Coeliac Awareness Week

2020-04-30T10:44:39+01:00

Coeliac Awareness Week begins today (May 13th-19th). Coeliac UK is dedicated to increase the awareness of Coeliac disease and helping people to find out if they may be suffering from it. There is an online assessment that one could take in order to determine if they may have Coeliac disease. Details of this can be found on the Coeliac UK website or by clicking here.  If ever Chinese food could be unimagined as gluten free, it can exist. As our motto continues, that no one should need to feel left out of the party because of a dietary requirement. Everyone can [...]

The taste of Spring

2020-04-30T10:44:39+01:00

A typical Chinese restaurant serving dim sum on the weekend is a scene of the bustle of energy created from coming together over little morsels of beautifully crafted foods. The art of eating dim sum lies in sharing and sampling those delectable delights. It will always taste better when shared and depending on the occasion, Prosecco or wine can make an interesting combination with it. If you prefer --a hot pot of jasmine tea makes the experience holistic. Our chefs have also devised an experience of dim sum that is gluten free. Our pastry chef creates fine rice pastry beauties like our [...]

Pork Belly Clay Pot

2020-04-30T10:44:39+01:00

The beauty of claypot cooking is the holding of moisture without over cooking or burning the food. It is one of the most elegant gourmet dishes and can be enjoyed over lunch or dinner. Choose a claypot the next time you dine in with us. Pair it with our house wine and you will see the subtleties in the tastes and aromas. For those who enjoy a hearty bit of pork, this Chinese braised pork belly concoction is worthy of a meal for one, not on account of the portion, but because after one bite, you will want this steamy hot [...]

The Healing Value of Food

2020-04-30T10:44:40+01:00

The value for healthy, natural and unprocessed food to me, is one of the greater things to offer. It’s a struggle in today’s world as there are various factors that make it difficult to sustain. But therein lies the desire even more so, to see the success of bringing good food and nutrition to the community. Going against the current is a hard thing but is not an option when you feel passionately about something and you just have to do it. There is great scope in the healing value of food and bringing it to the community. The care that [...]

Earth Hour 2019

2020-04-30T10:44:40+01:00

Earth hour is observed as an event to raise awareness of protecting the environment. Earth hour as a movement strives to unite people around the world to get involved in the discussion of preserving nature and actionable ways to go forth doing so. The simple acts matter in this regard. It may be nurturing a plant to life even if it may seem wilted. Choosing to save energy and electricity. Not using harsh pollutants in the soil. Doing away with the use of chemicals in our homes that end up in our rivers and water supply. Or even walking or cycling [...]

Sautéed fillet in mandarin sauce

2020-04-30T10:46:51+01:00

From a range of delicious preparations of steak, one of the most popular in Chinese cuisine is the Sautéed fillet in mandarin sauce. The complexity and simple elegance of this dish encompasses the sweet, sour and crispy. The orange marinade is the key to getting the steak tender and juicy giving it an added burst of citrus. This is an excellent complement to any beef dish. There is also fresh garlic that balances the citrus. And, the onions are caramelised to bring good balance of crunch and sweet. This fillet of steak cooked in a robust Mandarin sauce has become one [...]
