Bali Thai
Bali Thai offers good Thai food and a number of decent Indonesian dishes. Indonesian cuisine has yet to be done well in Beijing, but Bali Thai goes some way toward filling that gap. The Indonesian offerings on the menu include classics such as tahu telur, satay campur, mixed skewers, rendang, beef cooked in coconut milk and spices, and the quintessential cendol, a drink made with coconut milk, palm sugar and a dollop of pandan-flavoured jelly.
