Laura Manning told me I really need to get my but to Xin Tian Din and enjoy myself. I took her advice and went to the big collection of remodeled old buildings that is now a swanky 2 blocks of foreign restaurants: Italian, Spanish, Wolfgang Puck, Haagen Das ice cream, etc.
In fact, the demolition of these old buildings had already been planned when an architect convinced them to remodel them instead. That was around the year 2000. It has been a huge success and expats and Chinese flock here. If you go to Wikipedia or a travel site and look up Xin Tina Din you can read more about this.
It was 70 degrees and slightly overcast. I sat outside at the Bottega Mozzarella Bar and had this. Totally off the healthy diet but very good!
