Ringing in the Year ofthe MonkeyHakkasan in Doha joins its otherbranches globally in ushering in theChinese New Year with a month-longpromotion that features inspired andmodernized gems of Cantonese cuisine.

The limited edition menu means to showcase dishes that willbring luck, joy and prosperity in 2016, and just to stack the

odds, Hakkasan also gives all guests who dine from the

Chinese New Year menu a specially designed Year of the

Monkey coin as a gift of good fortune. The special four course

menu kicks off with a welcome drink. The 9 Hu cocktail

comprises nine components representing the monkeys ninth

position on the zodiac, decorated with a golden monkey

cocktail stirrer. Fruity and smooth, the drink stands in good

stead as you work your way down the menu. While the

understated soup is as good a palate cleanser as any, the burst

of flavors starts building from the appetizers, increasing inmagnitude till it explodes with a decadent Golden Halo desert,

a banana and peanut cake and a five spice infused cream,

caramel, chocolate and peanuts topped with gold leaf. A

Crunchy pine nut golden cup filled with diced Wagyu beef and

a dim sum platter with an interesting mix of duck, prawns and

scallops are a promising start to what turns out to be an

intensely moving experience. Of the five dishes on the main

course, each more spectacular to look at than the last, its the

grilled Chilean seabass and wok-fried lobster that are

guaranteed to knock your socks off. Hakkasans Chinese New

Year celebrations will run from January 22 until February 22and the special menu is priced at QR495. AYSWARYA MURTHY

Hooves of SteelPanerai releases Luminor 1950Sealand, a special edition timepiece

sold exclusively at boutiques inDohas Villaggio Mall inpartnership with Ali Bin Ali.

The new Luminor 1950 Sealand is personalized

with a hand-engraved cover for the dial, featuring

white Arabian horses galloping in the desert, with

palm trees and the sea in the background- an

iconic image which highlights the essence of the

Arabian horse in its original environment. This

special edition watch, of which only 60 units havebeen made, has a case in brushed steel with the

iconic device protecting the crown. The watch has a

classic Panerai gray dial and a gold calf strap. The

movement is the automatic mechanical P.9000 caliber,

entirely designed and created by the Panerai

manufacture in Neuchtel. AYSWARYA MURTHY

Quenching Thirst,the Milan WayFor the Milan-centric tradition of

aperitivo, heres a fancy approach forthose on the watertight schedules of the

upcoming Milan Fashion Week. Right in

the heart of the action, a trinity of hotel

bar establishments makes for a quick

respite in between the shows and

after-parties. The months-old bar at the

Mandarin Oriental is for editors on-the-go

with its upbeat and modern vibe. Grab its signature alcohol-free The Kir, a concoction of

rose and red fruits tea for a quick pick-up before heading out onto the vibrant Via

Alessandro Manzoni or the Seta, the hotels newly Michelin-starred restaurant. At the

brand new Terazza Gallia at the Excelsior Gallia Hotel, schedule private meetings with amajestic view of the historic central station and dive into the Fashion Green mocktail of

green apple, lettuce, cucumber, lemon and fennel seeds for a vitamin boost. To end off a

long day, unwind at the discreetly stylish bar at the Bulgari where the kitchen sends out

delicious morsels of the weeks specials, accompanied with your evening drink. DEBRINA ALIYAH
