Made in China
The Grand Hyatt's newest addition offers traditional northeastern and Beijing dishes in a bustling open-kitchen restaurant. Made in China serves the capital's most palatabledou zhi(fermented bean puree), excellentma doufu(mashed soybean) and the ubiquitouszhajiang mian(wheat noodles with black bean mince), a dish that has spawned its own chain of restaurants. There's a lean Beijing duck prepared in a manner reminiscent of Jiuhua Shan. A whole duck is pricey at ¥198 ($25), though the presentation and flavors are impeccable. There's the odd fusion twist such as fois gras with sesame pancake, and there are excellent plain dishes such as tonghao vegetable with rice vinegar and garlic sauce. Desserts are not the strong point of Beijing cuisine; sensibly, only Western desserts are offered. Right next door you'll find the sleekRed Moon Bar, perfect for an apertif.
