Colibri Beijing Sanlitun: Cupcakes, Macaroons & Cannelloni

I helped open Colibri cafe for cupcakes in Beijing. Watching the chef make macaroons, not La Durée or Pierre Hérme, but edible, colourful, nice and enjoyable. They also make batches fresh everyday, great to get them on the go for gifts so you don’t turn up empty handed at a friend’s place.

New items on the menu, chicken cannelloni, good (heavy) stuff, pasta sheet cooked al dente although the filling could do with more cheese :)

Pesto penne pasta, interesting combination of ruccola and salami. Too many things going on for a simple pasta, but well, decent. Not my preferred choice, although it seems to be a hot favourite with the Chinese diners.

Slow cooked duck leg with rice, very Asian, very nice.
