June's Nibbles and Sips: Mosto + Hatsune, Carnivore's Club, Hagaki + Jing-A, and More!
June is looking to be a very exciting month for pop-up dining concepts. Firstly, Mosto’s Chef Daniel Urdaneta and Hatsune’s Alan Wong are teaming up to create a new dining concept called Nikkei. For two nights only on June 17 and 18. They will present a menu that blends Japanese techniques with Peruvian ingredients, a cuisine that originated with the Japanese diaspora living in Peru. Set a reminder in your phones now – seating is limited to 20 spots per evening and tickets will be available starting June 3.
In other delicious collaborations this month, EAST’s Rob Cunningham and Migas’ Aitor Olabegoya are preparing a four-course, Spanish-inspired menu of pork dishes (RMB 238) for the latest installation of the Carnivore’s Club at Feast on June 25. The main course of suckling pig stuffed with fennel, citrus, and foie gras is not to be missed.
The food and beverage team at EAST are certainly keeping busy this month. In addition to the Carnivore’s Club, Hagaki will be taking over the kitchen at Jing-A Brewing on June 10, as part of Beijing Craft Beer Week from June 8-14. They'll be serving up a four course menu of Japanese treats, including a delicious katsu burger, priced at RMB 100 per person.
Speaking of Jing-A, they have recently launched a brunch menu, available on weekends between 11am and 2pm. The set menu is priced at RMB 128 per person and includes an antipasti sharing platter to start, a choice of main course from a selection that includes everything from yogurt and granola to corned beef hash, and a dessert of Vivi Dolce gelato with chocolate, raspberry, and Jing-A Vanilla Stout. Grab a table in the sunny 1949 courtyard and feel very good about life.
Over on the other side of town, “hutong cuisine” restaurant Mulu has recently renovated and come out with a new brunch menu, which you can enjoy on their peaceful roof terrace. The food includes influences from Western, Chinese, and Malaysian cuisine, so as part of the four course menu (RMB 268) you can sample everything from sarawak laksa to a full cooked breakfast.
Saffron has just launched paella delivery service Saffron to Go, based out of Galaxy Soho.
