duck salad, anointed with pomelo, shallots and pine nuts. For the main courses, General Tsao chicken cooks up crispy chicken breast with chili and sesame, and jasmine-smoked prime short rib comes with a pickled lotus root on the side (an acquired taste, so be careful with
this one). And on the side, Hong Kong fried rice incorporates shrimp and pork along with asparagus, yellow chives and a wok-fried egg. For the vegans in the group, Hakkasan has a good range of items, each denoted on the menu, including a vegan hot and sour soup. Yum! –Nina King
