Furongji

The team behind popular hutong hotel The Orchid try their hand at dim sum with Furongji, serving a mix of classic and creative dishes. However, while the menu and the interior are far from traditional, this is not fusion. As the team says, Furongji isn’t just about slapping different colored skins on the dumplings or adding truffles; it’s about cooking with freedom and fun.
