Spice Up Your Winter Evenings: Beijing's Newest Curry Delights
Looking to spice up your winter evenings in Beijing? We've handpicked a couple of recently opened restaurants where you can find some seriously good curry.
uh-huh Wine Bar
First up is uh-huh Wine Bar, a cozy and chic spot owned by Sophie, a Shanghainese woman who opened the spot because she found herself craving the wine bars she loved back home. Besides the impressive wine selection at uh-huh, you'll be pleasantly surprised by their Curry Chicken (RMB 88). It's smooth, not too spicy or greasy, with a delightful grainy texture from the addition of cashews and almonds. Their chef's commitment to traditional Indian cooking methods, like caramelizing onions to perfection, adds that extra touch to the dish.
