Crowne Plaza London - The City, a flagship property of renowned
Intercontinental Hotels Group, has announced the launch of a third in-house
restaurant. Officially launched on 17 November, Chinese Cricket Club
is a destination Chinese restaurant that will complement the deluxe
hotel's existing hospitality offering.
Taking on the role of Head Chef will be Brendan Speed, who launched
and subsequently ran Zuma Istanbul, helping to turn it into one of
the city's leading restaurants.
Brendan's remarkable career has taken him all over the world, from
Tanzania to Queensland. This global experience, combined with a life-long
passion for Asian cuisine and a desire to experiment with different
textures, flavours and ingredients, will all be brought to bear on
the menu at the Chinese Cricket Club.
Against a sophisticated yet relaxed backdrop decorated with a warm
simplicity, the restaurant will offer a mouth-watering range of
Sichuan specialties with a modern twist. Set to become signature
dishes at the Chinese Cricket Club are such imaginative fare as
Crispy Orange Beef; Fried Perch with Garlic Chives; Orange Rib of
Beef and Silken Tofu with Broad Bean Paste.
These offerings are balanced by a comprehensive array of traditional
Chinese favourites, Cornfed Chicken and Corn Soup; Twice Cooked Pork
and Crispy Chilli Beef among them. The menu also features an
excellent choice of delicious dim sum, including Black Cod Gow Gee,
Club Lobster Dumpling and Honey Glazed Pork Puff. Perfect for
sharing, these smaller portions are also an ideal option for those
seeking more speedy lunchtime sustenance.
The restaurant is named in honour of the newly formed Chinese
National Cricket team, who this year played their first international
match. The title also commemorates the recent translation of the Laws
of Cricket into Mandarin by the Asian Cricket Council.
The Crowne Plaza London - The City already boasts the award-winning
Refettorio restaurant, directed by Michelin starred Chef Giorgio
Locatelli. With the arrival of Chinese Cricket Club, it will further
consolidate its position as a destination dining venue in the City.
