PS We Ate You: This Month's Best Eats

Every month, we like to shine a spotlight on the most delicious dishes we’ve stumbled upon recently. Dig in!

sweet and sour chicken 
Flypizza & Hoodadak Chicken, RMB 80
Nothing says “glutton” more than settling down to a steaming hot plate of Korean fried chicken. A mountain of meat and bones, double deep-fried and covered in the stickiest sauce this side of caramel. Although the sweet and sour chicken became sickly towards the end, something about the gorge felt so right.

mushroom swiss burger 
Katchup, RMB 58
It’s a rare occasion to turn down accompanying sides to a burger meal, but this monstrous Katchup creation of juicy beef patty topped with earthy mushrooms and decadently creamy Swiss cheese genuinely leaves you with no room to stomach more. Kudos to proper burger proportions in Beijing.

the onsen 
Hatsune, RMB 90
The standout dish from Hatsune’s latest menu revamp is rich, unctuous and altogether luxurious. Dig through a layer of squid sashimi, sea urchin, salmon roe and daikon to pop the yolk on a lightly poached quail’s egg suspended in dashi broth.

soba fix 
MOKA Bros, RMB 48
Take these tasty soba noodles for a peanut buttery twirl. This delicious lunch option is served in a deep bowl with edamame, carrots, broccoli, and cubes of chicken or tofu doused with a healthy dose of peanut sauce. This will certainly assassinate your hunger without adding too much to that evil muffin top.

coco cici 
Pak Pak Thai Kitchen, RMB 42
You might feel like reaching for something cooling after a spicy meal at Pak Pak’s new CBD location, but ride out the heat for just a bit longer to indulge in this chili-chocolate combination, a stunningly smooth mousse infused with tiny pieces of candied chili. We couldn’t be happier that upper crust gourmet Thai food has made its way closer to the city center.
