Bebbis Restaurant

On March 7th, Maggie, Lucy, Rex, Jack and me went to Bebbis restaurant which has wonderful Swiss food. This restaurant is at Xinjiekou. We selected a Swiss restaurant because Bebbis restaurant is a unique combination of “Happiness, Fun and Food”. It offers relaxed atmosphere and delightful food in a typical Swiss surrounding.

We attended Bebbis Restaurant at 1pm. We felt warm and comfortable atmosphere because of the typical European style of decoration and wooden furniture. The environment was quiet because there were a few guests at there on Saturday. It didn’t look like a restaurant, it looked like a western steading. There is a curt milch cow in front of the Bebbis restaurant.

We had no idea to decide which one when we saw a variety of Swiss and other Swiss food. The service also was good, waiter and waitresses were polite and patient to guests. They introduced each taste of different Swiss food and told us the history and character about Swiss food. That was amazing.

I like Farmer Roesti and Hawaii Roesti. The Farmer Roesti is a roesti with fried bacon and pork sausage, baked with cheese and topped with a fried egg. I enjoy fondue specialties as well as a rich offer of genuine typical European food. The Hawaii Roesti is a roesti with ham and pineapple backed with melted cheese, it is sweeter than Farmer Roesti.

Our aim was not only enjoying Swiss food, but also learning about Swiss culture from this lunch. We study the differences between Chinese and Swiss culture, both them are unique. French cookery has a combination of European food, I can find out Swiss own cookery’s style.

I really enjoy it with my friends!

On December 21st, we selected a French restaurant to have a lunch with grade 12 mentors, La Table De Mr. Eiffel at Nanjing Road. We chose this restaurant because the French food is famous around of the world and it has a long history, we also had personal reason that is this restaurant belongs to our classmate Hugo’s mother who comes from France.

We attended at 11 O’clock, the atmosphere was so quiet and gentle. There are a lot of photographs and paintings about the construction or sceneries of Pairs around the walls. The appearance style is both eastern and western: the table, chairs, tableware are French modern styles; the wall lobby is painted with Chinese dragon; the ceiling of hall is decorated by Chinese traditional pattern. Especially, the French tableware are mainly forks and knives and they use different kinds knifes during different dishes, but the Chinese tableware is mainly chopsticks. On the table, there are three glasses: The left one is for drinking Cabernet; the middle one is for drinking white wine; and the right one is for drinking champagne.

In the past, the French food gave me a mistaken impression that their food was heavy and complicated. In fact, The French cuisine is simple; it relies on high quality and fresh ingredient. In addition, French food has commonly four dishes which are salad, soup, main dish and dessert. Between two dishes, we need to wait for a long time.

The first dish was fruit salads which are cucumber, small tomatoes, and lettuces. The second dish was pumpkin soup with Crisp skin. This soup was salty and sweet. The third dish was grilled chicken and duck with baked potatoes. They were very toothsome. The last dish was apple pie, it was sweet and tasty.

Our goal was not only enjoying French yummy food, but also learning about French culture from this lunch. We know the difference between Chinese culture and French culture, both them are unique. French cookery has variety, creative and exquisite, relying on French colorful, romantic culture and French polite manners.

I had a great time at there.
