This autumn, Hakkasan will launch a limited edition golden menu to celebrate the annual Chinese holiday, Golden Week. Guests will also walk through a ‘river of gold’ as they walk throughout the restaurants, where low golden lighting will ripple across the wooden latticing of the cages, adding to the golden week experience. Gold dim sum and a gold dessert will feature within the exclusive eight course menu and will be available at both Hakkasan restaurants in London from Monday 24th September to Sunday 7th October.
A highlight of the exclusive menu is the Golden dim sum trio which begins the eight courses, featuring a crispy lamb puff, chilli crab dumpling and har gau covered in gold leaf. Guests will also enjoy the Hakkasan Signature Peking duck with soy braised quail egg. The menu also includes Crispy suckling pig with spiced soy sauce and Steamed black kingfish fillet with saffron sauce in addition to Salted egg yolk fried rice. The Golden Week menu finishes off with a Touch of Gold, an exclusive black and gold dessert featuring poached kumquat, sesame crumble, black sesame tuile and a Venezuelan chocolate foam. Guests will be able to order the exclusive Golden Week cocktail, the Golden era, featuring Diplomático Planas white rum, pomelo, lemon and five spice, topped off with Louis Roederer Champagne and sprayed with gold mist. The Golden Week experience will begin as soon as guests step into the Hakkasan doors as both of the restaurants will alter the rippled lighting throughout the restaurants to become glistening gold, giving the appearance of a ‘river of gold’ when guests walk into the restaurant. To ensure the experience in the restaurants is enjoyable and efficient, Hakkasan has Mandarin-speaking staff and accepts China Union Pay, the Chinese credit card of choice, in addition to WeChat pay and AliPay for Chinese guests. Hakkasan Group has also launched WeChat and Weibo channels, a first for the restaurant group, in order to communicate directly to the Chinese community in London and across the globe. The Golden Week menu is priced at £88 per person, in tradition with China’s lucky number eight, for parties of two or more. It will be available at both Hakkasan Hanway Place and Hakkasan Mayfair from now until 7th October. All dishes will also be available to order a la carte.

Traditional Afternoon Tea has been given a glam-rock makeover at K West Hotel in Shepherds Bush. Guests can swap traditional hot drinks for tea-infused cocktails, and even enjoy the treat late at night like a true rockstar from 10pm-12am. Who doesn’t love cocktails and cake at midnight?
Formerly the BBC Building Kensington House in the 60s, an endless list of Rock ‘N’ Roll royalty has stayed, played and misbehaved at K West – Bob Marley and the Wailers, Bowie, The Kinks and Roxy Music, to name a few. Priced at £24.50 and served from 2-6pm in Studio Bar & Kitchen, the Glam Rock Afternoon Tea pays tribute to the hotel’s music heritage in a playful, fun and stylish way. The tea will be served on vintage record covers, with electric blue and pink teapots and teacups, adding some glam to the rock. A Glam Rock Prosecco Afternoon Tea is available for £31.50, and the ‘Rock ‘N’ Cocktails Midnight Tea is priced at £36.50. This cocktail tea will include a selection of five shots of cocktails, or one cocktail each. All tipples will be made using different flavours of fruit tea, such as ‘Cherry Baby’ with Cherry Liquor, Fair Goji, Cherry Blossom Tea, blackberries and Cherry Bitters; or ‘Wig-Wam Bam’ with Green Mint Tea Absolute Raspberry Infused Vodka, grenadine, blackberries, mint leaves and lime. All of the Rock Tea’s will include fresh ‘rolling scones’ with clotted cream & strawberry compote, as well as a selection of delectable Red berry Macaroons; White Chocolate Nougat Lollipops; Hibiscus Turkish Delight; Nutella and Mascarpone on Peruvian maize bread and Chocolate “Smörgåstårta” Sandwich Cake. A selection of delicious, organic, pinwheel sandwiches is also included, such as Mozzarella and Pesto on sundried tomato bread; Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese on golden corn bread and Honey Roast Ham and tangy Mustard Mayonnaise on spinach bread. The Glam Rock Afternoon Teas will be served in Studio Bar & Kitchen, which has also been designed to reflect the hotel’s rich music heritage.
