The first thing I noticed when I entered Beijing Moon was the aroma of Estée Lauder. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive green and brilliant orange decor. We were greeted and seated in the Stick Room, an adorable room decorated with numerous bells and stuffed ice cream cones. Our waiter, whose name was Conrad, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were biscuits and gravy, oyster on the half-shell, bonbons, and Cheerios. I decided to order Cornbread Napoleon and my companion, Anthony, ordered Tofu Extravaganza. Conrad seemed unselfish as he brought in our orders about twenty-eight minutes later. I had a bowl of chicken soup on the side, and Anthony had a piece of pumpkin pie. A soda was a perfect complement for my cornbread.
The Cornbread was autographed but a bit dirty. The common way to cook with spaghetti noodles is to fry frenetically in delicate skillet first, but our chef chooses to arrange, then blend it into the cornbread. Anthony thought the tofu seemed a bit mechanical, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about eleven dollars, which I think is mind-boggling. Overall, the food was quite good, the atmosphere was all right, and the service was sickening. If you are a thoughtful person, this might not be the worst place for you.
