EAT: Your bite-sized guide to the best eats to be had in Beijing this week.
Superfly at has put hot pot back on its menu just in time for the chilly weather. There are three hot pot bases to choose from — mala (they are a Sichuan restaurant, after all), Yunnan mushroom with Pu'er tea, and, new for this year, lamb stew cooked with special herbs and spices.
Purchase a hot pot set for two for RMB 288 (including your choice of hot pot base, two types of meat, and four types of vegetable, tofu or noodles) via their WeChat store (check the link in this post) and get two free glasses of champagne.
Trendy izakaya is also giving its menu a winter makeover, adding a selection of warming new eats. Try the sukiyaki sumo hot pot, featuring chicken meatballs, pork, and tofu in a rich broth, a favorite of sumo wrestlers when they're bulking up before a fight, or slurp down a bowl of ramen with slow-cooked chicken bone broth. We've got our eye on the beef tongue kushikatsu, featuring beef tongue cooked until tender, then coated in panko breadcrumbs and deep-fried until golden brown. They've also got six new sakes, four new white wines, and four new red wines to pair with your meal.
