Beijing 290305c: Chow time!

End of first day in Beijing, and our local friends give us a treat - a halal steamboat dinner.
Pic 1 shows the interior of restaurant. Note the typical Chinese khat (dua kalimah syahadat, brader!) above the mirror shielding the entrance to the kitchen. Forget the tacky ceiling decoration - must be a Chinese New Year left-over.
Pic 2 is my fave - rolled beef slices ready to be dipped into the steamboat. I lost count how many I devoured! The sauce that comes with it is unique - tastes like kuah satay at times.
Pic 3 is the entrance of the restaurant. More khat, but I have no clue what it says!
Damage done: 240 yuan (less than RM120) for 7 people. Thoroughly recommended for Beijing visitors.
