Hutong
This award-winning Northern Chinese restaurant, located at The Shard in London, have already started cleaning as part of Chinese New Year tradition. Hutong’s week long celebration will be providing guests with their Double Happiness menu, which will feature Lo Hei mixed raw seafood salad. This year guests have a choice of sweet plum sauce or a Hutong-style fiery chilli sauce to accompany the salad. With each salad, the restaurant will be providing a pair of free, extra-long chopsticks.
The number eight is considered to be the luckiest number as it means to prosper. So the restaurant are charging £88 for their set menu. The meal shall also include a fun for all the family lion dance, which wards off evil spirits, otherwise known as nian.
