Aside from Peking duck, Da Dong 大董 is also famous for its classics such as the braised sea cucumber with scallions. The texture of the sea cucumber and the flavor depth of the sauce were absolutely superb. Other favorites included the deboned duck web with mustard, braised duck soup with matsutake, smoked Wagyu beef with porcini, Chef Dong’s braised eggplant, and of course the Peking duck with a second serving of fried duck.

There are many branches of Da Dong in Beijing and we visited the newest one in Jun Wang Fu 郡王府 within Chaoyang Park. It’s highly recommended to go for a leisurely stroll in the beautiful gardens after the meal!

One can’t visit Beijing without trying Peking duck, and one of the most popular places to try it is at Da Dong (大董)! Named after its founder @chefdadong, the restaurant is famous for roasting in a special spherical wood fired oven to ensure evenly distributed heat and using 22 days old suckling ducks so they are not too fatty. The end result is perfectly crispy skin that is not greasy (酥不腻). The duck comes with a second serving using the rest of the carcass with the choice of soup or deep-fried.

In Shanghai for a special event and our first meal was at @accjingxihui (Amazing Chinese Cuisine 菁禧荟) which serves elevated Chiu Chow cuisine using premium ingredients! The founder Mr. Du 杜建青 not only revamped classic dishes but also created new ones using his deep understanding of the cuisine. I first visited his restaurants 2 years ago and really enjoyed the food, so I was excited to be back again. There were many highlights of the night such as the Chiu Chow style braised fish maw served with a delicious sauce that we had to finish up with rice, the geoduck & clam soup, and the poached sea whelk with chicken oil. It was also a delight to see comfort dishes like sacha beef, Puning tofu, and fried rice executed in such a refined way. What a wonderful first night in Shanghai!

This is the full tasting menu (“La Herencia”) @mita_dc where all dishes are comprised entirely of vegetables. Over the last several years, I have come to appreciate the versatility and deliciousness of vegetable-centric meals. The cooking here is very good and worth a visit if you’re looking to try plant-based cuisine that embodies Latin American flavors 🤤👏😋

UMAMIHOLIC食事会

Terroir 愛と胃袋
@aitoibukuro

山梨県北杜市高根町長澤414

シェフの鈴木信作氏が八ヶ岳のオーガニック食材を使い、
2017年に移転開業した『Terroir愛と胃袋』。
店名の『Terroir愛と胃袋』は、「大切な人と一緒においしいものを食べることで
愛が育まれたらなんて素敵だろう！」という鈴木氏の想いから生まれたとのこと。
豊かな素材とそれを育てる技術者が揃う北杜市でのテロワールを
大切にしているレストランです。

野菜・川魚・放牧の畜産など、ほとんどが八ヶ岳から仕入れたものだそうです。
鈴木氏自ら八ヶ岳に入って山菜やキノコを採ったり、
鹿や鴨などを狩猟することもあるそうです。北杜市には3カ所もの湧水が
名水百選に認定され、あらゆるお酒の醸造所が揃い、野菜や魚、畜産など
食にかけても非常に豊かな地域。足を運ばないと味わえない料理は
フランス料理と日本料理の技術を取り入れたやさしさを感じる料理です。
