“必须尝试”,在一东食品是什么?
每个星期天,我们认为“ 一个地道的美国周日烤肉@一东 ”(三个疗程198元,加上15%的附加 费98元无限葡萄酒自助)。 我们提供不同的东西,以正常的群众在北京市场,我们非常放松的“大人”周日午餐自助餐。 银雕小车是八公斤重的澳大利亚牛肉肋排从客人刻伴随着由传统的周日烤修剪无限份载货。 我什至设法让厨师添加传统的英国约克郡布丁和脆烤土豆。 尽管这是对我来说,美国的餐厅,周日烤肉简直是不一样的没有! 周日午餐的签名,准备和提供桌子的一边,另一种是对的香蕉培育Flambe的 ,一位伟大的美国人的传统,与在餐厅的朗姆酒火烧菜......它总是“哇!”从客人的投篮。
什么是“必须尝试”喝一东?
最意想不到的葡萄酒和鸡尾酒,每星期四我们的居民调酒师, 朱莉娅朱 ,承载我们的一个东方葡萄酒俱乐部 (人民币150元另加15%附加费)。 从下午6:30关闭踢,Julia和团队客人通过一个轻松互动的氛围和匹配的烤面包的陪同下五种不同的葡萄酒抽样在世界上最好的葡萄酒地区的旅程。 (提示:在酒吧提前预约空间)
三个“必须设法”在北京的其他场馆的项目有哪些?
每到周末,我去与家人和尝试新的东西。 北京是一个为这个伟大的城市,如果你设法去餐厅之前,它已关闭!
1。 我的首选是在美妙的河俱乐部是优秀的服务和烹饪的整个菜单...。
2。 饺子在鼎泰丰 ...一贯优良和周到的服务。
3。 对我来说经常出没的几个地方,我们返回了一次又一次......梦幻般的香酥鸡贝拉吉欧之一!
我的选择是真的与我连接的地方经验,环境和食品质量和服务的一致性。 也有许多我可以列出。 你可以改变的问题“什么是10'必须设法在北京其他场地项目?”?

与前7个版本给一个废话报告 ,这些事情会发生在北京的酒吧和餐厅现场如果只有人听了我的话,我,我!
59。 合作与Modo的使用基于两个卡的enomatic机 ,每一个都可以保持长达三个星期八瓶开放新酒,酒如加州葡萄酒协会 , 澳大利亚葡萄酒推广服装会考虑。 也许他们可以租一台机器,一两个月的库存比通常在促销活动中看到的更昂贵和非典型葡萄酒 。 似乎像一个低成本低风险的方式,以促进一个国家的葡萄酒,使分销商,葡萄酒高兴,让客户获得的样本 - 倒在25毫升开始 - 从更好的瓶子。
60。 鉴于其定位为一家加拿大的酒吧,盒子会重播2月28日 ,一周年,史诗面对加拿大和美国之间的2010年奥运会金牌的冰球比赛 ,有一个特殊的Moosehead和比你更poutine可以撼动棍子。 (现在我知道它是如何结束,我可以看无溃疡的危险性时,美国人配合在常规时间还剩24秒的游戏。)
61。 如果方块举行了尤卡朴克比赛,这也将是巨大的。
62。 此人来的明智调酒师的礼节,即多的酒吧在菜单上的状态, 它们的大小盆满钵满 ,当谈到烈酒,葡萄酒和生啤酒。 是,威士忌倒25毫升或50毫升:很高兴知道我们为了前。
63。 一个位于市中心的韩国餐厅,有一个普通的韩国街头食品的夜晚 ,包括dukpukki(糯米红辣椒鱼饼,洋葱,和其他的东西粘贴气瓶), 紫菜包饭 (米饭,鸡蛋和蔬菜卷在海藻), 曼杜 (饺子,尤其是泡菜填充的),hoduk(红糖和肉桂煎饼),和更多。 韩国摊贩使世界上最好的深夜,一些吃的,我们需要他们的市中心。
64:员工与手持对讲机的事......请停止它。 为什么提交客户响亮的静态和乱码的邮件,否则安静的咖啡馆或餐厅,每隔几分钟? 很多地方生存不这样的噪音:你!
65。在毛庄静一扔是名列前茅的白酒我曾尝过,它可能会更好,如果被注入白酒,而不是与李子与梅花注入伏特加混合鸡尾酒 。 听起来像一个有价值的实验...

