On 13 March I finally made it to discover these two interesting Beijing spots.

China Oriental Zen Tea:
Discover a small, cute and hidden tea house, in Nanluoguxiang, Shajing Hutong No. 13 (walk north from the main avenue on Nanluoguxiang and look for Shajing Hutong down on your left. The tea house is a little further in the hutong, on your right side with a big sign.
Run by Kristin (American), more on http://www.damotea.com/
From there you can walk to Grandma Creative Kitchen going more west but it is a bit tricky if it’s your first time. See the maps for Shajing and Fangzhuanchang Hutongs.

Grandma’s Creative Kitchen:
No. 6 Fangzhuanchang Hutong, Di’anmen Wai Main Street
Directions:
Subway Line 6: Nanluoguxiang Exit A, enter Nanluoguxiang, walk to Heizhima Hutong and follow it down all the way, take a left and walk five meters and take a right onto Fangzhuanchang Hutong, walk 20 meters and Grandma’s Creative Kitchen is on your left.
Or call 189 1137 3718
Great home food, prepared with love and care and friendly service, all in an antique setting.
Good to surprise your loved one for a date.
Thanks Kristin for the warm reception and the guided tour!
