay, please wait."
Chen Ming sat opposite, waiting quietly for Xu Manman to finish ordering the dishes without expressing any opinions.
After the waiter left, he leaned over and said, "This place is very different from the Red House."
"Of course. French food is the main food over there, while Russian food is the main food here. There are more seafood varieties over there, while here we only have one or two kinds of seafood, and most of the food is meat."
The two discussed the differences in cuisine and architectural styles of different countries, and then the murals on the wall.
I didn't stop until the food was served.
The two of them didn't use knives and forks much, but they were not unfamiliar with each other. They were so immersed in the food that they had no time to chat.
After the hot dishes came up, Chen Ming consciously cut half of the steak and put it on his cousin's plate. Xu Manman also reciprocated, but the soup could not be shared. Xu Manman drank cream of mushroom soup and Chen Ming drank beetroot soup.
It has to be said that this restaurant is famous not only for its grand decoration, but also for its delicious dishes. Although it is not as good as Space Kitchen, it is still above four stars.
Although the food here is not like French food where you get a new plate for each meal, you still have to eat Western food slowly.
The two of them finished the dishes on the table and a glass of ice cola, and then slowly ate the dessert.
Xu Manman felt that she couldn't give up the cream cake and coffee ice cream, and finally ordered another portion of both for her cousin.
