Cultural Awareness--- Go to western restaurants with my friend



On the noon of 7th in March, I ate at an Italian restaurant named “Babela’s Kitchen” with my good friend Alex. Babela is a famous Italian restaurant in Xinjiekou, and it’s on the top floor of Zhongyang Shopping Center. It is an Italian restaurant and not very expensive. I love Italian food and wanted to go shopping in that shopping center after lunch, so I chose that restaurant. Alex also agreed.


I chose pasta, chips, tofu match cheese and ice milk tea. Pasta is one of my favorite food, and it is totally different from Chinese noodle. It tastes more soft and delicious because it has special gravy. I love it very much. Tofu match cheese looked nice on the menu, so I chose it, but it was not very delicious. It tasted really strange and had strange smell .When I had a little, I didn’t want to have it any more. Italian food is totally different from the food I usually have. When we have Chinese food we often use chopsticks but for having Italian food we have to use the fork, knife and spoon. The food always has the Italian style. Italian food always loves to be the mix of more than one kind.


The environment there was really perfect. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Although there were many people there on the weekend, they did not make any noise. The atmosphere inside is fresh and warm. The temperature is high. Most of the people there were Chinese. The service there is OK. The waiters were polite, however, the food was prepared slowly because of too many people.
I recommend other people to eat at Babela. This Italian restaurant has good food and environment. I realized what different countries have different cultures. We had a great lunch at Babela.
