Last Orders: Alex Molina and Daniel Urdaneta, Owners of Modo and Mosto
“Last Orders” is a regular magazine column in which we ask noteworthy Beijingers to imagine their final meal before leaving the city for good. This month’s hosts: Alex Molina and Daniel Urdaneta, Owners, Modo and Mosto
The venue
We’d take over a 798 factory and prepare a long communal wooden table for all our friends and families.
The starters
To open our last Beijing meal, we’d start with our favorite dandan mian noodles from Transit.
The main courses
We’d follow with Agua’s fab bogavante rice – in massive quantities! Then we’d order Karaiya Spice House’s signature duck: a must-have requested by the whole table!
The desserts
No great family meal is complete without Capital M’s pavlova. The last bites would have to be Maison Boulud’s madeleines – we’d make sure to pack some for the flight from Beijing!
Something from your own restaurants
We’d most likely serve every person’s favorite dish, along with Modo’s crispy pork belly for all of us to share. To finish, if we don’t have Mosto’s chocolate souffle, we’ll probably be asked to make another last dinner!
The music
We’d leave it all to Migas to rock this party!
The drinks
Wel l of cour se, we’d have to drink some rhum … with some tailor-made rhum-based cocktails from Apothecary. We promise to behave!
