I was recently sitting at old and cosy Alibaba when I came across Tianjin Plus magazine. I came to live in Tianjin two years ago. I studied here for one year and then fate led me back home. One year later I decided to return to Tianjin and try my luck again in The Chinese Rose City. When I browsed your magazine I was excited to see how much the attitude within the city has changed in a mere one year! The immediate feeling I got was a thrilling sensation to be back in town and start fresh! So I kept on rambling through restaurants and attrac tions, interviews and reviews until I was gladly faced with an article on Wu Da Dao. It made me reminisce about my first time in Tianjin. Now that I know about your magazine, here stands the promise of dancing, tasting, and touring through Tianjin with new and old friends following your precious tips! Keep up the good work! Yours Sincerely, Joana Freitas Advertising Agency InterMediaChina Publishing Date October 2009 Tianjin Plus is a FREE lifestyle supplement of Business Tianjin Magazine.

5 Dining Reviews Tapas Restaurant & Bar 美滋味 Delicioso! apas, a Spanish style restaurant near Emart, Tcontinues upon the 12-year legacy of Mei Zi Wei. From an exterior view the chic patio area, resembling a French café, welcomes guests. Once inside, the half moon-shaped, leather couch hugs the interior creating a relaxed and carefree feeling. Photos of traditional Spanish cuisine decorate the walls and provide guests an indication as to what to expect. Feature items not on the menu are updated on a daily basis giving guests a new surprise every day. Some of the previously featured items, for example, include boiled cockle with sunflower and brandy, and roasted bacon and garlic butter shell. But the main allure is the 10 different daily tapas: Spanish inspired appetizers or snacks perfectly accompanied with fresh imported and domestic beers. Specials include Business Lunch with coffee and fruit for 22 RMB and Sunday Brunch from 11:00 14:00 for 42 RMB. Tapas also provides catering for special functions. Finally, Tapas dim lighting, warm colors, and sounds of the Spanishguitar delicately playing in the backdrop create a romantic ambience worthy of a first date. A3, Magnetic Plaza, Binshui Xi Dao, Nankai District 南开区宾水西道奥城商业广场 A3 The Green Village 绿色庄园 A Village of Korean Delights 11:00 22: ocated in the downtown area of Tianjin, and only a 10-minute bike ride away from Tianjin University sits one of the Lbetter Korean Restaurants of the city, The Green Village. No matter if you arrive for lunch, dinner, or an afternoon social gathering expect to wait minutes before you are seated. You will have the option of sitting classic restaurant style in chairs, or traditional Korean style on the floor. There are a wide variety of foods ranging from cold dishes, soups, authentic specialties, BBQ, and dish sets. All meals include a complementary appetizer sampler that changes with the seasons. The food here is always fresh, wonderfully presented, and at the appropriate temperature.. If ordering Pulgogi (Korean Beef BBQ), a waitress will be assigned to cook, cut, and serve the dish to your party. The service is swift, but expect to use your cell phone voice to get the waitresses attention. Menu prices range from RMB15 and up. Portion sizes are mid-ranged. For a party of two, expect to order around three dishes to be satisfied. The ambiance is very traditional and enjoyable. Due to the high number of customers, it is noisy, but at the same time there is ample space between tables to carry on a conversation at a comfortable volume. No. 22, Xihu Cun Dajie, Nankai District 南开区西湖村大街 22 号 Everyday 11:00 00: I give the food a rank of incredible. You will not be disappointed regardless of what you select. The service is pleasant. For foreigners, having to yell to get the attention of the waitress is slightly awkward, but the experience of the overall meal is not compromised. Price is reasonable considering the quality of food you will be served and the ambiance is very warm and comfortable. KUSHI GRILL 串烧 Grand opening he grand opening of the Kushi Grill was officiated Tthrough a ribbon cutting ceremony by Mr. Kjell Rognoy, General Manager of Radisson Plaza Hotel Tianjin and Mr. Murase, President of the Japanese Association in Tianjin on 3 September, Hailing from Tokyo, Japan with more than 24 years of culinary experience and specializing in Kaiseki, sushi, and seafood dishes, Chef Toshiyasu s special menu at the Kushi Grill includes superior beef sirloin with seasonal vegetables on teppanyaki, using Kobe beef from Japan. The sliced strips of beef reveal the beautiful marbling that Kobe beef is reputed for. The Kushi Grill Skewer Platter is served with a special secret sauce that explodes with different tastes coming together as one. Inspired by a Japanese Robatayaki, but offering a mix of Western and Asian delicacies, the Kushi Grill s must have signature dish is the Foie gras Chawamushi. The combination of Foie gras and steamed eggs topped with fish roe immediately melts in your mouth and is the perfect marriage between French and Japanese cuisine. The Kushi Grill sets the tone for a memorable and personalized dining experience.

