http://www.ingridhora.com/ongoing
We met Ingrid Hora, an Italian Artist living in Berlin who is doing a residency in Cao Chang di .
she sent through a list of great restaurants in Beijing. She has a small opening on the 22nd that would be great to check out.
Here are some recommendations (if you click on the link you get further description and the address):Noodle Loft (面酷) (They make great noodles at the counter in front of your eyes)Noodle Bar (Beijing noodles, small and simple but hip) VERY NICE no MSG…Han Na Shan Korean a chain, several locations but one of them is very close by. Baoyuan Jiaozi Wu (宝源饺子屋) (great dumpling place close to Kempinski)Haidilao Hot Pot (海底捞火锅) or Ding Ding Xiang (both hot pot restaurants, haven’t tried the former but seems to be good) Da Dong Roast Peking Duck. try as well the modern experimental cusine some aaaaaamazing dishes there
‘In & Out’ on Sanlitun Bei xiao jie in Beijing.
try the saute egg with jasmine flower, the cold spicy chicken, which is not so spicy but very tasty and light…lime and mint, very Thai) and try the mini zucchini flowers , the beef-wraps served in bamboo, in any case i would stick to the small dishes which truly are amazing and so differnt in taste and so fresh.no funny oil. Yunnan is at the border to thailand, vietnam and Burma….and is very differnt the rest of food we tried in china.
i would not dive so much in the heavy meat dishes as you have to try all the starters and vegetables. but do take the soup! we had one with pork and broad-beans but i think the chicken one looks amazing too.
i cant find the chinese address but maybe someone at Platform can translate? its in the embassy area. we go there by bike. its next to an Italian place called assaggi I think.
its a bit more expensive but worth it. I think you eat for 200 RMB including Pablo
enjoy!
Ingrid
btw: we will have a small informal event on 22 October. Invite and exact address will follow. “
