This
autumn, Hakkasan Las Vegas Restaurant at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino will
celebrate the annual Chinese holiday Golden Week Monday, Sept. 29 through Sunday, Oct. 12. To mark Golden
Week, the restaurant will feature a limited edition chef’s menu. In addition,
guests who dine on the specialty menu will receive an exclusive takeaway gift
in celebration of the holiday.
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.
Consequently it is a popular period of time when the Chinese travel
significantly around the world to experience luxury offerings. Traditionally
Golden Week takes place October 1 through 7; however, Hakkasan will be offering
the dedicated menus for a longer period of time to accommodate all travelers.
International
Development Chef Ho Chee Boon has created a special menu to cater specifically
to traditional Chinese tastes. For parties of two or more, the set chef’s menu
is $138 per person and includes Peking duck with Tsar Nicoulai Reserve caviar;
dim sum platter; braised whole seabass in claypot; spicy Szechuan rib-eye beef
with enoki mushroom; roasted crispy chicken with wild mushroom in oyster sauce;
crispy prawn with dried chili and cashew nut; fried rice with diced abalone,
and to finish, black sesame and chocolate dumplings with ginger and yuzu tea. A
box containing hand-made golden macarons are given at the end of the meal for
each guest to take home as a gift.
To
ensure the experience in the restaurant is enjoyable, Hakkasan has
Cantonese-speaking staff on-site and in reservations, and accepts China Union
Pay, the Chinese credit card of choice. Menus and websites will be Cantonese
translated and staff will be fully trained in Chinese etiquette.
In
addition to Hakkasan Las Vegas Restaurant, several Hakkasan restaurants around
the world including London, Shanghai, Beverly Hills, Miami, New York and San
Francisco will also be celebrating Golden Week with exclusive menus in order to
provide the experience to Chinese nationals who are traveling elsewhere. Each
participating restaurant’s menu will vary and offer a slightly different twist
tailored to each location.
