Famous late-night eateries in town.
(beijing today)
Updated: 2006-09-26 14:22  Even late birds can have their worm. These four restaurants are the
most famous late-night eateries in town.
Ever since three Guizhou artists opened their restaurant, Three Guizhou Men,
near the Friendship Store four years ago, Guizhou cuisine has become
increasingly popular in Beijing. Serving up the region's specialties, which
balance sour, hot, salty and sweet flavors, the restaurat is open 24-hours.
The restaurants are casual, but still incredibly chic and stylish. The Gongti
outlet I visited is housed in a complex of clubs and bars (including Coco
Banana) and boasts sexy contemporary Chinese paintings on each wall.
The menu contains a list of Sichuan favorites (Guizhou is adjacent to
Sichuan) and many more local dishes. Most of the diners were indulging in suan
tang yu, sour soup hotpot.
We ordered a starter of wild vegetables with chili sauce and a plate of
Guizhou sausages (xiang chang pai gu). Every dish was wonderful and different
from anything available in most other Beijing restaurants. If you get the
chance, give this stylish eatery a try.
