Furongji: Playful Dim Sum with a Twist

There is something different about the dim sum by Furongji.

Some might ask if it’s fusion, but for someone who’s a fanatic when it comes to her dim sum, I like to call this a fun and creative twist on a cuisine that is so often trying way too hard to be traditional and authentic. While you can certainly find some classic dim sum options on Furongji’s menu, the style and recipes behind many of the new and unique creations on Furongji’s menu are far from traditional, and that makes this place stand apart from every other dim sum joint in town, which is just pure genius.

“Furongji is a reinterpretation of what makes a ‘modern’ dim sum restaurant. For the founders, it wasn’t about simply changing the colour of the dumpling skins or adding truffles. Their research into the heartlands of dimsum in Guangdong province showed them that actually, while the rest of the world seems to think there is a fixed way of how dimsum ‘should’ be done in both the classic and modern sense, they discovered that people in places like Shunde didn’t feel so restricted or bothered by these notions and instead cooked with more freedom and fun. So Furongji has recreated their favorite dim sum dishes – from the flavors and recipes to the styling and garnishes – to enhance each dish in a cool, fun and delicious way.” – Furongji Team

Furongji is brought to you by Joel Shuchat and Youngcall, owner/operator extraordinaires of the gorgeous Orchid boutique hotel who have enlisted the talents of chef-consultant-about-town, Sue Zhou. Located just in front of the Orchid hotel on Baochao Hutong, this clever and crafty dim sum joint is officially the only dim sum restaurant in the hutongs of old Beijing (as of now) and that also gives them a few extra bonus cool points.
