Obsession Description

The first indication that Obsession is a quirky dinner spot is its location. The bistro is sandwiched between The Tiki Bungalow and Knights and Merchants, aka ‘That Place With All The Sword Fights Outside.’ (Seriously, as a side note, do check out Knights and Merchants – they’ll let you try on armor.)

The next indication is the decor: a cerulean wall color most-often associated with gaudy 1980s eyeshadows, plus a school of silver sperm fish along the walls. 

The third indication is the spalike soundtrack of ocean sounds. 

Altogether, it’s a funny, comfortable and quirky place to grab a bite before moving on to headier booze at Tiki. Food is casual Western (think pastas, toast with smoked salmon, steaks) at mostly reasonable prices, averaging between RMB50-60 per dish. 

Granted, perhaps you’d rather go somewhere we describe as ‘top-notch’ or, say, ‘good,’ rather than ‘quirky.’ Fair enough. But if there’s one thing we like more than Obsession's steaks, it’s what it represents: That no matter your obsession, the hutongs are the place for you.
