Romancing the burger

Beijing's posh Langham hotel has found much to love in the humble ham-burger, elevating the every-man sandwich into a series of gourmet treats. Settle for the double-cheese beef burger (with avocado) if you like, but give the whole list a good look first: there's the grilled duck burger, grilled salmon & prawn burger, the Japanese snap-per burger (with wasabi mayo and fruit salsa), the Indian tandoori chicken burger and the vegetarian smoked tofu burger. All 138 yuan except the tofu burger (it's 128 yuan); all include a 500ml imported draft beer, which chef Raymond Chen rates as the ultimate burger pairing.

5:30 pm-1 am, at Fuel, 1/F, Langham Place, Beijing Capital Airport; 1 Er Jing Road, Terminal 3. 010-6457-5555.
