Popular Dim Sum Sunday is now a brunch treat for the whole weekend For some, it’s London’s most famous Chinese restaurant but Hakkasan Hanway Place announces itself rather modestly for a restaurant which has so much to shout about. Off Tottenham Court Road, in one of the West End’s dingy back streets, you could easily […]
Yauatcha Soho – Chateau d’Esclans and Dim Sum
Dim Sum and Rosé Wine at Yauatcha Soho: Are you still unconvinced about the merits of rosé? Maybe it’s been a while since you tried one. I think that, like me, you will be pleasantly surprised if you do crack open a bottle. In the last 5 to 6 years production methods have come on, […]
Afternoon Tea – China Tang at the Dorchester
China Tang at the Dorchester – the Other Afternoon Tea! The Dorchester Hotel, that most British institution; afternoon tea in the Promenade or dinner at Alain Ducasse are special, ultra-luxury experiences for anyone. Of course, I was keen to try the newly launched Tea at Tang’s, a dim sum feast with handcrafted premium teas and went […]

Ping Pong – Westfield Shepherds Bush
Ping Pong’s new Innocent Indulgence Collection: Shopping In West London has never been easier; Westfield in White City has virtually every shop from luxury designer to high street standards all under one roof.

Dim Sum Lunch at Royal China, Baker Street
Hong Kong Chinese in London at Royal China: I remember being told that Chinese food was healthy. There’s no dairy, very little gluten, a lot of vegetables and a lot of steamed dishes.
