We came, we saw, we tasted. On Saturday, everybody who had reserved for the week before's Miracle Berry tasting party finally convened at The Lab on Jiaozhou Lu. Before us was a spread of everything from bittermelon to beans, tomatoes to tabasco sauce... and of course, lemons. Lots of lemons. more ›

Okay, so ever since we first read about the miracle berry in the New York Times, we've been hankering to try it. The berry, which sounds like something out of science fiction, allegedly distorts your sweet taste buds so they become responsive to acids rather than sugars. Lemons taste delicious, goat cheese turns to sweet cream and Guinness tastes like chocolate milk (not that we needed something to make Guinness taste good to us). Anyway, point is there's now going to be a flavor tripping party on the public lawn right outside the Okura Garden Hotel on Saturday at 5pm, and to join you need to reserve by TODAY. Email albert.tien@gmail.com and come with 80RMB on Saturday. We (and our curious taste buds) can't wait. Source: Cityweekend more ›
