Have you seen/read Crazy Rich Asians?!

A fantastic trilogy that I highly recommend reading (it’s a page-turner!), the film based on the first book came out last summer and I’m not ashamed to say that I flew down to Hong Kong over October holiday to watch it in the theatre (before I knew it would be playing in mainland)! And one of the best scenes in the film is when the main characters first fly into Singapore and pig out on all the Hawker stands in a gigantic, sprawling food court. With so many of our favorite street snacks slowly disappearing/getting bricked up, you can imagine the food envy I felt as I watched that scene on the big screen.

KUP KUP KUP aims to capture this dining concept reminiscent of all the amazing food halls that you’d find all across Southeast Asia and bring it to Beijing. Serving a variety of Southeast Asian street food specialties found in Northern Thailand, Northern Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, the restaurant design is a fun and playful setting with a ceiling full of dangling illumination.

Still in soft opening phase (they’ll be launching their full menu starting January 28th), we had the privilege of playing guinea pigs and taste our way through some of their dishes! Read through to the bottom to learn how to be among the first to taste KUP KUP KUP in the upcoming BJ FOoDiEs Charity Dinner happening this Sunday, January 27th!

“Indulge for a Cause”

Selected Charity: St. Joseph’s Orphanage

An orphanage located in Renqiu, they support disabled orphans. They’re currently in need of more diapers and goods that we can gift to them just before the Chinese New Year holiday. Come this Sunday to learn more about this dedicated group of volunteers that make regular trips to the orphanage!

St. Joseph's Orphanage

For those who are not familiar with the FOoDiEs concept, they organize monthly charity dinners at different restaurants each month at an amazing price between RMB 100-150 per person (for a meal worth much more its value) so that guests will feel extra generous to the sponsored organization that month.

The RMB 100 for this month’s dinner will be paid directly to the hosting restaurant and guests will be introduced to a representative of the sponsored organization and envelopes will be passed out during the main course so that after the organization representative has introduced their cause, guests can anonymously donate as they wish! Our hope is that the more satisfied with the generous meal, the more generous you’ll be with your wallet!

Donations are accepted in both cash form and WeChat transfers (I always bring extra cash for your transfer donations). With limited seating, I’d recommend booking your seats online as all seating is now only confirmed by WeChat Transfer (add ID: LumDimSum).
