365 China Photo: One-A-Day

My company’s CEO, Charlie Wrench was in town, visiting our Hong Kong and Beijing office. As one of the newest and smallest offices in the Landor network it was good for our staff to get to meet him. After the usual meetings and work reviews we took him out to Da Dong restaurant for a company lunch. As Charlie likes Peking Duck, we took him to the newest and swankiest Da Dong which just happens to be at Jinbao Place, across the road from our office. As the guest of honour the waitress showed Charlie the three different ways to eat Peking Duck and I think he was impressed by the service. It reminded me of the famous line from the James Bond movie, You Only Live Twice. When Sean Connery is lying in bed with a Chinese girl called Lin.

James Bond: Why do Chinese girls taste different from all other girls?
Ling: You think we better, huh?
James Bond: “No, just different. Like Peking Duck is different from Russian Caviar. But I love them both.
Ling: Darling, I give you very best duck.

Well I think Charlie had some of the best Peking Duck he had ever tasted and he even offered to pay. So it was good having our CEO in town, especially when he picks up the tab. Thanks Charlie
