Learning To Make Dim Sum

2020-04-30T10:54:51+01:00

I am excited to announce that we will be hosting our Dim Sum class once again. For all of you curious dim sum enthusiasts and seasoned cooks, this class is going to be a delight for you, as our top dim sum Chef, Chiu will be showing you some of his techniques. Much like the origins of dim sum beginning with a complement to robust and aromatic teas that were served in the tea houses on the silk road, where travellers stopped for yum cha, we will commence the class with a treat of tea tasting and dim sum platter to [...]

Building Team Spirit

2020-04-30T10:54:52+01:00

We've just finished putting the last touches on our holiday season postcard before they go out. It's that time of the year already. It has been a fantastic summer, moving into Autumn. Only the other day I stepped out of the house feeling that burst of cold wind and taking comfort in the excitement of the Christmas season soon approaching. In the midst of designing a new look for our website, to reworking the new menu which I must say, am very happy with; planning a smooth sailing holiday season is most crucial this time of the year. We've been making [...]

What A Wonderful Restaurant…

2020-04-30T10:54:52+01:00

....so said the title of the review, one from an unsuspecting guest at a party held here recently. Having mentioned in my last post about Naturally Chinese soon becoming a special kind of celebration venue, I was touched by this review and it reaffirmed me that this was the reward for giving good service - customer satisfaction to the highest possible degree. This was a significant birthday celebration for a lady in her nineties and we couldn't have been more happy to take on the job of ensuring her party to be happy and memorable. Here is the review that spoke beautifully. Thank you [...]

A Party Venue

2020-04-30T10:54:52+01:00

As we move into Autumn, I am starting to feel the buzz of celebrations and grand parties as the inquiries for bookings are coming in - for birthdays, weddings and other occasions. This to me is the fun part about having the space to host events or even working closely with those who want to create a beautiful party experience for their friends and guests. We recently hosted a grand birthday party celebration for over 60 guests with a spectacular menu created by our chefs - a ten course meal dressed to the nines à la Chinese with tantalising fruit platters [...]

Moonlight Festival

2020-04-30T10:54:52+01:00

Along with the many traditions in the Chinese calendar, the Moonlight Festival marks the change from summer to autumn at the harvest. This year it falls on the 8th of September. It is probably one of the more intimate of celebrations with close families as the tradition is to enjoy a grand feast with foods from the harvest, followed by an after dinner tea sipping. Everyone relishes their harvest moon cakes, all in anticipation of admiring the beautiful full moon together as a family. These past few days leading up to the weekend of festivities has given me the chance to [...]

Food Heaven

2020-04-30T10:54:52+01:00

I've probably spoken to customers in length about the grandeur of traditional Chinese celebrations where there isn't usually room to compromise on any part of the feast; as the main aim is to give the guests a good time and serve them the very best in terms of food. As we have been seeing a steady growth in parties and events being celebrated at Naturally Chinese, what excited me the most was when I was approached to host a traditional Chinese dinner celebration for the birth of a new born. Occasions such as these are some of the grandest in Chinese [...]

Compliments Of The Chef

2022-06-04T13:34:52+01:00

The last few weeks have been especially exciting as we've been working on some new concepts for the menu. It's reaffirmed me about having a great team of chefs who are not only passionate about the food but highly skilled at what they do. Their effortless way of delivering excellent dishes has proven to be an art in itself. Apart from our daily lunch and dinners, there are those occasions when a special event calls for the traditional dishes that are essential to Chinese celebrations. Working with delicate foods like turbot, lobster, crab, even jellyfish require patience and care and a competent [...]

Midsummer Nights Feasts

2020-04-30T10:54:53+01:00

I'm working on the new gluten free menu at the moment, a project that fuels my goals of catering to an emerging group, keeping the tradition of Chinese cuisine but infusing a modern perspective. These are the fun aspects of running a restaurant, the creative part  I look forward to most after dealing with the mundane and administrative side. With all things, it has taken a while to sculpt a niche, and feeling like it is all work in progress is a good thing; keeps things fresh and exciting. This month, we are bringing out a selection of what we'd like [...]

Authenticity For Living

2020-04-30T10:54:53+01:00

In the midst of materialism, running the race to financial freedom and conspicuous consumption, the need for authenticity might be becoming even greater to us. We all have our path to focus on and how we drive our business is indicative most likely of how we run our lives. The man across the street has his unique direction to take just as I have mine. And in threading our own paths, it leads us to finding an originality and authenticity that is unique to each one of us. In my business, I don’t pretend to be anything other than what I [...]

School’s Out For Summer

2020-04-30T10:54:53+01:00

Making the best of a typical English Summer can be an experience to remember. I have relished many pretty Summers that have been collected along the way with my children who are all grown up now. I recall the days when my children were little and planning a list of activities to keep them entertained during the summer presented its challenges but brought a joy tenfold. Children look forward eagerly to the summer holiday, a couple of months of fun in the sun and time away from school. I do miss the days of spending long afternoons working on activities with [...]
