| - Returned last night with a large party, and dined in one of the private rooms. The service was much improved over my first visit, whether this was doe to the special room or not I don't know. The duck was every bit as delicious as before, and the pancakes, notably, were exceptional, a bit thicker and heartier, didn't stick at all, and we had no problem securing additional ones. Stand out dishes were the tofu with crab roe, a delightful soup really, that made one colleague, from Shanghai nostalgic about home (and very happy). We also had Ru Zhu, a Beijing hot pot with various pig organs - lung, liver, tripe, kidney. Not for everybody for sure but a super dish,deep funky flavour but in a good way. Peking style lamb was just as good as visit #1, as were the roasted duck bones. The country style tofu was delectable as well. Shredded Pig ears were a great cold dish, just the right amount of crunch. My only complaint was that all the food -- and I am not mentioning about six other dishes -- came out all at once and overcrowded the lazy susan.
