The Concierge, I Mean, the Cashier's Counter
After touring the mini-theme park at Suzhou Times Square I really started to get hungry. Our local friend left one of his friends to wait outside the restaurant to let us know when to come back. It has probably already been 45 minutes since we were exploring the shopping mall. I can’t believe we needed to wait that long to eat at this place, since there didn’t seem to be any other people waiting along with us. Maybe it is because we were six and they can only accommodate smaller groups? Then again, this was nothing unusual as I have seen queues for Chinese restaurants with waiting areas outside and guests given melon seeds to pass the time.
Posh Enough for You?
Anyway, we were already notified that it was okay for us to go in. From the outside the restaurant was obviously very high end. I hardly even go to this kinds of places unless of course someone pays for it. This was something like their introduction to us to Suzhou food, if there was such a thing. The restaurant looked much like a hotel’s restaurant, much glitter is used here and it is obviously meant to impress. With all this presentation, I sure hope that the food is good. We shall see.
