Beijing restaurant puts sex on the menu
Print Edition
THE drinks are served in breast-shaped cups, the beers opened with bottle openers shaped like a wooden penis. The father and daughter team behind a Beijing restaurant delight in mixing food with sex.
Owner Lu Lu, a 27-year-old divorcee, said business has been good since opening just under a year ago, with young Chinese streaming in to feast on seafood under the gaze of mannequins wearing bondage gear.
Lu’s father overcame initial reservations about some of the decor and took charge of the kitchen, dishing up a menu that features items such as “Horny” and “Sensuous World.”
“Food and sex are the basic desires of humans, and that hasn’t changed in more than 5,000 years,” Lu said.
“‘Release your basic instincts’ and ‘Liberate yourself’ are the two concepts we used as the basis for the restaurant.”
Lu said she was catering to a new generation of educated city residents who are increasingly willing to explore sex.
Chinese society has left behind the days when talking about sex was taboo, but sex education in schools remains almost non-existent. The government also keeps a tight rein on vulgar content on television or online.
Venues like Lu’s can fall foul of the authorities.
Last month, police ordered a Beijing bar to close for two weeks after it staged a performance in which the audience was invited to touch a woman’s breasts through her clothes.
Apart from one visit by the police, Lu said, she has been left to run her establishment, where inflatable naked dolls sit on shelves and waiters wear aprons complete with breasts.
That may change, though, with Lu planning to ramp up the kinkiness by putting women customers in handcuffs and getting their male companions to feed them. She also wants to offer customers the chance to whip the waitresses.
One customer was keen for Lu to push the boundaries.
“I think they could scale it up a bit,” said 30-year-old technology worker Eric Deng.
