The Origin of Dim Sum
A centuries-old afternoon tradition with roots in southern China, dim sum, which translates to โtouch the heartโ in Chinese, was originally crafted as delicate snacks to be served alongside tea during travels. Today, dim sum is enjoyed across China, with each region boasting its own distinct array of unique dishes.

The Significance of 8
Available from the 8th of October, the innovative Bei Fang Dim Sum Series introduces eight northern-style dim sum dishes, which have been created by the global team of chefs across all Hutong restaurants. The number eight was not chosen randomly; it is considered a lucky number in Chinese tradition, provoking feelings of prosperity with the similarity of the Chinese pronunciation of the two words โbaโ (8) and โfaโ (prosperity).
Menu highlights include our Shredded Duck & Foie Gras Spring Roll with a filling made with tender roasted duck meat, shredded onions, and our secret house seasoning. Deep-fried until golden and crispy, the spring roll is served with Hutongโs exclusive homemade duck sauce and delivers all the complex flavors of our signature Peking duck in a delicious bite-size form.
Another innovative dish includes our Wagyu Beef & Black Truffle Siu Mai, a twist on thetraditional Chinese dumpling inspired by the widely known dish of stir-fried beef with scallions. Our siu mai uses tender wagyu beef and spring onions as the main base for its filling with the addition of black truffles, creating a unique aroma. The finishing touch of green onions sautรฉed in Hutongโs homemade green Sichuan peppercorn oil and chilli oil add a depth and richness.
