Every issue, we like to shine a spotlight on the most delicious dishes we’ve stumbled upon recently. Chow down!

lentilnator
Nooxo, RMB 45
New Year’s resolutions still going strong? Nooxo at Chunxiu Lu’s Yu food court (also known as The Crib) has plenty of options that won’t work against your health and fitness goals. This one tops our list: Cooked lentils, peppers, semi-dried tomatoes, guacamole, and a poached egg are piled onto red rice and coix seeds.

double cheesecake
Koka, RMB 28
Covered in white chocolate flakes, this treat is a healthy mix (generous healthy, not good-for-you healthy) of cream cheese, whipped cream, and sponge. Koka also offers matcha rolls for those lacking a sweet tooth.

rib pot
Sulyi, RMB 168
Get your meat fix at Korean newbie Sulyi with their rib pot. This juicy gas stove-powered pot is a mix of pre-cooked ribs, Chinese cabbage, dates, carrots, and a sprinkle of cheese on top.

seafood paella
Casa Talia, RMB 208
Italian rice cooked to perfection in a seafood broth, filled to the brim with clams, squid, scallops, prawns, and other oceanic delicacies. Best when shared between friends or family over chat and giggles.

uni dumplings
Xiding Dumplings, RMB 68 for 15
Packed with the combination of umami flavors and sweetness from fresh sea urchin (or uni), these dumplings are rounded out with pork. You won’t find this good value uni at any other Japanese restaurants in town.
