The first post I wanted to write had to be about Hakkasan Mayfair. Though Yautcha remains my all time favourite, this venue holds a
special part in my heart. I originally chose the modern Michelin starred
Chinese restaurant owned by Alan Yau as a birthday surprise for my better half
– and I wasn’t disappointed.
We arrived at the restaurant after taking a detour (just to
throw Big Bhav off track), which was a mistake after walking around in the rain
wearing open toe wedges. Nevertheless, upon entering we were seated at the bar
and greeted with the Hakkasan Cocktail Menu. After studying the menu like I was revising
for an exam, I decided to order “The Hakka”, which houses many of my favourites
– Belvedere Vodka, Lychee, Coconut and Passion Fruit.
Arriving at the dining table, all conversation stopped as we
decided on which dishes to order. Some of the best dishes we had included the melt
in your mouth golden fried soft shell crab and dim sum and oh what a treat it
was.

Secondly, the signature roasted silver cod with champagne
and honey was delicate and rich. Though, a word of warning - this is a dish
that must be shared due to the richness of the sauce.

The evening finished with a delicious milk chocolate and
praline cake with the added touch of “Happy Birthday Bhavin” written in glossy
melted chocolate. If you’re ever in need to find a restaurant for a celebratory
evening or fancy a treat, then keep Hakkasan Mayfair in mind.
