Whale Inside Dark (Beijing)
By Johannes Van Der Tuin (bestfoodinchina.net)
Updated: 2008-08-18 14:33 ![]() Typical restaurant reviews focus on food, though here that has not been the case, because quite frankly, the food is quite forgettable. The menu is a grab bag of cooking styles crammed into a collection of set meals; a handful of individual set meals and four prix fixes designed for couples.
I chose the Prawns in Bean Sauce, Australian Beef Soft Ribs, Mushroom Chicken Soup, Refreshing Fish Soup, Happy Assorted Fried Rice, Papaya and Birds Nest Sweet Water, and a Fruit Salad. The prawns were fine and the papaya in sweet water was pleasant, but the beef soft ribs were fatty, far too tenderized, and in a mediocre black pepper sauce. The rest of the meal is hardly worth mentioning. Of course, the main reason to go to Whale Inside Dark is not the food, but the experience of eating without seeing, and here the restaurant succeeds. If you are the type of person who thinks dining in the dark sounds like an entertaining evening and might help you ‘lower your inhibitions,’ then Whale Inside Dark could be a great time. The staff is friendly and, if given advance notice, willing to help you come up with the perfect idea for a special night out, a birthday, or even a place to pop The Question. Past arrangements have included a violinist, fireworks, and even a tap dancer. However, if you are just looking for an outstanding meal at 200 Yuan per couple, look elsewhere.