我询问了他们的许多北京市民五大浇水孔节奏的变化,所以我问香罗伊列出的五个最好的威士忌,在我们美丽的城市广泛使用。 (如果没记错的请求,因为我们来的采样一些我最喜欢的北京景点,Ichikura超过100威士忌)。像马鹿远的山坡上-嗯,我读到吗? - 这里是...
-
-
无论你要进的精神,因为啤酒中的碳水化合物是扩大你的腰围,或你一直是对威士忌好奇,但根本不知道在哪里开始,或者即使你只是想能够吓唬你的方式,通过一个威士忌的谈话,让我看看,如果我可以帮你与任何这些东西在我们的排放黑烟的芝华士,畅饮北京城市。
要清楚:这不是一个“五大”列举我个人最喜爱的tipples。 它也不是一个不起眼的100多单一麦芽酒吧列表(尽管有这些比以往任何时候都在北京,其中大部分是伟大的)。 或晦涩擅用他人名义的威士忌,你可以在这里找到说,酒吧,或如何发音说,威士忌的名字! 这是一个真正伟大的威士忌 ,你可以得到任何地方基本上在北京的5 -分销商/酒吧老板的关系,只要中国的进口税收政策的明确晦涩的原因。
1。 尊尼获加黑。随处可见。 有时事情很受欢迎,因为他们实际上是很大的。 忘记红(就像在口中的味道,用燃烧的轮胎),但黑色是所有好。 我从来没有停止动摇我愣住精英头,所以,在展望18世纪从根本上的东西就是这么可靠的好,这里在2010年。 甜甘草或枫糖浆是牢牢掌握在天鹅绒的的Talisker衍生盐比铁腕。 大滚动烟草和香草腭(杰克逊的笔记:“大麻”)。 完成醇厚甜衰落。
2。 麦卡伦12。在北京的一个咖啡馆和餐馆的惊人庞大的数量,这是真棒,因为这是一个了不起的晚饭后威士忌。 无冰,当然。 轻轻地浇水,如果这是你的事。 黄油,圣诞布丁开始。 口感场夫人的饼干当你离开他们过夜,他们在微波加热起来 - 百胜! 一个可爱的酒一样非常小的“烟雾”,再次,适合餐后主题的光洁度。
3。 高地公园21。你可能不能够找到21轻松一些的弟妹,但12和最多的将是伟大的事情。 令人惊讶的是可用的。 虽然它没有阴凉适销对路“凯尔特”Auchentoshan或Lagavulin的名称,高地公园21在2009年拿出威士忌杂志“世界最佳”。 它只是良好。 而实际上,如果你添加少许水(非常),“高地公园”是一个伟大的名字,散发出浓烈烟雾从你的登山口粮,石楠,鹿肉就吐,一瞥见你的篝火,黑巧克力,是因为它与远的山坡上马鹿给你大自然的元素,野生的不可预测性。
4。 taketsuru 21。另一种混合! 甚至没有一个“苏格兰威士忌”! 亵渎! 但是,这是一个伟大的融合,再次传递,因为北京的日本,韩国,日本和韩国主题餐厅的巨大阵列的可用性测试。 作为唯一的非为了我发现即使很小的地方。 远离相同的名称(实际上,它是完全不起眼)的12岁,但21世纪有一个令人高兴的不同的光洁度(如苦瓜老陈铜)可爱的咖啡和昂贵的皮革笔记。
5。 talisker 10。要回到我的主题,我总是惊奇地发现这样自由和易于在北京。 它是在“大斯凯”我猜,肯定是值得任何的真正的好和伟大的列表它的地方,但是这是有关中国的资本可用性,这意味着出了一些Islays的Talisker点子我可能已经充满了“个人前五名“。 吉姆·默里称为“锋利的”,他是正确的。 它有一个巨大的积累,不断下放不同肤色,因为它横跨腭移动。 一个真正的库存炉苏格兰完成。
干杯!
香侬-罗伊生活和工作在北京,自2002年以来。 传统上是一个“软件人”,他现在作为独立的董事会成员,上半打外商投资中国企业的赚取他的威士忌的钱,做他的位,以改善公司治理,一次发射流氓首席执行官。
这是第19家不可尝试系列 ,要求在北京的酒吧,餐厅,酒业务的人,给我们的建议。 这一次:经理亚历克斯·莫利纳和厨师丹尼尔·乌达内塔的MODO(和也对Mosto)。
-
-
“必须尝试”Modo的食物是什么?
