Celebs Wear Ponchos Too

From his legacy as an actor to the controversy surrounding his adherence to the Church of Scientology, it is no wonder Tom Cruise has become a household name.  From his looks to his fame, you’ve got to give this company credit for trying to sell ponchos by obviously superimposing Tom Cruise’s face on the front label of this poncho label.

Awesome.

Anyone know who the girl is?

LumDimSum Discovery: Pure Lotus’ Happiness Roll

A vegetarian seaweed hand roll wrapped with fresh lettuce, cucumber, carrot, walnuts & strawberry for RMB 10 each, this is worth every last fen.

Located at the Northeast corner of the 3rd Ring Road’s Changhong Bridge (big intersection for Sanlitun at the Tuanjiehu Subway stop), Pure Lotus is a vegetarian restaurant run by Buddhist monks. With beautiful decor and a gigantic picture menu with plenty of philosophical Chinglish jibberish to keep you laughing and joking throughout your meal (ex: Garden of the Peaceful Heart Salad and Tonify the Blood Flour Ball Soup, The Dao Transcends the World Sour Bamboo Shoot Noodles), this really is a perfect dining destination to bring visitors and friends alike for a truly unique dining experience.

While our meal was exceptional to say the least, the happiness roll really was the highlight of our meal. Another highlight was the complimentary shot of plum vinegar on ice (served per person) along with the complimentary fruit at the end of our meal – watermelon served in a giant bowl of dry ice.
