what kind of prices are we talking here? I here beijing is cheaper compared to shanghai. nice restaurant usually means around 100RMb per person without drinks. can i expect less in beijing?

Trendy fusion chinese retaurants are usually that price. I was thinking of People seven in shanghai in particular. Decent Decor and interesting entrance procedure. i recommend you try it when in shanghai.

Good japanese places are usually 250RMB per person though.

to be honest i never went to a 'western' restaurant in china unless you count paulaners or diner style burger joints....I can make a good pasta at home so all the Italian places are pointless.

But salt sounds promising.

It's gourmet popcorn!

And I bet the portions are stingy, like most of those places.

Hmmm... am I up the challenge of spending my money in your trendy new restaurant?

That depends.

How much is the popcorn?

Aren't you the person who BASHED and BASHED and BASHED the Pavillion and its owner? Then, long after the thread was dead, you resurrected it several times just to BASH away at it some more?

Now you're SPAMMING and SPAMMING and SPAMMING the new Salt restaurant owned by some of the Pavillions biggest competitors?

Interesting. You'd think that they'd have more sense than to recruit you to do promotion. Or that you'd have the sense to get a new username before beginning your spamathon.

I found that the best idea is usually the opposite of what you suggest.

p.s. SALT is the worst name I've ever heard for a restaurant. Just gives me this idea of salt being doused all over everything. Poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor choice. I think I'll stick with the Pavillion instead.

I've never been to a gourmet popcorn restaurant before.

It's not that microwaved crap is it? I might shell out some cash for JiffyPop. Do you use real melted butter by any chance?