乌达内塔:从我们的晚餐菜单中小板股,传家宝番茄酱(80,000,000) 和牛的牛肉丸子 ,因为它是最流行 的一种。 菠菜和烤梨,蘑菇和光头羊奶酪(RMB75), 乳清Malfatti也是一样。 它融化在口中,是这样的一种乐趣,作为面食菜单上很少看到这道菜。
什么是“必须尝试”喝吗?
莫利纳:要陪五六人有不同的板块通常以共享,我推荐试图从我们Enomatic酒饮水机的一些不同的葡萄酒 。 本机包括16个葡萄酒和允许小的盆满钵满的25毫升满盆满钵满150毫升。 在这里看到。]
三个“必须设法”在北京的其他场馆的项目有哪些?
莫利纳:我爱Sureno的比萨 ! 我也recomend在外资并购的下午茶。最后但并非最不重要的...... Nobu餐厅 ,尽快打开。
每次看到北京的食物或饮料,包括比利时的特殊,我不能帮助,但后一个最有名的人,我知道谁是在该国提出的照片:

我相信我奇梅蓝。

无论如何,我知道Vandergeeten 1 比利时酿造的分销商,包括Hoegaarden的和斯特拉现成最好的,现在它已联手5个城市的餐馆高达1 啤酒和配对促进持续到三月底的食物 ,说品牌经理弗雷德里克Esbensen。 下面是五个特价:
在这里得到所有细节。
地窖鼠迷宫内的电子表格,月度报告和秩序的形式,让人目不暇接,他只能勉强摆动出他的洞,下午5点每天的快乐时光 ,花了他的日子深。 毫无疑问,由于这种压力,他呼吁最近的一个星期天的晚上 ,如果我吃了两个饮料,我很快就发现自己同志的兴趣在交易我的睡衣和拖鞋,我的勃艮第羊绒吸烟夹克和意大利皮革舞鞋和研究。 我们的行程...
乔治:完美 (50,000,000) 干曼哈顿 ,我们的第一站,他们是美味的奠酒。 乔治可以打错过的人群时,它是忙碌的,它往往是非常繁忙,但饮料是相当一致,这对我来说是关键。 如果你喜欢奶油 ,新马丁尼使用,味利口酒,值得一试。 如果你想乔治·让你的饮料,最好的办法是给其他调酒师时,他消失在夜色中和处理所有的混合自己在星期一 。 我仍然认为这个地方会做得很好,有一个讲英语的主机或女主人忙夜。
斯佳丽 :这家酒吧管理有些高档而高傲,并提供良好的座位选择,包括在三面的酒吧 。 调酒师让我们品尝葡萄酒之前,我们选择了一个玻璃 。 坦率地说,斯佳丽似乎太优雅,只有少数为人民币38元或68元的选择,包括品牌在家乐福或珍妮娄 ,它会很高兴地看到一些更多的选择。 无论如何,阅读记者六年后写关于中国的混合酒和可乐,并没有亲眼目睹这些,我决定给它一个去。 来自智利的洛杉矶Condas赤霞珠玻璃? 检查。 一个良好的冷藏一罐可乐 ? 检查。 混在一起? 不坏 。 斯佳丽的方式,继续提供每星期四为人民币88元小吃自助餐 。
脸 :柔和,朦胧的灯光,古董,座椅样式和纹理的米什捣烂,和丰富的角落和缝隙进行面对面的日期从任何一个朋友聚会,到一个与您artsier fartsier客户的会议。 好,除了呆头呆脑TECHNO节拍 ,轻轻的地方,通过在这个夜晚完胜。 我下令干杜松子酒马丁尼(60,000,000)来到寒冷,但不是“令人震惊”这样的广告,伴随着与坑橄榄 (齿芯片警报), 服务费 。 一个积极的, 凝是慷慨的 ,我将再次订购这种饮料,虽然我会问员工设置击晕那些呼风唤雨,并添加进站橄榄 。 免费辣爆米花是一个很好的接触。 这是一个我一年两次池场比赛好玩的地方。 这是很伤心的,如果你失去了我,所以我会继续在自己酒窖鼠之间的最终得分。
