There’s a lot happening at Huami this summer, and between the return of its beautiful Perrier-Jouët Garden, an exciting new menu and an exclusive giveaway that could see you and your friends enjoying a Champagne-filled yum cha experience on the house, the acclaimed Chinese restaurant is giving Aucklanders several excellent reasons to pay a visit. Enter the giveaway here.
First, the return of the Perrier-Jouët Garden, which is once again opening its doors for the warmer months. Tucked away amongst lush greenery and beautiful florals, the garden offers a rather special setting for a long afternoon of Champagne and exceptional Chinese cuisine. On Saturdays and Sundays, guests can settle in for Huami’s signature Garden Yum Cha experience, featuring a selection of handcrafted delicacies alongside a glass of Perrier-Jouët Champagne on arrival. Priced at $88 per person, it’s an occasion best enjoyed with good company and nowhere particularly urgent to be. And for those who prefer an evening affair, the garden also welcomes guests for à la carte dining daily from 5pm.
Of course, there’s plenty happening in the kitchen, too. Huami has introduced a series of enticing new dishes to its menu, from whole steamed snapper finished with ginger, spring onion and coriander oil to deep-sea scampi, wok-fried lamb, silken tofu and Sichuan eggplant. The restaurant’s much-loved signatures remain, including its famously crispy Tabasco prawns and fruitwood-roasted Peking duck, prepared in Huami’s dedicated duck oven, the only one of its kind in New Zealand.
There’s also an impressive selection of handcrafted dim sum and dumplings, made fresh in-house daily, including a particularly tempting crispy pāua wonton, while a new cocktail collection offers further encouragement to linger a little longer.
And because we believe excellent food and Champagne are even better when they’re on the house, we’ve teamed up with Huami to give one lucky Denizen reader the chance to experience the Garden Yum Cha for themselves. Consider it our invitation to gather your favourite people and make an afternoon of it.
When: Saturdays & Sundays in November, 11.30am–2.30pm — $88 per person —book now.
