The Lonely Hearts Guide to Beijing’s Best Yunnan Restaurants

October 9, 2013 Beijing

Love, like the food of Yunnan province, is best served red-hot, passionate and all-consuming. Bordering Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, and home to 25 distinct ethnic groups, Yunnan seduces the senses (especially the taste buds) like no other Chinese province. The combination of Southeast Asian-inspired spice married with the region’s abundance of wild ingredients makes for a singularly unique dining experience. We love it, basically.

And considering Beijing is 1,662 miles away from Yunnan’s provincial capital Kunming, our city manages a pretty impressive showcase of the region’s specialities. But which of Beijing’s best Yunnan restaurants is perfect for you? Yes, you sitting there all alone with your computer / iPad / iPhone. Read this guide and discover your one true match.

Beijing’s Rubber Duck Will Destroy Us All!

September 9, 2013 Beijing

Rubber Duck Beijing
All seems peaceful… but not for long

After her much-photographed wallow in Hong Kong Harbour, Beijing welcomes ‘Rubber Duck’, the globetrotting floating sculpture by Dutch artist Florentjin Hofman. The world’s largest waterfowl began her Beijing holiday in Garden Expo Park, and between September 26 and October 26 it’ll be floating peacefully in Kunming Lake at the Summer Palace. At least that’s what the Beijing authorities hope will happen… WE FORSEE A QUITE DIFFERENT SCENARIO, HOWEVER…

Rubber Duck Beijing
This is where duckzilla will have its babies

Transmutated and made sentient by Beijing’s rumoured air pollution, the duck will double in size overnight! And it won’t stop there. Oh boy, no. Before long, the oversized fowl will take to the wing, before settling in Beijing’s Bird’s Nest … to spawn.

Fly Over Forbidden City in Extreme New Tour

September 7, 2013 Beijing

Bespoke were SUPER EXCITED to hear about an all-new airborne experience that takes off from the Forbidden City, flying over several famous landmarks including the Temple of Heaven, the Great Wall and Beihai Park. We were especially surprised that such an event could be sanctioned, given that the Beijing authorities take airspace security very seriously indeed.

So Bespoke adventurers Tom and Lars headed to the Forbidden City to try it out. You even get a free DVD to remember your experience. Here is theirs (wait a moment for the video to load up):

New Restaurant: Jing Yaa Tang Review

September 5, 2013 Beijing

London-based restaurant wizard Alan Yau (of Wagamama chain fame and Michelin-starred Hakkasan and Yauatcha) has waved his magic wand at China’s capital – SHAZAM! – and pulled a duck out of his hat. A sumptuously roasted Peking duck, that tastes, umm, magic.

Jing Yaa Tang review
Now that’s a handsome insignia

OK, clumsy wizard metaphor over. He’s designed a restaurant in the Opposite House Hotel called Jing Yaa Tang. It’s one of the hottest openings of the year, it serves duck and it’s quacking brilliant.
