This September, the Executive Chef of Hakkasan Chef Tong Chee Hwee and Chef David Muñoz, Executive Chef of StreetXO in Mayfair, will be joining forces to celebrate Golden Week at Hakkasan.
Golden Week is considered to be China’s biggest annual national holiday, spanning seven days in October where all workers are given three days of paid time off. The holiday marks the founding of the Republic of China; many Chinese people will travel to London to enjoy a luxury shopping experience.
Golden Week takes place between 1st and 7th October, however, Hakkasan will be offering the new menu for one month to extend the celebrations.
The limited edition menu will feature brand new dishes bringing together their collective and diverse influences to create a one-off dining experience at Hakkasan. Combining Chef Tong’s incomparable style with David’s inimitable approach to fine dining, creating high octane dishes that take inspiration from cuisines around the world, the new menu will be unlike anything seen in Hakkasan before.
Muñoz will also be working with Hakkasan’s award winning bar team and pastry chefs to bring his reputation as the ‘enfant terrible of Spanish gastronomy’ to bear on this limited edition menu. All dishes will also be available a la carte.
Commenting on the collaboration David Muñoz enthused: “When I first came to London, I had only cooked in Mediterranean restaurants. I had one meal at Hakkasan and it was a revelation. I knew I had to work there. I watched and I learned and I practiced the techniques and recipes I saw in the kitchen and this is how I began to develop my own style that you see at StreetXO. It is an honour to work alongside Chef Tong to bring my own ideas back to Hakkasan for this special Golden Week menu”.
