Describe a cafe or a restaurant you visited and liked.
you should say:
where it is
when you went there
what it looks like
and explain why you like this cafe or restaurant.
Well, the topic really got me because there are so many good restaurants out there that I simply don’t know how to choose. So I guess I’ll just talk about a restaurant that I visited last month.
In the National Holiday I went to Xiamen to visit one of my childhood friends who is now studying at Xiamen University. The first day I arrived, he strongly recommended that we go to this small café near the school campus. To be frankly, I was a little disappointed at his plan coz I have googled some of the best restaurants in town before the trip, and I was expecting that he would take me to one of them.
The moment we got there, I knew I was wrong. The café is located up a small hill near the beach, which gives it a perfect sea view. The décor is an amalgam of unity and simplicity. You see, almost everything is white: the walls, the pillars, the floor, the furniture, the tableware, the waiter’s uniform, even the menu, which is actually an ipad. Shades and shadows are created by the specially-designed lighting which brings depth and contrast to break the monotony of the background.
The food is just exquisite. It combines Chinese cuisine with a variety of exotic delicacies. For example, you can have the beef steak dressed with Sichuan chili sauce, or the Kung Paw Chicken flavored with Indian herbs.
Most of the recipes are invented by the chef named Apollo, who have lived in Xiamen for 7 years. He likes travelling, and he loves to replicate the exotic food he tasted during the trips in his kitchen so that everyone can enjoy it without actually going there.
The restaurant is absolutely amazing. And I’ll definitely go there again the next time I travel to Xiamen.
