When we speak of authentic we mean that the Chefs at LiLi are in fact from Hong Kong where they have been trained by the Peninsula to provide the dishes that signify what the restaurant is all about. The menu served was fresh, savoury and delightful starting off with the delectable elevated pieces of dim-sum. The fish was certainly a favourite cooked in the typical Canto style - steamed and laying in a sufficient amount of soya sauce but cooked expertly so much so that you know you're eating a highly skilled prepped dish that any local would normally have as a home-cooked staple. The twist came in the form of the Kimchi fried rice - uncommon to a Canto's appetite but common enough in that it was stir fried to perfection. Without being too spicy, this kept the menu for an interesting turn of events.

There of course are some non-traditional dishes like the kimchi fried rice and the highly anticipated roasted Peking duck – a classic that one must order. Pair your dinner with a selection of their finest Chinese teas but most of all enjoy the dinner and admire the strong oriental interior design elements with red being the dominant colour throughout the restaurant. LiLi is also an ideal place to host a special occasion as the aesthetics are beautiful to say the least and the grandeur breath-taking.

Our Lifestyle Expert reviews The Laundry's Brunch Menu
"We’re sitting at a sunlit table at The Laundry, named so because it’s housed in an Edwardian building that used to be, you guessed it, a laundry. Though trends may change, the exposed brick walls, distressed plaster, and muted colour scheme that the restaurant plays with are all still easy on the eye—a perfect combination of old meets new."
