HELLO JZMERS!

Chaoyang and Dongcheng districts have consumed too many of the recent Jiaozimonday selections so why not branch out a bit. There are plenty of other districts to choose from but for the time being we will play our hand close with a great spot in Xicheng. Raise your hand if you know where XiCheng is!

I was introduced to this restaurant an few weeks ago by a friend and I am 100% convinced that this place is the ideal combination of upscale clean hotpot with a stellar price tag. Last time I ate there there was more food then I could stomach and the bill came to 15 RMB. Hard to believe? come tonight to find out for yourself.

Tonight is a very special JZM, it’s our 3 year anniversary! Over the last 3 years through the tried and true method of meal sharing we have had more than a few friendships form and develop, more than a few business ideas sprout up, more than a few love connections blossom, and more than a few dumplings too! So grab your favorite people and a JZM story and lets celebrate the past three years of dinners.

Tonight’s restaurant is 亨记台湾火锅 XiangJi Taiwan Hotpot located on Guijie to the east of the Beixinqiao subway station on the south side of the road. The outside looks like this: http://www.dianping.com/photos/9364462.

Two things to look forward to at the restaurant are a tomato based pot (yum) and creating your own dipping sauce.
