On Thursday the 25th Dec, the four of us went to have dinner at the Intercontinental Hotel here in Dalian. The meal was a buffet, and frankly superb. Turkey imported from the US, lots of sea food (being Dalian of course) and lots of authentic western food. The service was excellent, the waiting staff smiled lots, a Chinese Santa Clause rang a bell and brought everyone a small present of biscuits and sweet things, the buffet was served by staff who didn’t look too bored when they weren’t serving and with a smile when they were. The only disapointment for me was the lack of an affordable bottle of wine. I was hoping that some alcohol would be included in the price, but unfortunately not. I was sad to see so few people attending they cannot have come close to covering their costs, as the decor was great, the atmosphere was pleasant, comfortable, and felt safe: truly great compared with the area.
