Here, a roundup of things we ate and gossiped about this month – for journalism, for research, for you, readers.
Fall is definitely my favorite time of
the year. Not just because of my birthday,
but for other reasons too, like
sweaters. And whiskey, which is now
acceptable to drink more of as a way
to stay warm.
Fall in Beijing also marks hairy crab season and while there are an ocean of dining options that are expertly preparing the golden season delicacy, Jing Yaa Tang is dishing out the classic crustacean in superior style. Stop in for their wok-fried crab meat and roe on roasted youtiao or some hairy crab roe xiaolongbao.
For those of you looking for a tasty escape from the office, good news – there are some sweet lunch deals going on around the city. Hulu just premiered a three-course "power lunch" with offerings like pumpkin soup, seared Norwegian salmon, steak tartare and more. Bottega also debuted a new set menu, featuring plates like salty smoked salmon, topped with strawberries and dainty dollops of caviar, and creamy risotto with porcini mushrooms. Is lunch the new brunch? Probably not, but that doesn't mean you can't get a cocktail or two.

Over in Chaoyang Park, Cravings is serving up some brand new dishes that are on offer at all times of the day, like chicken lollipops with Sichuan pepper and chargrilled grouper served atop hay (yes, hay) with a "secret sauce" that's not so secretly prepared in front of you at your table.
Happy fall, y'all.
