Stairway to love...

We've found our fail safe eatery.

For $A8, I had bacon and eggs on toast, a pineapple juice (bu bing=no ice) and a black coffee.

AND, I lived to tell the tale!

We also had some great pizzas and a pot of jasmine tea there on Friday.

We were warned about the food here and that it isn't hard to get sick, so it's exciting to find a place where we can successfully eat food from the "risky" list ie: eggs.

We've had a few banquet-style meals put on by BOCOG and one by Newcastle Uni's Chinese Alumni.

These have been amazing.

It's given everyone a chance to visit restaurants that we otherwise wouldn't have known about.

The Alumni lunch was held in an incredible restaurant hidden away from uninitiated eyes in a dirty alley.

Everything I put in my mouth was spectacular.

This was up there with the best fish I've ever eaten!

We also ate at one of the world's best Peking duck restaurants.

The chef slices each duck into over 90 slices.

Absolutely amazing food.
