another hakka please!. i never understood why it was so difficult to get a table at hakkasan, that is until i experienced the restaurant myself. immediately you sense a vibrant and energetic vibe, trendy, upscale, lively and stylish are the words that first come to mind as you enter. we were greeted and seated by a beautiful hostess with a bright smile.
dark wood furnishings and intricate paneling adorn the dark dining area were booths and tables are available. agreatbar area to the side was full of very attractive patrons that looked like they were having the time of they’re lives.
our server, suggested for us to start with one of the signature drinks, the hakka( grey goose vodka, ty-ku sake, coconut, lychee juice and passion fruit) absolutely delicious, but be careful, it sneaks up on you!
we were so excited to finally visit the restaurant that we decided to let the chef choose for us, here are some of the dishes he so kindly shared with us:
-dim sum platter
-crispy duck salad (the best salad i’ve ever had)
-crab and sweet corn soup
-pan-fried eggplant with dried shrimp and soy sauce (this dish was a complete surprise and my favorite of the evening)
-black pepper beef tenderloin
-wok fried yellow tail red snapper in king soya
-warm chocolate fondant for dessert
the service, the ambiance and the food exceeded my expectations that evening. if you think it’s a bit pricey, you might want to consider the dim sum prix fixe menu for $28 per guest or the yum cha prix fixe menu for $45 per guest.
i loved this restaurant so much that i returned for the dim sum brunch. don’t miss out on the hakkasan experience, you’ll love it!
