A little piece of Hong Kong in Beijing. This café serves up medicinal teas (a lot tastier than it sounds) and light, MSG-free Cantonese dishes. The interior boasts a towering array of herbs that goes into the selection of soups and tea, a perfect complement to the clean, crisp flavors on display in the cuisine.
Going Herbal
Bringing a taste of Hong Kong to Sanlitun, this cafe offers health-conscious Cantonese cuisine. They keep their word with dishes like a grease-free Lion’s Head meatball (¥12 each) and a delicate stew of braised shrimps, towel gourd and yam (¥28). We haven’t found any way one who can make fried beef hofun noodles (¥30), Hong Kong-style curries (¥32) or egg tarts (¥10) any healthier. Herbal’s versions are fairly run-of-the-mill. Our papaya, peanuts, beans and chicken feet soup was brimming with flavors. It’s a shame Herbal’s wasn’t serving any of the other soups listed or a number of the desserts and snacks. The airy interior is drafty in winter, but we liked the towering array of medicinal herbs above our table. Some of the sprigs and twigs (the waiters weren’t sure which) found their way into our wholesome “flu fighter” tea (¥12). All in all, only Herbal’s smoothies really excel. Our frozen coconut, mango and herbal jelly (¥23) was like a fruit sundae, only somehow good for you.
