EAT: Your bite-sized guide to the best eats to be had in Beijing this week.

Until Aug 6: Moka Bros x monbento x Zrou

For a limited time only, Moka Bros has partnered with protein-alternative producers Zrou and French bento box brand monbento. Until August 6, drop by any Moka Bros branch for a light lunch or fresh afternoon snack of Zrou vegan meatballs served with spicy tomato sauce alongside a chopped fruit salad, all served in a beautiful monbento bento box, for just RMB 99. The best part is you get to keep the box after (which itself is worth RMB 188). The offer is limited to 10 boxes per day, so grab them while you can!

New taco Tuesday deal at Las Musas 

Are Tuesdays the new Saturdays? They might be at Las Musas, where they have just launched a new taco Tuesday deal featuring unlimited tacos for RMB 120 and 25 percent off pitchers of margaritas. They tell us that they served almost 400 tacos when they tried the deal last week to round out their globetrotting taco month, so we expect this one to be popular.

A taste of Thailand at Peach by Hulu

Sad you can't make it to Thailand this summer? You can at least get a taste of the country's famous flavours at Peach, which is now serving a selection of classic Thai dishes, including stir-fried pork mince with basil and chili (RMB 58) and Thai green chicken curry (RMB 58), as well as a selection of cooling Thai-style teas and sodas. The dishes are available at Peach Sanlitun and Peach Next to WAB. 

WAA Gastropub soft opening discount

New Liangma River gastropub WAA is officially in soft opening, which means you can get 20 percent off food and non-alcoholic drinks until August 15. Try the steak fajitas, which have a twist in that instead of tortillas, the meat and other goodies (pesto, sour cream, and other sauces go between a donkey-burger-style bun. Served with disanxian mixed vegetables (usually a Dongbei-style dish), fried rice, and egg strips, it’s a sure party pleaser.

Now I am fairly certain that many foodies lap up this pigslop ardently. None-the-less I have a food complaint. It has to do with Greek Salad. Now, the Greeks were some folks that lived down south and wrote a bunch of crazy books, but however, invented this really cool salad, that should be, by my ken, composed of four fundamental ingredients, lavished upon such ingredients should be an oily lubricant to assist in consumption and digestion of said salad. Said salad should be composed of equal parts tomahto, cucumber, green pepper, and (prefereably) red onion. These components should be dashed together and mixed well so as to equidistance each substance from the other. Thereafter one should prepare a dressing to ladle upon said salad. Such dressing should be composed of 80% cold pressed olive oil and 20 % 9p (balsamic) vinegar. Plus lemon juice, a shitload of chopped up garlic, and other miscelaneous stuff like salt and pepper and yadayadayada. Which throws my proportions all to shit, but anyways.

Ya git the drift right?

Now upon this vegetable mixture should be doused the salald dressing as well as a large honking chunk (or chunks) of feta cheese. Also should be added about 10-15 calamata black olives. This is known as a Greek salad. When I go to Shanghai, to a so advertised Greek Restuarant and order a Greek Salad for 100 kuai and get a bowl of chopped up iceberg lettuce with a slice of tomato and two shavings of feta cheese I am not impressed. Let me state unequivicably, there is no fucking lettuce in Greek Salad!

I forgot to say virgin, as respects the olive oil. Otherwise I ain't too picky.
