Malaysian – Sambal Urban
That restaurateur Cho is good at what he does is irrefutable. His new restaurant, Sambal Urban, features the same dishes as Café Sambal, like the Vietnamese roll (¥25) paired with an authentic and delectable peanut sauce, the subtle yet impressive rojak (¥40), the succulent and perfectly marinated satay chicken (¥50), the nyo nya captain curry chicken (¥55), the beef randam (¥55) and of course, the best mojitos in town. Urban's décor adds a welcome dash of modern elegance to Beijing's dining scene. Somewhere between the cleverly mismatched white Ming chairs, the crystal chandelier and the orange lacquered bar there floats a premonition of Beijing's future in classy and quality dining.
