Mother’s Day 2017

2020-04-30T10:50:51+01:00

Naturally Chinese will be dedicating a weekend for Mother's Day 2017. Why not gather the family and plan a weekend to remember? As Spring is steadily coming in, there is more time to enjoy long walks, Spring lunches or celebratory dinners. Mother's Day is one of the busiest days in the year for most restaurants -- lunch being the most highly booked, therefore we strongly advise making your reservations early to avoid disappointment. We will be hosting two lunch sittings: 12pm 2pm (some sittings can be booked at 1:45pm) We also have available our private function room for larger parties who would [...]

International Women’s Day

2020-04-30T10:51:06+01:00

We've seen some tremendous movements taken place since International Women's Day 2016. It's amazing when women come together to achieve a shared goal, the impact is contagious. Even if it meant taking a few little steps to get there. International Women's Day is about celebrating the progress of social, cultural, economic and political achievements for all women in all walks of life. And in seeing so many advancements that have taken place, there is still so much that needs to change to help women do more and contribute more to the world. Women need to support other women, be ambitious for change [...]

Taste of Gluten Free

2020-04-30T10:51:06+01:00

Embracing a gluten free diet is about making a lifestyle change --one based either out of necessity to not be ill from eating gluten, or the cutting out of gluten from ones eating habits and diet. The popularity of gluten free eating has been growing due to the awareness and consciousness of our bodies, our health and desire to stay vital. The taste of gluten free foods and dishes is evolving in a sophisticated way thereby making it very appealing and appetising to the taste buds. The goal at Naturally Chinese when we decided to serve gluten free food was to [...]

Natural Flavourings

2020-04-30T10:51:06+01:00

Natural flavourings are what we promote at Naturally Chinese. For a few years now, our Chefs have concocted their own chill oils made in house. These have been a popular favourite with many or our dishes on the menu. A particular complement has been to the raw salad that we offer as a part of a detox and cleansing. Our goal is to have for every dish a transparency and clarity of ingredients. In Asian cuisine, very often the range of vegetables runs between a variety of colours, textures and tastes. This is to bring balance of sweet, bitter, astringent and [...]

Flash of Taro

2020-04-30T10:51:07+01:00

Taro dumplings are a very special kind of appetizer in Chinese dim sum. It's hugely popular in Hong Kong, sometimes offered as a pastry because of it's somewhat sweet taste. The crispiness of the shell is like biting into a pastry of sorts. I've always been fascinated by this dish because of the way it is cooked and how each piece is a unique delectable piece of art in itself. At Naturally Chinese, our pastry chef dexterously achieves the tall flecks of pastry, which is what makes this food so coveted in Chinese dim sum. The trick he says is to [...]

Valentine’s Weekend

2020-04-30T10:51:07+01:00

We all know that "love" is a broad word that can be taken in many contexts depending on how the situation and circumstances play out. In some countries the tradition of Valentine's Day is that of cherishing friends and loved ones, in addition to being celebrated as a toast to romantic love. I imagine that there are often mixed feelings on this day as there are those who feel they have more of a reason to celebrate than others. For those who are single at this time, this is a perfect opportunity to be with close friends, look forward to the coming [...]

New Beginnings

2020-04-30T10:51:07+01:00

With only a couple of days to Chinese new year, a few tasks remain to be completed for the arrival of the year of the Rooster. The week leading up to Chinese New Year is bustling with preparations in most Chinese families' household. It begins with a deep clean of the house to make room for good fortune to enter. Every nook and cranny is emptied of anything redundant. All the rubbish discarded. If there is an altar, a thorough clean and adorning fresh flowers on it is customary. This is followed with decorations of red calligraphy denoting various good wishes to [...]
