Karaoke cool
Thursday, 11 March 2010

Before agreeing to one’s first KTV (that’s karaoke to the wider world) experience in Beijing, it’s important to understand: this activity is not just about singing. If anything, the music serves as more of a background din for the assorted – often preferred – amusements offered by the nation’s innumerable KTV parlors, both tiny and behemoth.

These establishments have usurped mahjong as the distraction of choice for both modern youth and middle-aged businessmen. Lifestyle pulls together a few of the city’s varied offerings so you can pick the venue best suited to your needs, be they cravings for a superstar singing career or a more literal sort of hunger.

Party World for the food

Party World is a Taiwan-based KTV chain that grew from a CD store there; it came to Beijing in the late 1990s. There are four levels to which crooners can adjust the accompanying music for each song; the so-called “magic sound” provides the best balance between microphone and speaker, while strengthening the back-up music so mic hogs can nail every note without developing vocal nodules.

But the magic sound is only one reason revelers specifically go to Party World. The stronger draw is that this venue hosts five different buffets over the course of the day, offering an appropriate range of dishes for breakfast, lunch, tea time, dinner and late night snacks, plus over a dozen types of juice and tea.

“I have lurou fan [a Taiwanese specialty of stewed minced pork over rice] every time I go to Party World, and I heard some customers go there espe-cially for the free buffet,” said Chen Peng, 26, a Tsinghua University PhD student who has been to all four Party World branches in Beijing. For many KTV junkies, the fact that Party World offers up a buffet isn’t unusual – it’s that the food is noticeably better than its competitors’. “Usually, we don’t expect high quality food or a variety of dishes at the free buffet,” user ouou commented on www.dianping.com. “Yet Party World comparatively has the best food and drinks standards.”

Price: 30 to 77 yuan per hour, depending on box size
