Opening just before Spring Festival, Hulu was already crowded at lunch and dinnertime. In the afternoon, people enjoyed quality tea time with a rich choice of desserts, including lemon tart, cheesecake, opera cake and caramel tart.
According to Meituan-Dianping, the latter, a dark chocolate souffle is the dessert most favored by customers. "With a moderate amount of sweetness and its soft texture, it brings a feeling of happiness," commented one online critic.
With few restaurants remaining open after 10 pm in Sanlitun, Hulu grabbed the opportunity to extend its opening hours.
The diner takes last orders at 11 pm from Sunday to Thursday, and at 12 am on Friday and Saturday.
With bottles of wine priced between 200 and 3000 yuan, late night diners of every budget range can enjoy a glass or two with their meal.
Cocktails are also a good choice, especially while there's a special offer of any two cocktails with two of the five most popular bites for 168 yuan after 9 pm every night.
