Indulge with the ‘Lost in Shanghai’ Brunch at Hakkasan Hanway Place
By Iro Kounadis
Hakkasan Hanway Place’s brunch series, ‘Lost in Shanghai’ has introduced a new partnership with Las Olas Spiced Rum. Launched earlier this year, the brunch is inspired by the East Asian metropolis, where elegance meets energy, for true escapism.
Guests can expect a Las Olas cocktail upon arrival, followed by a selection of dishes from the decadent set menu. To start, classic steamed and fried dim sum to share such as theHar Gau with Gold Leaf, theXO scallop and prawn shumaiand theEdamame Puffalongside the iconic HakkasanCrispy duck salad.
Main courses includeStir fry black pepper rib eye with Merlot, theSingapore Chilli Prawn, or thePeppercorn Soy Crispy Chickenwith a selection of side dishes. To end, an impressive platter featuring miniature versions of signature desserts served dramatically amidst dry ice, paired with mini Las Olas Crystal Colada. A Vegetarian version of the brunch is also available.
On the drinks side, each guest will be served a bottle of Rock Angel rose, from the celebrated Château d’Esclans winery in Provence (best known for Whispering Angel). Rock Angel’s complex and structured profile is a sophisticated offering with a Sancerre-like minerality, which is particularly well suited to the sweet and savoury notes of the modern Cantonese cuisine at Hakkasan.
