Sunday Supper Club – Lillian Luk at Kanishka Restaurant Mayfair
Lillian Luk gave diners a masterclass in sensational Shanghainese cooking on Sunday 25th February, joining Atul Kochhar in the kitchen at Kanishka for his Sunday Supperclub series.
A perfect way to celebrate the Lunar New Year, Lillian Luk’s four-course menu showcased a great selection of lesser0known foods from Shanghai and favourites from her successful Shanghai Supper Club, all executed with a tasteful Indo-Chinese twist.
Dinner began with a selection of Shanghainese cold starters, including Kaofu wheat gluten with dried mushrooms and peanuts, and drunken chicken. Shanghai snacks such as crispy spring rolls and steamed glutinous rice shao mai followed, before the main course of Dong Po style braised pork belly and slow-cooked pork knuckles. To finish, guests were treated to a choice of two exciting desserts, seaweed dusted rice cake or fermented rice wine lees with glutinous rice balls.
