Our very special ‘Double Fifth’ menu marking the Dragon Boat Festival is available from today until Monday 2nd June, and the final stop on our culinary tour of China is Suzhou, in the east of the country about 6o miles from Shanghai.
Suzhou is best known for its exquisite gardens and the canal network, now sadly mostly lost to development, for which the city was once known as ‘the Venice of the Orient’. The gardens however remain, and their delicate appearance is reflected in the subtlety of the region’s cuisine.

Few dishes could better represent the famously fiery cuisine of Sichuan, one of the five regions to feature on our ‘Double Fifth’ menu earlier this year, than our Ma la chilli prawns. ‘Ma la’ comes from two Chinese characters meaning, respectively, ‘numbing’ 麻 and ‘spicy (hot)’ 辣 and describes the sensation in the mouth the dish creates.

Continuing from last week’s introduction to our special ‘Double Fifth’ menu marking the tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival, our culinary voyage this week takes us to Guangdong, the populous south-east coastal province.
Monday 2nd June marks a very special date in the Chinese lunar calendar. As the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it is the day of the traditional Dragon Boat Festival, an ancient tradition dating back to the death of China’s revered patriot poet Qu Yuan on that day in 278BC.
With such a wide array of tempting dishes on our menu, it can be difficult to choose what to enjoy at Hutong. To order the spicier, fiery dishes of Sichuan such as our Red Lantern soft-shell crab with dried chilli, or the more aromatic, tangy dishes of Shandong, like Boneless Dover sole in coriander-vinegar sauce?
Allow us to suggest the perfect solution – our Signature Menu, which for £68 per person presents eight of our most popular dishes, representing the many exciting facets of our cuisine, together with a selection of desserts.
