January has long been considered a month of change and a time to reflect on the goals for the year ahead. For many, this means embracing a concept called Veganuary, a month-long initiative that involves avoiding all meat and dairy products in favour of a plant-based diet. In celebration of Veganuary, and in line with the explosive uptake of the plant-based lifestyle, Hakkasan, Seafire Steakhouse, Ronda Locatelli, Bread Street Kitchen & Bar, WHITE Restaurant and Wavehouse are all curating special vegan menus for the month of January.
Veganuary at Hakkasan
A leader in modern contemporary luxury and a purveyor of good taste, Hakkasan is at the cutting-edge of culinary trends and craftsmanship, and the Cantonese restaurant’s vegan menu will further showcase the culinary team’s pioneering skills. Diners will start with the likes of a zesty quinoa salad, pillowy vegetarian steamed dim sum and mooli puff, before main dishes will send taste buds into overdrive including tofu, aubergine and shiitake hotpot in chilli black bean sauce, wild mushroom stir-fry with lily bulb and macadamia nut and a Shanghai pak choi. A decadent cocoa pudding with coconut rice and seasonal berries will round off the evening with a fresh, sweet note.
