IF you are an American and will be spending Thanksgiving Day in China, you’ll probably be spending it just as I did at a 5-star hotel that offers an evening holiday buffet. And even if you aren’t American, you may just happen to be spending Thanksgiving there as well.
All the 4 and 5 star hotels in the major cities generally offer a Thanksiving-inspired, Western style buffet. But at the Sheraton in Xiamen, there was a lot more than just turkey. For 228 RMB (includes service charge), there was what seemed like endless stations of Western style food. Some of the best included pizza, a make-your-own burrito station, steak, oysters, grilled shrimp, ice cream, creme brulee, and cheesecake. There was even Korean Kimchi, Japanese Sushi, and Beijing roast duck.
I did something I’ve never done before on Thanksgiving, and that’s start off my feast with a beef burrito and a couple slices of pizza. For all the adjustments I have had to make in China, this wasn’t so bad.
