Elevate your palate at Hutong in The Shard

Be transported to old China at Hutong on the 33rd floor of The Shard 🇨🇳

Serving delicious Northern Chinese and Sichuan cuisine, dining at Hutong is fantastic day or night with stunning views of London. The place is huge, with private dining areas for seating or standing, with set menus served or canapés and bowl food.

You must try the refreshingly sweet and sour cocktail Comfortable Numb, with Sichuan pepper-infused Grey Goose vanilla vodka, lychee and fizz 🌶️

As someone who’s been plenty of times, I’m sure I’ll be back again soon!

Girls' night out with the Volders ladies - Saturday 17th June 2023

At John Volder's , dad's birthday, the female Volders cousins all got together and decided we were due for a catch up so I organised dinner and karaoke with the girls. The girls that came were Casey, Emma, Sarah, Claire, Blair and me.

The night started Hutong where we had dinner and a few drinks. After dinner we headed to the karaoke bar at Bosa bar. The girls loved karaoke and wanted to stay but we could extend our time there. We had more drinks and played Jinga. We made our way to Electric Bar for a bit of a dance. We danced the night away. The place played house music. We met a group of girls who was celebrating a birthday offered drinks all night. I also bumped into Matt's friend/ex boss there.

Overall, it was a very fun night. They want to do it again with the boys next time. It looks like another event for me to organise.

Beijing's Hutongs: A Window into China's Rich Cultural Heritage

Beijing's hutongs are narrow, winding alleys lined with traditional courtyard homes, offering a glimpse into the city's past and China's rich cultural heritage.

The word "hutong" originally referred to the narrow alleys formed by the walls of traditional Chinese courtyard houses. Today, the term refers to the entire network of alleyways and courtyard homes that make up Beijing's historic neighborhoods.

In the past, hutongs were the primary living quarters for Beijing's residents, with entire families living in one courtyard home. Today, many of these homes have been converted into trendy cafes, boutique shops, and hotels, while others remain as residences for local families.

Visitors to Beijing's hutongs can experience traditional Chinese culture and lifestyle firsthand. Many hutongs have preserved their original architecture, giving visitors a sense of what life was like in Beijing centuries ago. In addition, many of the small shops and restaurants in these neighborhoods offer authentic Beijing-style cuisine and unique handmade crafts.

For those interested in history, the hutongs offer a wealth of knowledge about Beijing's past. Each neighborhood has its own story to tell, from the rise and fall of influential families to the impact of war and politics on the city's residents. By exploring the hutongs, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of Beijing's rich and complex history.

Despite their cultural significance, many of Beijing's hutongs are facing the threat of destruction. In recent years, many hutongs have been demolished to make way for modern developments, leading to concerns about the loss of Beijing's cultural heritage. Fortunately, there are ongoing efforts to preserve the hutongs and raise awareness about their importance.

Life in the hutongs is vibrant and dynamic, with a strong sense of community and tradition. The narrow alleys and courtyard homes foster a close-knit social structure, where neighbors often interact and rely on each other for support.

In the mornings, the streets come alive with the sounds of vendors selling breakfast items like steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks. Elderly residents can be seen practicing tai chi in the courtyards, while children play games like hopscotch and jump rope on the streets.

In the evenings, families gather in the courtyards to share a meal and catch up on the day's events. The narrow streets are also home to a variety of small businesses, including convenience stores, hair salons, and bicycle repair shops, giving the neighborhoods a lively and bustling atmosphere.

One unique aspect of life in the hutongs is the use of communal facilities. For example, many hutongs have shared public restrooms, which are maintained by the residents themselves. This sense of shared responsibility helps foster a strong sense of community and connection among the hutong residents.

Hutong is a window into a bygone era of Chinese culture and lifestyle, and it is a unique experience for foreigners to witness and appreciate.
