New Service For All The Hungry People On Lantau – And The World

I must have mentioned once or twice that I cook Sichuan food which I serve on my, I have to say, beautiful roof terrace overlooking the South China Sea? It’s just that recently I’ve been so busy writing a Sichuan cookbook

that I, ironically, haven’t had time to cook. But now that book is being published, online to begin with, and I have time again. Also, when people discover how easy Sichuan cooking is, I suspect they won’t come to my restaurant anymore but will just cook for themselves.

But in the tiny window between handing in the manuscript and the book spreading across the world selling up to four copies a month, I had the idea of starting a Sichuan Dinner Club. The first meeting is Saturday August 29 at 7.30 pm.

Many have wanted to book a dinner to try the various dishes such as Beer O’Clock Dumplings, Kung Fu Cucumber and Chicken a la Water Buffalo, but they can never get eight (or more) people to be in the same place at the same time. And my minimum number of people is eight, otherwise the three days’ work just isn’t worth it.

But if it’s a dinner club, you can just turn up by yourself or with a spouse/friend, and meet new people! Beer is included of course, as is iced water, but other, weirder drinks you’ll have to bring yourself.

If it works well, I’ll arrange at least one dinner each month.

P.S. If there are ten or more people, I will cook chilli prawns!

辣椒 (lat chiu – chilli)
蝦 (ha – prawn)