Q吧 :虽然可以使用的装饰和布局改造,这个地方仍然最各级工作。 适合心情的音乐 ,酒窖鼠甚至发现自己的感叹:“嘿,这是我最喜爱的艺术家!” 饮料是一贯的好,不是一件容易的事,完成年复一年。 和工作人员是主管 。 新注入的伏特加和威士忌头调酒师温迪通知我们,甚至给了我们一些嗅探和SIPS( 在这里看到更多的细节)。
俱乐部 :即使是在一个周日晚,这个地方,因为它在每一个我有访问,有一个庞大的人群。 对于那些还没有,这个地方双打作为一个单身俱乐部。有一个入口附近的板,与会者可以写下他们的详细资料和他们理想的合作伙伴,是老生常谈匹配的游戏里面,如果你在正确的时间来,挂到凌晨,总是一打或两个人跳舞和/或饮料。 有点俗气的设计和照明,一瓶冰纯嘉士伯 1望而却步40,000,000(老实说,这是即使在人民币问题的价值),但如果你是面临回归1电子表格等人在早晨令人目眩的迷宫值得最后一喝。
只是我还是每个人都和他们的兄弟姐妹,哥们,和同事,他们来访的表兄弟,相亲,自己的阿姨和宝安,不要提阎锡山和他多汁裤军 ,走出去和党的最后一个周末吗? 朋友和有关建议比大多数的每一个地方是远远超过平日的调查...
Kro的鸟巢 :我在想,如果这个位置会工作,但迄今的地方更是一枝独秀,尤其是作为活动场地。 星期六晚上,我参加了一个100人的生日庆典由明尼苏达修身举办,只是其中的四个政党正在举行,雇主奥拉夫“Kro的”鲍尔说。 最近推出的智力竞赛之夜已经是一个很大的吸引力,与上周近20支队伍 。 (我参加了一个测验,而我们的团队完成点的最后,我们来到第一Moosehead人均消费知识。!)
米加斯 :我们到达了上周五午夜恐怖发烧 ,墙到墙的地方党的观众,发现一个门出涓涓细流。 食客四个深在酒吧,但20分钟的等待后,他们只...三深。 这里是一个建议在下一次:1在后面临时搭建的酒吧设立20例西班牙啤酒,负责25,000,000 1弹出(或更多),不只是帮助采取关闭主杆的压力,但也给那些行的东西等待来呷,从而减轻他们越来越恼火,因为他们迫不及待地想鸡尾酒,葡萄酒,或水的机会。 (即使你让人民币流行,对20例散发出来,以RMB7000 +。)无论如何,一个大投票,我只能想象这是什么地方米加斯优秀的甲板上重开时会像。
aperitivo:一个老的三里屯待机状态下, 食品和饮料的人群的喜爱 ,一些在土地最干净的厕所。 不幸的是,在这个夜晚的地方也有一组是一个集体的屁股疼痛的法国公民。 让我们把这种方式:如果你把他们串,你有一个的灌洗-kabob。 我特别喜欢的人生气了,因为我不说法语,并告诉我,他最近被一家公司,从我国的冰雹发射的家伙。 “他们当作像rrrrrrrrrat。我,”他说。 我喜欢的地方,但这些家伙忙不迭的退出...
1F:因此,我们的第一站忙,我们离开一个小时后回来,发现它只有非常繁忙 。 我喜欢人群的多样性,啤酒股权,深夜时分,和一般的氛围。 过去一年的现场最好的补充...
