2009 Nov 26 Little Bangkok in Big Beijing
Little Bangkok Restaurant & Tea House is hard to miss with its glowing, lime green exterior, gaudy chandeliers and Thai furnishings - this Sanlitun
restaurant seems to revel in overindulgence.
The Little Bangkok Platter comes packed with all things salty, including shrimp cakes, fish cakes, curried spring rolls, and beef skewers – all for RMB 48 for a small plate or 108 for a large. The pad thai (RMB 35) is a bit on the sour side (but then again, we received fair warning – the waitress insisted that they specialize in appetizers, salads, milk teas and curries).
The Thai style green curry chicken (RMB 45) is served creamy with coconut milk and just the right consistency, with well-cooked pieces of meat and vegetables. But the real treat is the hot Thai Milk Tea (RMB 18), a great combination of rich and sweet and the perfect way to end the meal.
Daily 11am-11pm. Next to Bldg 28, Sanlitun, Chaoyang District. (6416 8855) 朝阳区三里屯北街28楼旁

Fit For a King: Feast Offers a New All-You-Can-Eat Option
The first thing that strikes you about Feast is that it’s a fine-looking restaurant. Of course, nobody really comes to a place like this to enjoy the design, so it’s just as well that the all-you-can-eat offerings deliver. Mix up your own salad to ease yourself in, and try not to overindulge in the bread and cheese selection – you’re going to need every inch your stomach allows.
On the Eje: Good Beers on a Budget
With neighbors Temple and Jam already dealing in live music and cocktails respectively, Eje brings a good selection of beer to the table. The choice isn’t as large as at El Nido, but with a focus on Belgian and German brews (Paulaner, Erdinger, Maredsous, Westmalle), there’s enough quality to keep purists amused until they pass out.
