Dim Sum Weekend

2020-04-30T10:51:08+01:00

It's almost like a ritual these days -to do a weekend Dim Sum brunch. I see many of you who frequently make a reservation to have a dim sum lunch with the family on either a Saturday or Sunday. 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 [...]

Autumn Calling

2020-04-30T10:51:08+01:00

The light is one of the most beautiful this time of the year (barring the dark gloomy days that we can have in the UK). Autumn calls upon a time to reflect on the year gone by and the one that is to come. The months leading upto christmas in the autumnal season are some of my favourite as they are usually the best time to plan for a new year ahead. It's a good time to get creative not feeling the pressure of the new year......yet. For those days when the air is crisp with a whisper of winter coming, [...]

Party Planning

2020-04-30T10:51:28+01:00

A party this time of the year doesn't have to be time consuming or painstaking. With the cold weather settling in, it can feel overwhelming to arrange a venue, cater, and plan all the little details. We hope that with all those to-do things on your list, we can be of help to your party planning needs. As you might have seen, we've set our Christmas menu. This year we've included a choice of Prosecco as our complimentary drink to accompany the meal. Naturally Chinese will be open the month of December right through to Christmas Eve, December 24th. We will be [...]

Gluten Free Chinese Food

2020-04-30T10:51:29+01:00

Rice is probably one of the foremost foods to cater to anyone who is Coeliac. Interestingly enough, rice has the power to also satisfy hunger and sustain for a longer period of time. In Chinese tradition, rice lies at the heart of all meals. When we decided to have gluten free Chinese food on the menu, the choice wasn't hard although it is a combined and involved effort to make sure a smooth process is followed. But it also gave us a clear sense of why additives and MSG were not necessary in our cooking. With a little extra diligence and knowledge, [...]

Mixed Vegetable Medley

2020-04-30T10:51:29+01:00

One of our favourite vegetarian options on the menu is our mixed vegetable. Doused in a light oil, this medley of pak choi, beansprouts, water chestnuts and carrots make a delicious accompaniment to any meal, lunch or dinner. This is our equivalent of a cole slaw or a potato salad on the side. Also filled with nutrients, it adds to a balance in the meal on the whole. In our specially designed four course set menus, the mixed vegetable medley is a key dish: high protein four course "feel good" set menu (for 2 or more people) includes: tasting platter; classic crispy [...]

Only eight weeks to go before the biggest celebration of the year. For me, the build up to the day is always exciting. And early as it might seem, it's always good to plan ahead.

A Sweet Finish

2020-04-30T10:51:29+01:00

Every meal should finish on a sweet note. It need not always be a grand creamy gateau, or a sugary tart. It could be a cup of perfectly made coffee of coffee liqueur. Dessert has been incorporated even during ancient times. Back then, they didn't have any of our sophisticated baking or sugar craft. They would serve grapes, dates or honey. The point may very well have been to clear the palette and quite simply, to end on a sweet note. Chinese cuisine doesn't have the vast range of sugar and patisserie. But times are changing and you might find more of [...]

Art Of Cooking

2020-04-30T10:51:29+01:00

Whether it be chopping, tossing, flash frying or carving a flower out of a vegetable, there's an art or science to it all. And no matter the same formulaic recipe, it still differs from individual to individual, therein the art of cooking it. Like any art, it takes years of practice to cultivate a mode, a pattern, a personal touch that makes the cooking unique. Every little morsel of dim sum brought to your table has been handcrafted dexterously in a matter of seconds by a highly skilled chef. Our chefs at Naturally Chinese carry the depth and breadth of experience [...]

It's that time again, can you believe it? Last Christmas only felt like yesterday and here we are already planning the next. With all the little tweaks and changes that have gone on at Naturally Chinese, we also want this Christmas to reflect these changes. Planning a Christmas menu is always a fun challenge, as we want to create a delicious experience that delights the senses and brings a festive spirit to the season. This year, we have included some more treats like a complimentary glass of either red, white or prosecco, delectable meats like crispy aromatic duck and crispy lamb. [...]

Squid Fillet

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

Fluffy, mildly savoury and crunchy - this delicate appetizer is a new favourite on our menu. It also is one for all seasons being great to pair with a Summer wine and deliciously comforting with a warming wine in winter. The squid fillet can be found on our appetizer/ starter section. The batter is made from potato starch which brings a new twist onto a typical tempura or deep fried style dish. Red chili peppers and green onion make the perfect complement taste and sight wise. Originally a Honk Kong style preparation, but at Naturally Chinese we are getting it down to [...]
