This was my very FIRST elite only event and oh boy.... they just set the bar wayyyy up there ! As Kris warned us - don't expect other events to be like this. I still can't believe I got into this event and I'm very grateful to be able to attend this. Once again I would love to give a big THANK YOU for Kris and staffs at QJD Peking Duck for organizing this amazing night for us.
It was a lovely evening with only 20 elites in a family oriented dining experience. The " family" vibe was definitely going around with laughters, cheers and endless conversations. It was a great way to meet new people who also love food just like myself!
Just by the way Christina and Jeff were describing the restaurant, I can feel they thrive for top notch service and delivers the best quality of food to their customers. At one point I felt like I was taking a Chinese history class but about food obviously. They even mentioned about following old traditional recipes which they are still using in some dishes. Not only that but they bring chefs and sous chefs from Beijing in order to keep the food authentic. WOW!
The food portions were huge, I barely made it through the last few dishes. Opps ... I kind of ate a little before the event. My TOP two dishes would be....
Tornado salad - LOVE the fried taro it added a nice crunch element to the dish. Yes, the butterfly on top was edible!!! Salad dressing also had some spiciness! Love it !
The jaw dropping Peking duck - this is by far the best Peking duck I ever had ! Not only did it look STUNNING but it tasted just as stunning as it looks!
Thanks again for having me! I had a fun evening and it was nice to meet other yelpers !!
We can't forget our celebrity moment! We had 4 photographers kept snapping picture of us. Just make sure you take my good side! ^^
