Robot restaurant

A new restaurant opened not far from our house recently. It's just like every other Chinese fast food restaurant, with one major exception: Robots. 

When you walk in downstairs there's a coin-operated robot that will move around and speak to you in Chinese and English for 1 RMB (about 15 cents)/

Despite Catherine's love of robots, the voice, the lights, and the movement were better enjoyed from the safety of daddy's arms.

Upstairs in the actual restaurant, a robot delivers the food to your table. 

They were even smart enough to divide up the food (dishes, then rice, then drinks, etc) so the girls got to watch it move more than once. 

The robot in action below. One would hope that with a food-delivering robot in the place, we wouldn't be the biggest attraction, but I'm not sure that was true. We still got stares and folks asking to take photos with the girls. :)
