Teppanyaki Master Chef
2006/01/01
Wenfu Master Chef, a French teppanyaki restaurant, has
almost simultaneously opened two outlets in Beijing, one in the
Central Business District (CBD) and the other in Xidan. The CBD
outlet is Wenfu's flagship store in Beijing.
In Japanese, teppan means an iron plate or a steel sheet, and
yaki means stir-fried food or stir-frying. Teppanyaki involves
stir-fried meat and vegetables cooked and eaten off a large,
tabletop grill. It is a mouth-watering form of cuisine which
continues to increase in popularity as adaptations are made to
suit local tastes. During its 200-year history, this form of
tabletop cooking has developed into a highly refined and
beautiful form of expression, characterized by an intricate
combination of presentation and knife skills.
When teppanyaki was exported to Taiwan, people on Taiwan mixed
it with Chinese and French cuisines, such as finger food, thus
the French teppanyaki Wenfu serves.
Wenfu always presents top-notch food, such as Japanese
Matsusaka beef, Russian black caviar and French goose liver.
What's more, to meet the demand of nearby white-collar workers,
customers can also enjoy Sumatra Mandheling, Jamaican Blue
Mountain, Colombian coffee and the like at teatime. The best
red wine at the restaurant is the 1982 Currades de
Lafite.
Perhaps more surprising, the waiters and waitresses can serve
you using the English, French or Japanese languages. Joining
the restaurants master chefs is a young woman chef who is also
skilled in cooking and communication.
A la carte lunches generally start at 150 yuan per diner, with
dinner at 300 yuan. Guests in private rooms can enjoy excellent
set menus, priced from several hundred yuan to 2,500 yuan per
diner.
