Say ‘CHEESE!’
Posted: July 28th, 2009 | Author: LumDimSum | Filed under: Foodies & Dining Scene, Nightlife & Party Scene | Tags: cheese, Hotel G, Scarlett | 5 Comments »I have made a brilliant new discovery! I have just stumbled upon a haven for cheese addicts; I now know where to get my cheese fix – Scarlett in Hotel G. Originally known as the super-pricey, trendy burger joint 25 Degrees, the space has improved ten-fold as Scarlett – a wine bar and restaurant with a line-up of kick-ass weekday promotions and the BEST Cheese Selection Deals in Beijing.
I came to meet some friends for Scarlett’s Bodega Fever Promotion – All-you-can-eat tapas for RMB 88 every Thursday. The place was pumping, I was surprised to see it so packed on a Thursday and while their tapas were great, what sold me was their glorious display of cheese. Unreal.
Their cheese selection changes regularly, but they consistently have between 12-15 types of cheese to choose from on a daily basis.
Today, their list of cheeses include: (provided by Scarlett’s manager, Alex Bouvier)
