Char Siu Bao

2020-04-30T10:46:52+01:00

A bite into one of these heavenly delights is a treat to behold. Going for a dim sum experience cannot be complete without a serving of char sui bao that is fresh, and warm, with a texture - as a customer recently said - that feels like biting into a soft cloud. At Naturally Chinese, this Cantonese specialty is served steamed. A filling of barbecued pork makes a delicious complement to this delectable pastry. It can almost be likened to a little cake. Char sui bao can also be served crisp with a golden glaze. However we at Naturally Chinese only [...]

The Art of Nature

2020-04-30T10:46:52+01:00

New Year Feast

2020-04-30T10:46:52+01:00

Out with the old, in with the new – it’s the time to get together with friends and family to toast to good health and good fortune. I recall when I was a young girl, the new year festival was the biggest occasion of the year. The days leading up to it would prompt our family to do a deep clean at home to get rid of any ill feeling and to make room for good fortune to enter. No matter what life’s obstacles, this time was special and a chance to start fresh on a clean slate. Everyone would be given [...]
