We never say no to Chinese food, ever. So the fact that we're in the midst of the ongoing Chinese New Year celebrations, is just another excuse for us to indulge in our favourite cuisine.


Spicy Prawns Curry with almonds and waterchestnuts is a beautifully-cooked dish 

We head to Hakkasan to sample their special four-course oriental menu, as part of the celebrations. According to the Chinese Zodiac, it's the year of the sheep. We have no clue if sheep are great foodies, but we've built up quite an appetite before coming here. Once we're settled at a cosy corner table and taken in the dim, mood lighting and soft music, we don't have to wait too long for the first of our appetisers to arrive. Maybe, the server knows we had skipped lunch in anticipation.
