 Nepal cusine isn't what it used to be. I have dined at wonderful Japanese and Viennese restaurants, I tasted the best apple pie ala mode since my Mom's Minnesota version and experienced something I thought unattainable...Nepalese cuisine that I found just as satisfying as Thai, Indian or Chinese.

 Fanghsan, located in Beihai Park in Beijing rates as serving up the most courses I have ever had any dinner, anywhere. What were once the Tang Imperial Kitchens brought in a total of 27 courses including Empress Cixi favored Cakes, Bamboo Shoots with Crab Roe, Sharks Fin, Frog-Shaped Abalone and Stewed Deer. There are actually about 800 dishes on the menu.
27 nibbles provides a delicious test of your chopstick dexterity, although knives and forks are also de rigeur in this former royal kitchen.
