Blueberry pastry, mochi, dragon fruit, pomelo, watermelon. Complimentary in Executive Lounge

Even the pastries and fruit were better at the Renaissance compared to Hilton properties. Maybe I should really consider switching loyalty programs…
Pan fried garlic chicken wings, chicken skewer, deep fried spring roll. ¥58
Cafe Sambal, Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK)
This was throw-away food – disgusting! Everything on this plate was super dry and tough, and actually flavorless. I don’t expect flavorless from fried food, but Cafe Sambal managed to accomplish it. The chicken was especially inedible.
Cooked for 6 hours, pumpkin and truffle. ¥80
El Willy, Shanghai CHINA
These tender cheeks were placed atop a fried roll of some kind and surrounded by soft polenta. The flavors were great and the beef wonderfully cooked.
