Eat superb steamed dumplings or exquisite French pastries? That is the decision you must make when you visit Yauatcha, Alan Yau’s amazing dim sum tea room in London.
Many may know Alan as the genius who created the Wagamama noodle bar (which he sold ages ago), or Hakkasan, the sexiest Chinese restaurant ever, and Besaba Eathai, his wonderful Thai restaurants. I’ve heard that Alan is taking a little break from the crazy world of running and creating new restaurants, I hear Yauatcha is still excellent.
What dish could be more appealing as the weather gets cooler than a plateful of crusty pot stickers??? See my easy recipe.
Enjoy!!

Among chefs, the name Alan Yau is synonymous with chic design and superb Asian food. His legendary restaurants, Hakkasan and Yauatcha, have both earned top honors and Michelin stars. He has extended his Hakkasan empire all over the world. (Look for the Hakkasan opening at the newly restored Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami in April.) On a trip to London, I was lucky enough to grab him for a very rare on-air interview.
Visit his restaurants if you are in London. They aren’t cheap, but worth it.
Enjoy!
