Ringing in the Year ofthe MonkeyHakkasan in Doha joins its otherbranches globally in ushering in theChinese New Year with a month-longpromotion that features inspired andmodernized gems of Cantonese cuisine.
The limited edition menu means to showcase dishes that willbring luck, joy and prosperity in 2016, and just to stack the
odds, Hakkasan also gives all guests who dine from the
Chinese New Year menu a specially designed Year of the
Monkey coin as a gift of good fortune. The special four course
menu kicks off with a welcome drink. The 9 Hu cocktail
comprises nine components representing the monkeys ninth
position on the zodiac, decorated with a golden monkey
cocktail stirrer. Fruity and smooth, the drink stands in good
stead as you work your way down the menu. While the
understated soup is as good a palate cleanser as any, the burst
of flavors starts building from the appetizers, increasing inmagnitude till it explodes with a decadent Golden Halo desert,
a banana and peanut cake and a five spice infused cream,
caramel, chocolate and peanuts topped with gold leaf. A
Crunchy pine nut golden cup filled with diced Wagyu beef and
a dim sum platter with an interesting mix of duck, prawns and
scallops are a promising start to what turns out to be an
intensely moving experience. Of the five dishes on the main
course, each more spectacular to look at than the last, its the
grilled Chilean seabass and wok-fried lobster that are
guaranteed to knock your socks off. Hakkasans Chinese New
Year celebrations will run from January 22 until February 22and the special menu is priced at QR495. AYSWARYA MURTHY

Quenching Thirst,the Milan WayFor the Milan-centric tradition of
aperitivo, heres a fancy approach forthose on the watertight schedules of the
upcoming Milan Fashion Week. Right in
the heart of the action, a trinity of hotel
bar establishments makes for a quick
respite in between the shows and
after-parties. The months-old bar at the
Mandarin Oriental is for editors on-the-go
with its upbeat and modern vibe. Grab its signature alcohol-free The Kir, a concoction of
rose and red fruits tea for a quick pick-up before heading out onto the vibrant Via
Alessandro Manzoni or the Seta, the hotels newly Michelin-starred restaurant. At the
brand new Terazza Gallia at the Excelsior Gallia Hotel, schedule private meetings with amajestic view of the historic central station and dive into the Fashion Green mocktail of
green apple, lettuce, cucumber, lemon and fennel seeds for a vitamin boost. To end off a
long day, unwind at the discreetly stylish bar at the Bulgari where the kitchen sends out
delicious morsels of the weeks specials, accompanied with your evening drink. DEBRINA ALIYAH
