Chongli, China. 2011


As soon as we walked into this restaurant I suspected it might become my favourite restaurant in the world. It was warm (at least 0C; outside was -20), tastefully decorated (velvet teddy bear cushions adorned the seats) and hygienic (there were not that many plasters or fag ends on the floor). But it had the world's smiliest staff and truly delicious food at obscenely low prices, and the best part was when, after eating there several times, I didn't get ill. Five stars.
