CORRECTION

Little Nyonya is not opening in the Vantone Center, as this post originally claimed, but on Laiguangying Donglu in Shunyi.

Also, the post initially mistakenly referred to Little Nyonya as "Nyonya Kitchen" - Nyonya Kitchen is a completely different restaurant.

The post has been edited to reflect both of the above corrections. Apologies for any confusion.

Although it was hard to find at first, this is easily one of my new favourite venues in Beijing.

It's a cool underground space with lots of cozy seating and really cool decor. And you would never think from looking at the photos, but the drinks are really inexpensive (a big plus for me! Wink

I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a chilled out place to drink.

while on the subject of "bogus", dianping does charge restaurants for placement and attention ... restaurants can buy a package that will guarantee first page placement and a flock of reviews. I know this because I know restauteurs who have paid for this in the past

Jakelaoshi - Thanks, great suggestion. Translate for me breaks a few of the features of the site, so I thought I'd offer up this approach for any who are interested.

Georgefefe - Very sorry for the confusion. I should have been more clear. I'm referring to trolling the fishing term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling_%28fishing%29 (see the above photo). I find Dianping to be a great place to "fish" for new places to eat.

Jonathan Papish - We'll definitely cover the app in a future post. I'd definitely appreciate hearing any tips or tricks you have on how it's useful for you.

I think it's worth pointing out that "trolling" is used incorrectly in the title of this post. According to Urban Dictionary, trolling is "being a pr*ck on the Internet because you can."

That said, "trolling" Dianping would involve writing bogus reviews or breaking the site in some other way. Getting the most out of Dianping = trolling? Nope.

Cheers!
