Jingle in the Jing

We kick started the month by having some Hot Pot at a local restaurant near our block.
We chose some beef meatballs, cabbage, mushrooms, spinnach and dumplings to cook in our Hot Soup, and for the dip we chose sesame paste and chilly sauce.
Trust us!There is nothing better than some steaming hotpot to warm you up during the cold spell!

Another sinful indulgence is the Ice cream hot pot @ Haagen Dazs -warm ice cream , fruits , waffles in a bubbling chocolate soup. :-)

This month, we tried out Niajo, a Spanish restaurant at Sanlitun's Nali Patio. We had the Roast Suckling Pig and Chicken Paella for main course and ofcourse Sangria!
Though expensive,it was the first time we were having authentic Spanish food- we thought the place was definitely worth going back to.

Our favorite hangout now is Apothecary (next to Niajo). Cocktails and dining. This place specialises in Japanese bartending techniques and its fun to watch these guys doing their mixology. They also serve Contemporary American Creole food.
We ordered the House made Charcuterie Platter (125rmb) and we also loved the sweet potato pickled fries (40rmb).

It's Christmas time! We ordered our Christmas Tree on taobao.com and put it up just in time for Christmas.We had friends over for brunch to kick in the holiday spirit.

After the Christmas mass at South Cathedral, we headed home. We spent the rest of our Christmas at home wishing friends and family over the phone.
We brewed some mulled wine using the bottle of Glogg we got for Christmas and 'twas movie night with good old movies on DVD.

Hope you all had a very warm and cosy Christmas...
