EAT: Black Truffles, Carnivore's Club, and More
If you do just one foodie thing this week, make it the Carnivore's Club dinner at Feast on Saturday night. Chef Rob Cunningham has teamed up with Dutch-Chinese chef Sue Zhou to cook up a Yunnan-fusion menu featuring all parts of the chicken (and a pretty inspired tea-infused dessert as well). At four courses for RMB 238 it's a steal too.
Also on January 24, three Michelin-starred chef Umberto Bombana is in town cooking a black truffle tasting menu at Opera Bombana for one night only. The five course menu finishes with an intriguing black truffle ice cream – the jury's out on that one.
Here's something to add to your regular weekly go around of events: Juice by Melissa have just launched a weekly girls night. Every Thursday from 6-9pm ladies get buy-one-get-one free organic cold-press cocktails and organic wine, accompanied by the brand's organic and gluten-free tasting menu. Sounds like a good way to get your drink on without too many adverse effects.
In a decidedly less wholesome, but very delicious, fashion, Plan B is holding another one of their deservedly popular rib nights on Sunday (Jan 25). The ribs will cost you RMB 60 and are available from 1-9pm, but they're asking people to give them a call and pre-book to guarantee a table.
More events and promotions this week:
- Wednesday night is Chili Night at 京A. A big serving with freshly made tortilla chips is just RMB 30 – get it before it's gone!
- Join EatwithChef at Tribe Restaurant on Thursday for a completely vegan dining experience. The RMB 265 menu includes pumpkin and quinoa tabbouleh and vegan chocolate and peanut mousse pie.
- Discover unlimited dim sum classics at the Conrad's Lu Yu restaurant each weekday for just RMB 99 per person.
