Agenda September 10th to September 23rd
The latest Agenda features an interview with the chef from one of Beijing’s most consistently exciting restaurants – Jordi Villegas Serra from Blu Lobster. Jordi tells us about how his cooking career started early in life, what’s on his menu right now and chooses some of his favorite Beijing restaurants.
New openings in Try These Restaurants include:
Swagat – Indian outlet for Shuangjing-dwellers;
Kuki – Another Shuangjing restaurant – this one’s Japanese;
Macau Taste – New restaurant in the Village offering (surprise, surprise) a taste of Macau
In Spotlights: M on the Bund is a notable Shanghai success story. Now owner Michelle Garnaut tells us about Capital M, her new Beijing venue (open September 15); DJ El-Mar sets up September 19’s Great Aircraft Carrier Party in Tianjin; restaurant tips from Hilton Doubletree’s F&B Director Barclay Doring; and Yin and Yang Yoga teacher Simon Low gets us in the mood for his three-day visit to Yoga Yard (Sep 25-27).
September is the traditional season for new expat arrivals in Beijing, so in our Lists, we round up reliable stores for all your home decor needs, as well as the city’s best student bars. We’ve also got lists of great noodle restaurants and lunchtime meal deals. Last but not least, you’ll find 14 days of great events in our Day-by-Day event listings.
