Mojitos in Beijing - HouHaiHong

Price - 20 yuan (roughly 2€)

Location - HouHaiHong - a bar with a terrace by the Houhai lake

As our followers know because of our previous post - mojitop.com travelled to Beijing, China to find their best mojitos.

The first experience wasn't very encouraging, but since we're dedicated people we continued pursuing our goal - finding a great mojito. Our second try was at HouHaiHong, which could be translated as "The popular in HouHai" (and HouHai might be the Queen's lake or the "Lake after" - we don't really know (if any of our readers can help us at this, we'll be happy to learn some chinese!)).

Anyway, the second mojito was quite good. Good balance of sugar and mint and some lemon that gave it a citric touch (even when it's not the same a lime...). A good mojito according to the two mojiexperts at the venue.

The size was reasonably big and the terrace had nice views over the lake. And the price was also good (according to our standards).

It was amenised by a chinese guy with a guitar singing - a very extended tradition in the area, where most bars offer live-music. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too kind with us and we had to finish our mojitos inside!

Special thanks to Wim for taking us to the area and translating the name of the bar :)
