First, a great foodie event tonight. Big Smoke and Jing A are back with their third “Experiment” dinner, where they unveil a secret experimental keg by the jing A brewmasters. RMB 300 gets you a pretty lengthy beer-infused menu, plus four Jing A beers. Lum Dim Sum has more details on the menu. 

Revered provider of late night sustenance Two Guys and a Pie are closing their shop in Sanlitun. Read more about their reasons here and don’t fret completely, the Guys can still be found around town delivering pies and attending events.

Moka bros’ new store in Solana is now open. They have a great opening deal offering a Power Bowl plus smoothie for just RMB 80.

Obentos have added smoothies to their menu in store and for delivery. The smoothies come in eight flavors, including Avo Good Day (avocado, pineapple, apple, baby spinach and coconut water) and Matcha Mood (matcha powder, banana, natural yogurt, low fat milk, honey). As someone who is currently muddling their way through a week of vegan eating, I am happy to see that four of the smoothies are made with a coconut water base instead of dairy.

Beer Mania have introduced a couple of special Burger Cup burgers in homage to our event on August 23. The burgers, with new homemade Chimay buns, are available on their weekly specials menu for just RMB 45.

A few picks for events and promotions this week:

  • Escape to Moon River River in Shunyi for an organic barbecue feast this Saturday. Cuju and Sue Zhou will be providing the food, and Jing A will be launching a new peach ale especially for the occasion.
  • Sweet Spot are offering mousse mooncakes in flavors such as vanilla green tea and mango passion fruit. RMB 108 for three.
  • CBD International Kitchen in the Grand Millennium Hotel is celebrating the culinary heritage of Singapore with a special dinner buffet of Singaporean delicacies cooked up by Executive Chef (and Singaporean) Charlie Chang. RMB 288 per person + 15 percent service charge.
