Dim Sum Sunday at Hakkasan London



Mr. A’s friends, A&M, sent him food pictures from London.  The two travelers had the “Dim Sum Sunday” at Hakkasan.
The meal started with a cocktail.  A bottle of Louis Roederer Brut Premier NV Champagne was served with food.  The first course was a crispy duck salad:


which was followed by steamed dim sum -- har gau (shrimp dumpling), shumai (pork dumpling) with scallop and fish roe on top, Chinese chive dumpling (the green ones), duck and yam bean dumpling (the orange ones):


and baked dim sum – (from left to right) golden radish crab meat pastry, smoked duck and pumpkin puff, royal king crab and truffle roll, baked venison puff:


Three main dishes - (clockwise from top) XO seafood and water chestnut lettuce wrap, asparagus, stir-fry black pepper rib eye beef with merlot – were accompanied by ginger and spring onion fried rice:


The meal ended with a selection of dessert and an after dinner cocktail.

All for £58 per person, which was surprisingly reasonable for a high-end London restaurant.
