A vegetarian dish-king: oyster mushroom with lettuce in oyster sauce.

The sliced fish filet in garlic butter sauce (35 yuan, US$4) was a bit dry, with a heavy butter flavour.Dishes made of chicken, beef, pork and seafood have accounted for nearly 90 per cent of all the food there.

A vegetarian dish-king oyster mushroom with lettuce in oyster sauce (22 yuan, US$3)-became a hit with me and my dinner companions.The mushrooms were surprisingly big and tasted delectable and appropriately and the dish was not as greasy as it looked. The minced shrimp with lettuce wrap is a good choice for both Chinese and Western stomachs due to its refreshing and fleshy taste.

The prime attraction of Yeeha is expected to be the Texas barbecue served on the second floor, where a large dining room combines with a sports bar. The whole room can hold more than 200 guests at a time.

The decoration is very impressive. The surrounding walls are adorned with animal horns, deer head and various animal skins, all of which were imported from Texas. The room also features many photos of sports stars and various paraphernalia of Yao Ming. Eighteen television screens broadcast various sports events. The red cedar tables and chairs create a rustic and cozy atmosphere inside.

Compared to the American-style Chinese food served downstairs, the Texas barbecue represents an even stronger US flavour. The dishes are made up of all kinds of different meat, which are grilled in a huge stainless steel oven in the kitchen.

Among them, the barbecued beef and sausage had the best flavour. The beef,after being roasted for about 12 hours, was rich, tender and succulent and even the fatty meat tasted impressively delicious.

The iced coffee served at Yeeha is also worthy of recommendation. They use a special kind of coffee powder made by the American "Cafe Du Mode" to prepare it. After mixing the powder and water into a container, diners could pour it into a glass of ice cubes and then enjoy the coffee.

The average cost for each person at Yeeha's second-floor barbecue restaurant is about 60-70 yuan (US$7.5-8.8) while the cost for the American Chinese food on the first floor is about 30-40 yuan (US$3.7-5).Yeeha Texas Barbecue Restaurant & Sports Bar
