[Revisited] Lao Tan

By Michael O., Dec 6th, 2007 | In Dining

I often find myself, like everyone else, at Logo Bar, a few nights a week. While most of the drunks there prefer to grab a few skewers of yang rou chuan, I'm happy that one of my favorite Chinese restaurants is right across the street.

Lao Tan, on the second floor of 42 Xingfu Lu, has been around for a couple of years now and serves some of the most authentic Guizhou minority food in town. Last week I went with my friends Drunk Monk and ChaCha. ChaCha is from a small town in Guizhou, and was an excellent guide through the lengthy menu. There's a fantastic selection of traditional Guizhou snacks, hot-pots, entrees, and home-made wine. They've recently printed a bilingual picture menu, so if you're not familiar with Guizhou food, it's much less intimidating to order now.
