Wong’s world: Hatsune, Karaiya, Block 8, Med, iSpace, The Beach
I ran into Alan Wong the other day and he mentioned that a branch of his popular Japanese restaurant Hatsune will open in Sanlitun as will a new project, Karaiya, focused on Chinese food.
He said some changes are underway at Block 8. Kristen Lum, director of communications there, says a new cocktail menu has been added and that the drinks menu for special events in iSpace includes beer at RMB25 and basic cocktails at RMB35.
Block 8 is also holding a ‘Ladies Wine Club’ event in Med restaurant on the second Thursday of each month. Events include a five-course meal and a wine theme (RMB100). The next one - on April 10 - will feature Australian wines.
Finally, Block 8’s rooftop bar, The Beach, is slated to open on May 9.

off topic, but any suggestions/knowledge of where one can catch the NCAA basketball tournament games? Will Rickshaw have them? The only place that’s advertising on City Weekend is Sunset and I’ve never really heard of it…
@ b. cheng,
The Rickshaw says it will have whatever games are being shown on ESPN or anything else it can get via satellite. Will update this comment if I hear from any other bars.
Cheers, Boyce
