小考 - BBQ Seafood and Wings
东黄城根北大街36号 五四北50米
Dong huang cheng gen bei da jie. 50 meters north of the Wu Si (May fourth) intersection/memorial.
Dinner this week is at another place around the corner from me. Run by some local lads, one with an impressive fresco covering most of his back and another who does a very convincing impersonation of Philippine Chinese despite coming from right round the corner, and rented from an aunt, this place is worth attending mostly because it is fun. It is converted ping fang, nothing that could be called a Si He Yuan, painted pink with a simple grill and in and outdoor seating. There is a boom box in the corner of the yard playing a refreshingly diverse selection of music from the last twenty years both local and foreign and a near endless torrent of teasing directed at the guy with the tattoos, who while being the coolest of the comrades running the place, also seems to be the butt of every joke.
The food is good with the BBQ standard high and some noteworthy cold dishes, the spicy fried peanuts being a favourite.
Sunday promises to be cooler than this week has been so come sit in the shade under the tree and eat.
Some interesting facts about the number 36.
