Winnie’s Liked Places

Winnie: THE WHITE SAUCE WITH THE STEAK MEAL IS FOR DIPPING. You dip the steak into it. Do@not pour it over your salad like dressing and do not drink it like soup!

Winnie: Strong and yummy cocktails. Perfect for dodging the rain. Recommend the lychee martini

Winnie: Only 10 yuan to enter. Totally worth it! There is also a kids art studio to the right. Bring your kids!

Winnie: Located in the basement of the Yintai Center by Starbucks

Winnie: The shrimp in the shrimp dumplings are the freshest in all of Beijing

Winnie: Very clean. Free towels and water.

Winnie: Delicious burgers, onion rings, and Mac and cheese. Great service with waitresses who speak English. Takes around 45 minutes if you are eating before a movie

Winnie: Visited the lobby bar. Friendly and great service. Around 90 yuan for a glass of prosecco.

Winnie: Clean and friendly McDonald's. Open 24/7! If you can't speak Chinese, use the menu sheet behind the register and point on that instead of pointing on the menu on the wall

Winnie: Go on the paddle boats (60 yuan/hour for 4 people boat and 80 yuan/hour for 6 people boat as of July 2015) and take the large dragon boats for 15 yuan per one way trip! Best way to explore the palace

Winnie: It is SO big. Definitely try the paddle boats and instead of walking to each corner of the palace, take the boats! It's 15 yuan for one way. The further corners are quieter with less people

Winnie: Food is okay. The appetizer sampler was okay. I would recommend eating dinner at the other yummy restaurants in the mall and coming here for dessert.

Winnie: How to order: take a sheet at the front by the cashier, check off ones you want, pass to cashier, sit and wait. There is an English version if you can't read Chinese!

Winnie: Located in the basement of the Yintai building by Starbucks

Winnie: Delicious pork buns!

Winnie: Free wifi (id: fenjitea // pw: fenjitea) and it's really fast! Great for working. Outlets everywhere and extremely comfy chairs

Winnie: Has free wifi. Password is on the table

Winnie: The best restaurants are on a street through the left side of the mall! There is a movie theater there as well

Winnie: Really nice outdoor seating. Tables outside fill up faster than tables inside

Winnie: No English movies when I came inJuly 2015 so I watched a movie with English subtitles. I bought 2 full price non-VIP tickets for 180 yuan total. Got 2 free Haagen dazs and a bottle of red wine

Winnie: The breakfast is delicious. Order the waffles and pancakes. Robin is a great waiter. Great food and great service overall.

Winnie: Get only the rum raisin topping. One of the employees recommended it, and rum raisin is now my favorite

Winnie: Pasta was ok too

Winnie: Very authentic Peking duck. They give you the rest of the duck T the end of the meal. Also, don't get this duck dessert. It looks cute, but tastes bad.

Winnie: Delicious dim sum and food! Dim sum is available 24 hours! Not cold drinks except beer... Only hot water. Also, bathroom is on the second floor.
