義和园清真餐厅

It felt quite rare to be able to have a quiet meal in a private room for only 98 yuan. Outside the window was an old alley, with the occasional sound of bicycle bells. The dishes were served slowly, and time seemed to slow down as well.

The group-buying set meal was a great deal, and the portions were generous. The spicy chicken pieces really surprised me; each piece was incredibly substantial, with a satisfyingly meaty texture, not dry at all. The quiet spot by the window made for a comfortable meal to enjoy alone.
