Every issue's P.S. We Ate You, we like to shine a spotlight on the most delicious dishes we’ve stumbled upon recently in Beijing. Chow down!

seasonal bento
Obentos, RMB 78 
The main attraction of this season’s bento (pictured at the top) is a portion of seared sashimi tuna laid on a bed of salad and dressed with yuzu. The bento box is rounded off with your choice of rice and three sides of veggies.

chicken scotch egg 
Beyond Yakitori, RMB 32
A scotch egg made of chicken instead of the usual pork, the yolk perfectly runny, comes into its own when dipped in the spicy mayonnaise and paprika sauce.

duck breast and basil pesto pizza 
Tube Station, RMB 64-196 (depending on size)  
A new, localized offering on the Tube Station menu, the coating of juicy Peking poultry chunks makes this pie juicy, hearty, and satisfying. The red and yellow bell peppers add a little crispiness, while the gooey mozzarella binds all of the ingredients together.

beef mango salad
Barn, RMB 80 
A Thai-style salad presented beautifully, filled with mixed veggies, little Thai peppers, and, of course, beef and mango.

New York soho tower brunch
The Rug, RMB 388 
A three-layered brunch tower with both an American and an Asian twist, the set includes a fish burger, a shrimp and avocado roll, a sweet strawberry and mango spring roll, and cakes to share.
