Dinner with Chen

Our friend Chen from the US was in town and we went out to dinner with himafter going to see his University.  This was our first time eating Beijing
Roast Duck, and it was fantastic.  The duck would literally melt in your
mouth.  In addition to the duck, we also had some of the best dumplings I
have ever had.  Chen agreed that they were the best he had ever had as
well, which is saying something.  In addition, I get to thank Chen for
adding shark fin soup with sea cucumber to my list of interesting foods I
have eaten.  I have to admit, given the fact that sea cucumbers basically
just sift crap out of the sand for food, I was a little uneasy,  but it was
very good soup.  Thank you Chen for introducing us to new foods.   We also
had a shrimp wrapped in these things akin to miniature french fries.  It
was equally as awesome.  Chen noted that this was one of the premier
restaurants in Beijing.  It gets my recommendation, that is for sure.
