Jiao Zi Monday

Hi all!

It’s been a long time since I posted and I really miss you all!  I hope JZM is going well and continuing to make a name for itself in the Beijing restaurant scene.

I came across this article, which is a must-read for all of you who haven’t seen it yet.  It’s about how challenging it can be for expats to make anything meaningful of their time in China.  Take a look here: http://dontmovetochina.com/post/14263906182/its-not-your-party-so-you-want-to-work-in-china#.TxDyLQ-Dzkk.facebook

Best,

this is Beau’s pick this week, The restaurant is called 竹林小餐. Its just across the street from Q Bar on Sanlitun South Road (南三里屯路). Should be very easy to find, and a perfect location for those with ambitions for a bigger night…

Well that’s how google translates 渝信 . This is one of Beijing’s very very best sichuan places.

See you at 7:30

On the road parallel to Gongti Bei Lu, one street north. 辛福村中路 next to April Gourmet.

Happy new year! For the first Jiaozi Monday of 2012, we’re going to start off on the right foot with, you guessed it, jiaozi. But it’s not just any jiaozi restaurant. It’s the jiaozi restaurant opened by the mother of Han Geng (a Chinese actor/singer). Yeah, apparently that’s supposed to be a big deal (here’s a little blurb about it on Baidu), and their jiaozi is supposed to be pretty good too. We shall be the judge of that tonight.

7:30pm. See you there!