愚公移山 :听中国摇滚是喜欢尝试中国的葡萄酒 ,你要通过很多的苦,才能找到什么好东西。 而这良好的地方标准。 什么真正的错误,我是带,鞭打像他们模仿一些视频,但底层的贡品 ,与它们略微无聊的曲调带激情。 剪切和粘贴。 不是说这是真正的乐队,我看到星期五惊人的保险推销员和田园 ,但只是解释为什么我不倾向于去摇滚表演。 我已经尝试了很多的中国葡萄酒。 无论如何,我答应我会去的人,我没有,我比推销员发现仿古更多的乐趣,我再次惊讶愚公移山收费为青岛2500。
我喜欢香槟,但我认为良好的鸡尾酒或啤酒,我可以得到一瓶在北京酩平均价格多少,我发现一个罕见的场合时,对气泡的开支是值得的。
但也有例外。 和在FLAMME的欢乐时光协议,将开始在三月至四月是其中之一。 这个地方已经有半价对鸡尾酒的欢乐时光,啤酒,葡萄酒由镇上最好的队伍的质量经理保罗·马修和他的团队可可 , 梁刘柔芬和大卫饮料的玻璃。
来三月,欢乐时光会从下午3点至晚上7:30,但也包括瓶装酒。
这里是我的观点:如果你从未有唐培里侬前,想给它一个尝试,这是约最好的交易,你会看到:RMB2200 RMB1100元一瓶。 (是的,很多人会发现,昂贵的,但如果你想尝试得到一组六分裂一瓶。)在酒单快看其他一些高超的交易,包括岭山赤霞珠2006年的人民币4.75的东西(定期:950元人民币),从休伊森 ,青铜色雷司令2008和“小姐”哈利歌海娜,西拉,和人民币2.15慕合怀特(经常和两个葡萄酒:4300)。

This is part eighteen in the Must Tries Series that asks people in the Beijing bar, restaurant, and wine business to give us their recommendations. This time: Reto Kistler of restaurant Sureno in the Opposite House. (This is the third post from the Opposite House: see these ones with Leo Liu of Village Cafe and Louis Wu of Punk .)
-
What is the “must try” food at Sureno?
The handcrafted ravioli (RMB118) with buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, wood-fired smoked ricotta, fresh tomatoes and Spanish extra virgin olive oil. An amazing pasta dish: simple but beautiful. I have to mention our Sunday brunch (RMB298), with free-flow Champagne and great choices from our set menus instead of the typical buffet stations with food heated under lamps.
What is the “must try” drink at Sureno?
Watermelon Negroni (RMB70): a great aperitif. The watermelon makes it more accessible and the citrus foam on top offers a nice tangy kick. For wine, hearty Chianti is always a great companion for Mediterranean food. The Frescobaldi Nipozzano Riserva Chianti Rufina is an example. It has berry and floral notes with delicate spices, and a refreshing crispness for which the Sangiovese grape is renown.
三个“必须设法”在北京的其他场馆的项目有哪些?
For Beijing kaoya, The Fat Duck at the Renaissance offers an absolutely delicious one.
The River Club has some amazing tortello –stuffed with cheese and mortadella and a cream sauce.
There are times when a juicy burger is just what the doctor ordered. My dear colleagues at the Village Cafe do an amazing job. Top quality beef and lots of toppings. Finger-licking good and messy. The way it has to be.
Gung Ho! Gourmet Pizza Factory near Workers Stadium has expanded its menu to include calzones , both veggie (rmb45) and meat (rmb55), new salads (including chili prawn and pineapple salad) and pastas (including mushroom and balsamic cream sauce), and a hot and spicy pizza . Other additions includes desserts like brownies and sides like cheese bread balls . Until now, the key factor for me ordering pizza from Gung Ho! is adding on that tasty Greek salad.
Still on pizza, The Irish Volunteer in Lido has been generating buzz with its pies. While this homey place became known in the early days for its “ Big Breakfast “, not to mention its commitment to showing NHL games , co-owner George Smith says pizza now outsells all other menu items combined by more than three to one. He adds that space station astronaut Mark Polansky tried the pizza and described it as “out of this world.” I'm planning a taste test soon.
Still on pizza, a couple of readers in Central Park asked if the new Nasca Café in Sanlitun delivers their way. The answer: yes. The former Nasca branch in Central Park went through a Kro's Nest-type controversy just over a year ago that saw it renamed Navena and one partner leave to run the branches on Maizidian and now in Sanlitun , the latter now serving people in Central Park. Kudos to the place for doing a decent deep dish pie , and with fresh quality ingredients to boot. One gripe: three levels of spiciness are available but even the hottest doesn't leave near enough burn.
Grinders in Shuangjing may feel the wrath of Zhongnanhai –not the government office, but the cigarette company of choice for most expats–when it starts its Ashless Wednesdays next week. That means no smoking inside during hump day, though patrons are free to puff to their lungs' discontent just outside the door. At least one day a week, patrons will leave smelling more like meatballs than 0.8s.

