Re: KTVs in Beijing
My FR on iteawon.
This is my first trip to BJ, as I am not familiar with the scene and becos I am alone, I seek the advice of guru marklim prior to going. He recommended Iteawon and I am grateful for that. My grateful thanks to Bro marklim.
I finished work on Friday at about 7 pm, so took the MRT to XiuFang. Exit thru exit A, but did not know which way to turn, turn left nd walk for about 10 mins. Unable to find anything. So turn back and headed right, another 10 minutes, unable to find anything. A previous report mentioned that it is near the MRT exit and it is lighted in red, so I was looking for Iteawon in red. Saw a heaven star, but no iteawon. went across the road and spent some time watching a gathering of local folks dancing in the park.
Disappointed, decided to go back to QianYuan hotel located in Ghost street with 2 objective. (this hotel booking was also based another bro recommendation). My first objective was so that I could call home to report to HM (had to do so everynite when oversea), and second was to verify the address of iteawon. manage to achieve both objectives.
This time, armed with the address in chinese, called a cab. Upon reaching the MRT station liufang, the cab driver also had problem locating it. He then called mami tel and query on the location and on guideance, was able to find it.
NB:
For those going there for the first time, it is on the right of the MRT exit A, about 200m away, passing a steamboat, BBQ restaurant, pass by heaven star KTV,near to the intersection of the road. Make sure you look up, the signage is not litted for my case and look for iteawon in chinese. There is no english signage. the entrance is unmarked, walls painted in red.
It was about 11:30 pm when I reached there. I walked up the stairs, which is a good 3 -4 stories high. (did not really count). greet by the waiter and led into a small KTV room. I asked for mami Wang. She is a friendly woman about late 30's. She looked puzzled upon seeing me but when I mention Bro Lin, and that I came from SGP, she lit up. Sat on me and tried to give the signature, cock-grabbing. Told her I wanted tapau, and she went to fetch a group of 5. As I was rather excited by then, I notice that 4 of them were rather so-so, with one SYT. Naturally I asked for more (based on some advice previously), but she mentioned that it is rather late by then. So I settle for the SYT, Lin Ling. Mami Wang also told me that she need to go to school the next morning, so would have to leave by 3 am.
Pulled out 200 for mami and another 600 on the spot for Linling. We then left the place.
NB:
I understand that payment should be make later, but wanting to put some level of trust on the mami and girl, i decided to pay first.
