Housed in a reconstructed industrial-style courtyard complex known as 1949, this chic res-

CHINESE DUMPLINGS
Fun for the kids - but delicious for parents as well - this restaurant dazzles diners with its
multicoloured
jiaozi
(
饺子
; boiled dumplings). The dough dyes are all natural (carrots for
orange, spinach for green) and the fillings are as good as you'll find in Beijing.