Beijing Hilton will hold its second annual pancake race on Shrove Tuesday, 6 PM to 8 PM, on March 8 . According to a press release, the hotel's lobby will be turned into an obstacle course that contestants need to move through while tossing a pancake . “The winner will be judged on speed, style, costume, number of complete tosses and as well of course… not to have dropped the pancake crash helmets provided.” The winner gets a trophy and bragging rights as best tosser . Spectators can enjoy pancakes at a discount as well as half-price drinks in Zeta during the after party. For more details or to enter the contest, email Simon Amos at Simon.Amos (at) hilton.com.

FAQ (“Kiwi” is used here to denote a citizen of New Zealand)…
1: Are New Zealanders taking over the food and beverage industry in Beijing?
If the key Sanlitun-Workers Stadium corridor is any indication, the invasion is fully under way. A year ago, I knew of a single venue– Fubar –with a New Zealand citizen as manager or investor. Now I now know of four more– The Pavillion , Bar Blu , Gung Ho! and Nasca Café .
That translates to 400 percent annual growth . The rate is likely far higher given rumors of untold numbers of Kiwis in disguise and flipping steaks, popping corks, and investing in bars and restaurants across the city. Some analysts suggest that by year 2025 more than 20 percent of New Zealand's population will be engaged in Beijing's food and beverage sector.
2。 Should we be worried?
Are you kidding me? Have you seen the All Blacks rugby team do the haka ? Never have men in short pants been so terrifying. Now imagine a thousand Beijing kitchens, a dozen cooks emerging from each, every cook holding a pair of knives … and doing the haka?
Kiwis are already loose cannons, known to start fist fights in disputes over the origins of Crowded House or go on ten hour rants about how Australians are “a bunch of wankers” who stole the dessert pavlova from New Zealand.
和新西兰人不完全渗入食品和饮料的场景,它仅仅是一个时间的问题之前,菜单开始列出Vegemit INIS和 Crowded House 小吃盘片 。
要把握好这个问题的范围,想象的电影2012年 ,是不是全球变暖,但新西兰人的威胁。
3。 僵尸和新西兰之间的差异是什么?
僵尸不这样做的哈卡,聆听到拥挤的房屋,或欣赏葡萄酒。 他们也开始吃你的肉了,而不是前面作为澳大利亚人为什么是“一堆wankers”谁偷了帕夫洛娃10小时的咆哮。 因此,他们稍微培养和略显不足的危险 。
4。 如果新西兰人接近我,我应该怎么办呢?
首先,你需要能够识别猕猴桃。 一般规则:他们只是想澳大利亚人除了具有更好的礼仪。 第二,保持对你的人在任何时候都白苏维翁的几个小样本大小瓶。 如果走近,慢慢地设置一个瓶子和备份。 一次猕猴桃察觉它,他或她的注意力将被捕获至少一分钟,给你时间逃跑。 为了提高您的机会,贴上一些闪亮的标签或传播Vegemite。
5。 我已经爱上了一个新西兰人。 我应该怎么办?
它发生:仅在20世纪有至少7个有案可查的案件 。 Your best bets are to memorize the lyrics to every Crowded House song, learn the history of the All Blacks inside out, never forget that Russell Crowe , Peter Jackson , and Rachel Hunter were all born in New Zealand, and always carry several small bottles of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc on you at all times—just in case (see point 4).
6。 How many of your readers are actually going to think this post is serious?
Far more than you think. I actually have quite a few visitors from New Zealand…
By the way, there is a “tweet up” tonight at Nasca Cafe , owned by a New Zealander, in Sanlitun at 7 PM. Half-price pizzas and RMB20 glasses of wine. If interested in joining, drop me an email at beijingboyce (at) yahoo.com.

Update: The voting is now live .
Note: As I publish this look at some of The Beijinger restaurant awards nominees , voting has not yet gone live. I am told it will go live sometime today , Wednesday, February 16. Thus, if you go to The Beijinger website and see you cannot yet vote, do not leave insulting comments here, send me angry emails , or start griping that the awards campaign is already a disaster . 为什么呢? Because I just noted that the voting has not yet gone live. If it is still not live on Thursday , feel free to freak out. In fact, start stockpiling bottled water , canned goods , and gasoline-powered blenders because the end is no doubt near. In the meantime, remain calm. Don't panic . Enjoy a cool refreshing beverage with friends and talk about how the same places win every year anyway / everyone else in this city is like so stupid because your favorite twelve-seat chuanr joint wasn't even nominated for best restaurant / you can at least drink free booze at the awards ceremony. And remember, the voting lasts for weeks . (The preceding message was aimed at that tiny fraction of the population that reacts to restaurant awards in the most irrational ways. This station apologizes to everyone else for having to read through it.)

