LumDimSummary: SOS Charity Dinner at Karaiya

Within just about a week’s time, Time Out Magazine got just over 20 Beijing restaurants on board in a quick fundraising effort to support relief efforts in Japan with proceeds being donated to the Japanese Red Cross.

This past Sunday, both Hatsune and Karaiya Spice House in Sanlitun Village hosted tables with special set menus at RMB 300 per person with all proceeds donated directly to the cause.

Here’s a Taste of Karaiya’s SOS Charity Dinner Menu:

Trio of Chinese appetizers: Sliced Beef, Spicy Soybeans & Tofu Topped with Chili Peppers / Hand-Shredded Chicken and Onions with Crushed Ginger atop Flaming Mini Wok

Mandarin Fish with 2 Hunan Peppers / Hunan Spicy Pork Stir-fry with Pressed Tofu

Hot & Sour Soup / Spicy Pepper Diced Rib-Eye

Duo of Lightly fried Chinese Greens (Pea Sprouts and Towel Gourd)

Pork Fried Rice with Foie Gras (photo missing) / Mini Fruit Plate

Together, Hatsune & Karaiya Spice House alone raised a total of RMB 9,300.  The grand total from all restaurants will be confirmed shortly.
