Eat With My Friends














































On January 22nd night, I had an honor to ate the India food with my friends. When we were shopping in the mall that near the Confucius Temple, there was a waiter introduced us to try this kind of food. Maybe because we did not eat India food yet, so we decided to have a try.
This restaurant named NANAK. Its environment was so nice and it has a India cooker. Before I ate India food, my reaction to this food just about curries and eats by hands. We all chose the New Delhi Set because it had a low price. This set was a dish with two different taste curries, India salad, a bowl of rice, some roast pokers, and a plain nan and a papad. At the beginning, I was confused with this meal. The waiter told us the way for eating, the important point was eat by our hands. I think the curries were so hot for me, but the Chicken Masala Curries was delicious. And the Plain Nan was crisp. The salad was vegetables salad, It used the specious condiments inside.
Finally, I think the environment and atmosphere was excellent but a little crowd. There were mostly foreigners and some Chinese that want to try it or old customers. I think its advantages were real India cooker and warm service. The waiters in there were all wore India clothes, it was so beautiful that I like it very much. Next time, I will invite my friends to there, because teenagers are all curious about all new and interesting things.

Eat with 12 mentors





























Know foreign country culture is really an important to everyone, especially to us. So we need to have a wonderful dinner with 12mentors. Our group decided to met at 6:30 at Hu Nan Road, because the restaurant we chose was very hard to found, so 12 mentors would led us to that restaurant named MY PLACE. It is a American restaurant.
After everyone came, we started us today’s plan. When we arrived there, I was surprised. Its door was very special and beautiful. The 12 mentors told us because of the lower rent for this house, so the owner that from Singapore chose this place.
We all chose the same meal. The first meal was salad with some vegetables and fruit and a dish of dry breads and butters. I guess the cook must put some special seasonings into it so that this salad has a special taste that was very delicious. The second meal was noodles. I did not eat too much because there were some pimientos and garlic in it and I can not eat hot food. Then, the third meal was some roast meat and rice. It was a pity that I can not eat hot food. So I had to give up this food. The last meal was steaks. I think the steak’s cook time was too long and it was very hard to cut and chaw.
After this meal, our group played some game in order to know us. I think the environment and service in this restaurant was very good. The people in here were always the foreigners. Next time, I think I will take my family and friends to there to invite there have a authentic foreign dinner. I think this dinner was just so so, because I am a Chinese. I think Chinese food is very different from American food. But I will to try to suit it.
