Hakkasan Restaurant, Dubai

One of the most amazing Chinese restaurants I have had the pleasure to dine at.

For those of you that haven't had the pleasure, allow me to introduce it to you. Hakkasan is an up market Chinese restaurant located in Emirates Boulevard, Dubai. From the minute I stepped in I loved it. The décor, the ambience....amazing. We were met at the door, and since we had reservations, they asked us if we wanted to proceed to our table immediately or have a drink at the bar. We chose to go to our table.

We were given our menus by the host and given time to peruse them. Our waiter, then came and introduced himself before disappearing and allowing us time to go through the extensive menu, and extensive it is....if you're a first timer there, the sheer number of meal choices available is a tad intimidating to say the least. However, the waiter is always willing to recommend something.
We settled on 2 starters and 2 main courses. They're sharing meals so the portions are more than enough. For our starters, we had the dim sum platter(I hope that's what it's called) and the jasmine tea smoked beef ribs. They were absolutely delicious. Melt in your mouth, lick your lips delicious.

For the main, we had the spicy chicken and the Chilean sea bass, along with vegetable fried rice.We favored the sea bass more than the chicken. I don't know if it was because we over ate the starters but as good as the main courses were, they could not compare to the starters.

The service is spectacular. The waiter felt like our very own personal waiter because he was always on hand for our requests, occasionally checking in on us with some banter but careful not to overdo it.

 Unfortunately, we were too full to sample the desserts. Like really, I literally had a hard time getting up. That's what happens when food is that good. The company also helped a lot;-)

For those who are interested, the meal will cost you upwards of aed500 for two people.

Definitely going back...going back today actually. That good people.

Lol...Went back...for my very good friend Sheila's farewell dinner.

All the best darling...xoxoxo
