china imperial

do it yourself is the motto. it's close to fondue chinoise but stir fried.

über dem gfeller beginnt china

Bild: martinko

you find the imperium above the cafe gfeller. while the concept of the gfeller is quiet traditional (coffee and cake), the one of the imperial is young:

you choose from a variety of meat (scrap like you know it from the fondue chinoise) and vegetables, put some marinade on it and wait in the row in front of the cooker. on one side you hope because of your roaring stomach to advance quickly. on the other side, the marinade has a bernese character and want's it's time to work in. when it's up to you, you hand over your full plate and the cook fries the chosen food in no time. just before you start to eat you have to choose a sauce.

when you have dinner there, it's all-you-can-eat. but beware, that can become a very expensive night. first the price is quiet high and because you have probably to buy a new pair of trousers the next day or you sign in a fitness club, just because you have a bad conscience.

hint: if you eat dinner here, do it without the soup that is served as starter. it's served to fill your stomach so that you eat less (meat, shrimps) from the buffet.

don't expect authentic chinese food here. but if you want to maximize the quantity - à la americaine - you are perfectly right here; but i don't think that this is a high level eating culture.