The building is known as the "Knotty Building" (gē da lóu) because of its unique protruding wall structure. Upon entering the doors, one almost feels overwhelmed by the broad collection of cultural relics that are used in everything from displayed decorations to actually use. Guests are enthralled in pieces that date back 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. One of the stone relics, the treasure of the restaurant, is a Bei Wei Dynasty Buddha. Yue Wei Xian received recognition from Shanghai Big World Guinness Headquarters for having the largest quantity and variety of ancient Chinese cultural relics in a restaurant. Almost as impressive as Yue Wei Xian s distinctive environment is the cuisine. Predominately Cantonese-style food, Yue Wei Xian offers the same fine tastes and presentation as a first-class restaurant. Some of the most popular dishes include fried beef smothered in onions and garlic, the jumbo shrimp covered in a creamy sweet and spicy sauce, and Singapore-style fried turbot. No , Hebei Lu, Heping District 和平区河北路 号 11:30-14:00 17:30-22: A passionate staff provides tours and explains each relic while entertaining guests with historical stories along the way. Over the years, Yue Wei Xian has frequently been visited by celebrities who have come to experience this one-of-a-kind restaurant. Prices are a bit more expensive than other restaurants but with the opportunity to be in the presence by ancient treasures, the price is reasonable for being able to become part of history. 08 Tianjin Plus Tianjin Plus 09

Now open for more than 7 years, Alibaba s restaurant has brought traditional Indian food to Tianjin while simultaneously cultivating a loyal customer base. It is also one of the first restaurants in Tianjin to employ a foreign cook. W h e r e d i d y o u r i n t e r e s t i n managing a restaurant begin? I studied hotel management in college and then later worked a s t h e Fo o d & B e v e r a g e ( F & B ) D e p a r t m e n t M a n a g e r a t t h e Crystal Palace Hotel. It had been my dream since college to open an Indian restaurant in Tianjin. I ve always been fond of the spiciness of Indian food and after traveling to India, I felt I had a better insight into the culture and cuisine. A s G M, w h a t a r e y o u r k e y responsibilities? I s p e n d m y d a y s i n s t i l l i n g a c u s t o m e r - f o c u s e d b u s i n e s s a p p r o a c h t o e v e r y e m p l o y e e b e c a u s e I w a n t t o c r e a t e a restaurant in which guests are treated as family. I also monitor the hygiene and cleanliness of the restaurant. I even encourage guests to visit the kitchen to check the hygiene level. If they find that our restaurant isn t as clean as their own kitchen then their meal will be complimentary. But to date, no customers have made such a complaint. What do you enjoy most about your job? I enjoy making friends with my customers and teaching them about Indian culture and cuisine. As a student myself, I also enjoy learning more about the intricacies of preparing Indian food from our Indian chefs. How is the market for Indian food in Tianjin? Currently, most local people are unfamiliar with Indian cuisine and only know red and yellow curry. So I enjoy educating people about the variety of sophisticatedly spiced Indian dishes. So as more people become knowledgeable, I expect to see more local people sampling the Indian cuisine. Is there anything else you d like to share with our readers and the business community? Every two years, we bring in a new chef straight from India so we can update our restaurant with fresh ideas and flavors. This guarantees that long-term guests can always expect new dishes and tastes.

12 Nightlife Reviews Mizu Bar at Hotel Nikko 美津酒吧 Coldest Beer in Town ed tinted candles, a grand showcase of Rliquors, and a massive luminescent tube suspended from the ceiling are just some of the staples of Hotel Nikko s luxurious Mizu Bar. Mizu located on the fifth floor of Hotel Nikko offers guests and locals pleasurable soft pop music and jazz while serving an extensive range of drinks till late into the night. While many Japanese guests staying at the hotel frequent the Mizu bar, many local expats have also come to enjoy the plush couches and calm scene. Mizu Bar also advertises to have the Coldest Beer in Town. While this is debatable, their cocktail selection is arguably one of the widest in town. The Japanese manager c r e a t e d f o u r M i z u O r i g i n a l c o c k t a i l s personally. One of which is the Split Personality, a combination of grapefruit juice and liquor. Mizu s Happy Hour includes buy one get one free for all selected drinks from 5:30 8:00 pm daily. Because of the high-scale environment, Mizu commands a slightly higher price than most local bars but at the same time also offers a finer experience. Seating about 37 people, Mizu s snug surroundings are ideal for a peaceful time with a few friends or that someone special. 5F, Hotel Nikko, no. 189, Nanjing Lu, Heping District 和平区南京路 189 号天津日航酒店 5 层 Wei-Ha Pub 韦哈酒吧 Get- Set -Go 17:30-01: ext cclaimed to be one of the oldest pubs Ain TEDA, Wei-Ha undoubtedly sustains a charm of its own.