So, I called Beijinger GM Mike Wester earlier tonight, caught him as he picked up some hummus at Biteapitta , and a few hours later he sent me some highlights from this year's awards campaign. First, there are several reasons why I like The Beijinger awards: they include reader and expert/editor picks; Wester is intense about scrutinizing votes (he missed his calling as a sabermatician); the awards parties tend to be fun; and previous results resounded with me (doesn't mean I agreed with all of them but that they seemed reasonable). I'm curious to see how much of an impact the ever-increasing power of social media , especially the likes of Twitter and Weibo, have on voting this year. I hope it doesn't mean a flood of messages from restaurants seeking votes. I'll be honest: an email or tweet or two is OK but any more than that is alienation territory. Anyway, here is the sneak peak, with a few categories relevant to the focus on this blog…

By the way, I do realize it is possible to order in a meal from many Chinese restaurants for less than RMB100, that one could create similar menus by going to Jingkelong, Carrefour, or some other outlet, and that when it comes to 7-ELEVEN the food is not haute cuisine, that there are cheaper items available than what I have chosen, and that the place has its own buffet / soup stand / steamed bun stand / etc during parts of the day. This post is just for fun.
Also, the prices are based on my memory, as I misplaced the receipt, so expect an error of a few kuai either way.
情人节快乐!

Kro's Nest wasn't the only pizza operation to experience a nasty partner breakup last year. Nasca Cafe in Central Park also experienced a meltdown. That branch now goes by the name Navena , kind of like how the ex-Kro's Nest goes by Tube Station , and the partner who left– Wei –now runs two Nasca Cafe outlets, including a recently opened one in Sanlitun South (see here ). I visited on Wednesday night–and today. Ten thoughts on the spot:
Those notes came from Wednesday night. Today, I tried the Mexican Passion : good but in future I would ask for more spiciness (you can choose between three levels and I went for the middle one). Wei also showed me all of his delivery materials to show how the bags, cups, and boxes are all made from recycled materials .
I'll have more on this place as I work my way through the menu. In the meantime, you can see the menus here , the locations here ,
The opening of Mokihi means an auspicious start to the year for cocktail and whiskey fans visiting Lucky Street . (Whiskey fans should also check the daily two-for-one deal at Nashville just a few doors down). The backers include Motonari Uchiyama , bartender and co-owner at Twilight in Jianwai Soho, Apothecary in Sanlitun North, and the former Er on Maizidian Street.
Mokihi is nestled in a restaurant called K's Kitchen that Uchiyama says will open within a month and feature Western foods with a Japanese twist. It has one long bar with seating for about a dozen, dim lighting and light music, a relaxed atmosphere, and a liquor stock that typifies the Japanese-style bars of this city. Most cocktails cost RMM60 to RMB70 .
I ordered the Wasabi Martini , which includes gin, green Chartreuse, dry Vermouth, cucumber, lemon juice, and freshly grated wasabi . This is a cloudy concoction that is refreshing but with a bit too much edge for me. Fellow imbiber Blox said, “it's vegetal… like a health drink [with gin]“, while The Cellar Rat described it as having “four levels of flavor”. It is worth a try, though I am far more likely to reorder the Smoky Martini I started with. Overall, we found all our drinks above average. Add this place to the quality cocktails circuit…
This is part seventeen in the Must Tries Series that asks people in the Beijing bar, restaurant, and wine business to give us their recommendations. We head to the suburbs this week with Pat Walsh of The Green Cap Bar in Shunyi.

What is the “must try” drink at Green Cap?
It has to be our ever popular pint of Guinness . Fresh as can be from St. James's Gate in Dublin. I can safely say it is one of the best in Beijing!
What is the “must try” food at Green Cap?
We have our new chef Bill Marrett cooking up a storm. Quality pub grub. The consensus is our spicy wings/chili . The locals like it hot round here!
三个“必须设法”在北京的其他场馆的项目有哪些?
I love lunch at The Orchard . Their bread is the best I've ever had and the setting is just perfect.
A pint in Paddy’s with Karl Long . We go way way back so its always good to catch up over a pint or two or three or….
I like the pizza in The Irish Volunteer . A great tasty bite for your dollar in a good non-pretentious setting.
