Lots of good dinners, with both expats and locals @ American Peking over the last 2 decades.

I was invited to dinner there by some locals in the past. Was not all the great IMO. Place was worn in terms of decorations and the ambiance was more like roadside diner IMO. The anglo centric use of the word Peking was also offensive and reminded me about Western colonialism and all the aura of racist fuckery that accompanies it.

It was good because of the atmosphere and the people you went with. It was an institution - kinda like the old China Hand but good food it was not.

It will still be missed, tons of memories for 25 years.

Have humbly requested that Peking University change its name and cleanse itself from racist fuckery.

In the mean time, I wish I could feed trolls with some sizzling prawns.

Only went there a handful of times, but it was the closest I'd found to American Chinese food in HK. I liked the place.

Why even bother to eat out at all? All you have to do is turn your head and munch on the massive chip on your shoulder.

You still hear various people around China but non-mandarin speakers say what sounds pretty much like Peking for Beijing. Racists the lot of them.
