CBD Lunch Break Escape Plan: Unlocking a Dual Life at "Glamorous Centro"

🍴 Who says business lunches have to be all suits and coffee? "Glamorous Centro" at the Kerry Hotel, Beijing, creates a tipsy laboratory for CBD workers with its mix of futuristic vibes and everyday charm. 🌆 It features the most thoughtful design for workers in Beijing: "CEO seats" by the window are perfect for discussing deals worth hundreds of millions, while the sofa area separated by sheer curtains hides office elites rushing to finish PPTs on their MacBooks. In the evening, the outdoor terrace offers a chance to catch the CBD's evening breeze and pretend you're in Manhattan. Centro's menu is like the Beijing version of "A Bite of China" – "Under the hutong eaves, the taste buds travel the world!" The bold fusion takes your taste buds on a roller coaster ride! 🌮 Beijing Tapas: The Renaissance of Fried Sausage Old Beijing fried sausage gets a French twist! Crispy sausage slices are layered with Brie cheese, pea puree, and salted cod crumbs, drizzled with honey mustard sauce. The taste is surprisingly delicious! The combination of carbs, fat, and seafood is like a hutong grandpa suddenly wearing haute couture – an international flair with a down-to-earth vibe! 🥗 Local Vegetarian Staples: The Rebel Youth of the Vegetarian World Beijing white pear slices are as crisp as paper, Yunnan truffle vinegar-soaked bell pepper sauce is spicy and bright, and the Hericium mushrooms are crisp and tender like white fungus. This vegetarian cold dish uses a "flavor bomb" to prove that vegetarian dishes can also be mind-blowing. 🥩 Applewood Smoked Local Treasure - Longjiang Wagyu Longjiang Wagyu is smoked with applewood to create a caramel-colored crust, while the inside is so tender it melts in your mouth. It's served with Dingxi potatoes, buttered pigeon eggs, and a dip made from erba sauce and fermented bean curd braised pork juice – the richness of old Beijing sesame sauce and the delicacy of French sauce create a "Sino-French Tale" on your tongue. "During the work week, we rely on coffee to keep going; on weekends, we rely on alcohol to revive ourselves" – the drink menu here accurately captures the A and B sides of the working life. ☕️ Lattes stirred with caramel lollipops have an off-the-charts cool factor and are the perfect pick-me-up for PPT warriors when paired with a cheese platter. 🍹 Lychee Martini is a must-try signature drink! It offers the same allure as the "mature beauty and wine" ads, with the sweet lychee fragrance wrapped in the sharpness of vodka. 📍INFO - Address: 1st Floor, Kerry Hotel, 1 Guanghua Road, Chaoyang District - Hours: 10:00–2:00 (Jazz live every Wednesday night)
