Every month, we like to shine a spotlight on the most delicious dishes we’ve stumbled upon recently. Eat it up!

Half rack spare ribs 
Home Plate BBQ, RMB 150 
This succulent flame-charred rack of ribs are barbecued for six hours, then served with cornbread and your choice of two sides. Embrace your Frank Underwood Southern gentleman sensibilities with this fall-off-the-bone delicacy.

Cheesecake
The Other Place, RMB 20
We are inundated with mediocre cheesecake in hutong cafes. This one luckily does not follow that sad trend. There is a creamy and decadent body with a subtle taste of lemon and a thick delicious crust. Get some coffee and enjoy it in their comfortable courtyard.

Beef and egg porridge
Huo Ji, RMB 25
This place is always a go-to joint to set your stomach at ease before hitting up the Gulou party zone. These delicious congees are incredibly satisfying and pair well with one of their southern-style sweet pork buns (cha shao bao, RMB 12). Afterwards, you’ll find yourself in a blissful state and ready to thrash to the techno beat till the wee hours.

Tomate moutarde tartine
Cafe de la Poste, RMB 36
What’s not to like about melted fromage and tomatoes on toasted French bread smeared with mustard? It’s simple and proven to settle your lactose cravings. Though this tartine is a dish you could easily knock up in your college dorm, Cafe de la Poste sources quality ingredients make it a sought-after starter.

Nang cake with meat
Crescent Moon, RMB 48
This sloppy pizza-esque dish from Xinjiang features nang bread stacked with lamb, carrots, onions, and spiced gravy. The meat is piled on with a high concentration of tasty lamb gristle, carbs, and a slightly psychoactive combination of spices.

Other Place Cheesecake - call ahead
Posted Jul 17, 2014 4:53pm by bardrock

I advise everyone call the Other Place first before going out there hoping for cheesecake. We went to see if it was really as good as reported, and were told that it's made by a friend of the cafe and not regularly. In fact, the guy didn't know when the next time would be. They didn't have any desserts at all so call first unless you're ok with liquid dessert.
