A full vegetarian dinner... At Last...

Hey Everybody, I am back. This time with another interesting episode of how all of us went to have some vegetarian food in Beijing. I took my team (yes, the same lovely team of mine...) to our weekly dinner (yes, we go out to have dinner as a team at least once a week...) We went to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant. What is so great about having dinner at a Chinese restaurant in China, you might ask. The most interesting part of this dinner was that it was at a vegetarian restaurant. Yes, a vegetarian restaurant at a meat loving country. All of us (actually, everybody in the team) were in the mood to try something different today. Also, there was this invitation to buy dinner for the team from our old good friend Deepu who was moving into a new role within Reuters in Bangalore. So, off we went to have some nice new variety of food. Eventhough, we normally finish our dinner by half past seven, we were delayed today as we had to do some grocery shopping and we didnt get to visit the restaurant until half past 8. When i got the menu, i was so amazed to see the different varieties and the number of options available in terms of vegetarian food. And also there were these mock meat items (basically items that look like meat but are made of vegetables) like mock fish, chicken etc. We ordered a lot of food as everyone was very hungry and ate till we were filled to our throats. If you thought this was fun, then the real fun started afterwards... We started pulling each other's legs... Started with Kevin, the sweetheart... He was unusually silent and so i decided that it was time for me to start with him... We talked about Indian beauties and how Kevin would enjoy in India... and moved across the table and didnt leave anyone out... We continued that for another half hour when i could teach them some more Hindi... All in all another wonderful dinner... It was lovely as always... :) More fun to come over the weekend... Hope that i am able to write in more then... For now... All of you enjoy this... n Bye...
