Migas' La Granja Farmers Brunch

If you haven’t been to a boozy Migas brunch yet, where have you been?! Brunching in Beijing (and Asia in general) is a riotous affair with some incredible deals on offer.

Migas regularly updates their brunch offering and it hasn’t disappointed yet! From their last “La Feria” Andalucian Brunch to their latest incarnation – introducing Migas’ “La Granja” Farmer’s Brunch.

“This new brunch concept at Migas is simple, eat as you would in a small farmers village in Spain after waking up late on a weekend morning: eggs, bread, some home stew, roasted meat or fish…La Granja Farmer Brunch brings you some of the typical rustic “breakfast” dishes that you will find in different regions in Spain!

Spaniards have very abundant meals on weekend morning-afternoons, an affair with family and friends with a table full of dishes to enjoy. With this brunch, we offer the possibility to experience this “small Spanish farmer town feeling”. Regardless of the extent of your appetite, your dishes are all made to order so order as much as you please!“

Although winter hit back with a vengance earlier this week, the gorgeous blue skies are back and Spring feels like it’s finally sprung!

Timing couldn’t be better as Migas is launching it’s new La Feria weekend brunch, designed to show off the colorful vivacity of the Andalucia region of Spain.

“Inspired by the raucous festivals in the south of Spain, Migas is pleased to bring you “La Feria” brunch! One of the most popular regional festivals in Spain is “La Feria de Abril” celebrated every April in Sevilla. This is the first and biggest feria to kick off spring every year, and afterwards, others cities and towns in the south of Spain then host their own ferias, with very characteristic elements in common: 1. To celebrate that the warm season has arrived 2. To enjoy yummy traditional snacks and drinks 3. Sing and dance in all the different “casetas” (striped tents), while dressed up in the bright and colourful traditional costumes. All the bright colours, flowers and music creates a one-of-a-kind magical Andalusian energy floating around.” – The Migas Team

Try Out the New Brewer’s Brunch at Jing-A Taproom with the BJ FOoDiEs Clan!

As we welcome back warmer weather this Spring (it’s rainy and dreary now, but meant to warm straight back up in time for the weekend), it’s high time that we start getting out more during the day to soak up some much needed Vitamin D! Whether you’re nursing a hangover or not quite ready to wrap up the weekend, Sundays are always 100x more spectacular when you have a boozy brunch scheduled!

The Georg's North Side Meets South Side Team

North Side Meets South Side: A Handsome Line-Up of Talented Chefs

The boys at the Georg like to play and the kitchen is their playground.

Where all the new dish creations are first tested, plated and tasted, their kitchen has been action-packed as they’ve been busy cranking out a new winter dinner menu, new “Fat Freddy’s Brunch” menu and even a new lunch menu featuring all the tasty smørrebrøds that was launched at the joint pop-up with Moka Bros last month.

As productive as they’ve been, I suppose “boys will be boys” as Georg’s general manager Stefano Censi who is half Danish/half Italian thought it’d be good fun to bring in a fellow Italian chef for a month-long stint and, in his words, to balance out the ratio of Danish to Italian in the kitchen.

Laudable Lucky Lopez: Comfort Tex-Mex from Dallas

Lucky Lopez: Interior Design

A Taste of Tex-Mex Flavor

How this location has stayed hidden and unoccupied for so long, I have no idea, but Lucky Lopez has an apt name in managing to find such a great plot.

Hidden in a courtyard just behind Nearby the Tree in Sanlitun, Lucky Lopez has actually been around since 2010, with their first location in Jianwai SOHO in the CBD. Initially a burrito spot, they have expanded their menu for this new location and you’ll find all the comfort staples of Mexican-American cuisine.

Having the pleasure to sit down and chat with Lucky Lopez’s Executive Chef and Managing Partner June Chow, it really gave our dining experience a whole new meaning and appreciation for what June and her brother Schubert Chow have created. While June and Schubert grew up in the northeast – New Jersey/New York area with a family background of restauranteurs, June moved to Dallas about 20 years ago. She made her way to Beijing to satisfy Schubert’s cravings for quality Mexican food and this began their mission to bring Dallas-inspired Tex-Mex to Beijing.

“I am self taught and learn from my family, friends and great home cooks. I like to take liberties with recipes (aka, never follow them to the T) and operate on the notion that you find a great platform of ingredients and build ideas from it.

The Orchid's Private Residences

Introducing The Orchid’s New Private Residences

My choice recommendation for out of town guests is always The Orchid.

A boutique hotel nestled in the hutongs by Gulou, the Orchid represents everything that I love about Beijing’s hutongs. A peaceful, zen-inducing traditional Chinese courtyard surrounded by green trees and a second floor dining room with a rooftop terrace that’s one of the most gorgeous that this city has to offer.

Now that the temperature has hit 30 degrees, Beijing’s 2 week long Spring is over and we are into Summer!

To celebrate the warmth, Migas have updated their already stellar “El Asador” meat-fueled brunch with a new Pintxos & Tapas Weekend Brunch. Widely regarded as having one of the best terraces in the city, now there is no reason to ever leave! Arrive for a late brunch on Saturday afternoon, enjoy a bit of day drinking and then just continue straight on into the evening! Migas, we know your dastardly plan!

Hatchery

After months of waiting in anticipation for the talented and innovative team behind much talked about Buena Onda and Soul Bowls Pop-Up concepts to announce their next move, the answer is even better than anything they’ve done thus far. Isn’t 2016 off to an exciting start?!

Not only are they launching their next pop-up food concept Mighty Mo’s serving New Zealand mussels and craft beers, they’ll be doing it in their very own culinary space named Hatchery, a design by Elisa Chan and created with the purpose to support China’s F&B start-ups.

“Having started off doing a number of our own pop-ups across Beijing, we’re excited to open the doors of our own space. Over the course of the coming year we’ll be launching a number of new concepts at Hatchery and look forward to continuing to be apart of Beijing’s ever-changing food scene.” – Andrew Moo, Marketing Manager
