A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

House party with YC and the Sunshine Band!

Yvonne C (all-around embassy partier) and Dan S (one of the city’s food whizzes) threw a house party a couple of weeks back. I can’t remember the last time I saw such an eclectic mix of bottles in a home bar: Yeni Raki (from Turkey), Opal Nera, Buttershots Liqueur and Oh Canada Maple Syrup Liqueur, to name about four out of forty, all on the same countertop (I didn’t even think to combine them into a shooter). Add 30 people, some food and you’ve got a party. So what does one of Beijing’s top chefs serve? Nothing less than chicken wings from Indian Kitchen and a bunch of pizzas from Buona - what, you expect him to cook after a long day in the kitchen?
