Hilton’s Emperor’s Wok is back

Hilton Colombo has re-opened its signature Chinese restaurant, Emperor’s Wok offering diners a gourmet journey of authentic Cantonese and Szechuan flavours.

The new Emperor’s Wok restaurant offers innovative interpretations of classic Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine with a contemporary twist, aromatic flavours and tastes that vary from mild to spicy prepared by an experienced team of chefs.

“We are excited about the re-opening of our signature Chinese restaurant after a lapse of seven years.  It was a much sought after dining venue at the time.  We look forward to continue delivering an exceptional experience to our guests,” said Manesh Fernando, General Manager Hilton Colombo & Area General Manger Hilton Sri Lanka.

The vibrant setting of the restaurant, inspired by the ancient Han civilization, features seating for 98 guests, an open Wok show-kitchen concept, noodle station and an interactive bar.  In addition, Emperor’s Wok offers 4 intimate private dining rooms for business or social gatherings.  The elegant interior and warm atmosphere has natural lights and a variety of Chinese pottery and antique ceramics along with contemporary artwork and Chinese calligraphy on the walls complementing the noodle station and tea bar and providing the ambience of a night-time Asian street market.

The inspiration in the creation of the uniform derives from the Chinese Peony Flower pattern combined with local batik. ThePeony symbolizing wealth, happiness and prosperity, is deeply loved by the Chinese people and found in abundance in the Emperor’s garden.  Together with the Chinese Daffodil, which symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings, the two motifs were created using local batik.

The carefully curated menu comprises a selection of appetizers, soups, dim sums, BBQ combinations and platters along with seafood offering a variety of choices of cooking styles, Cantonese and Szechuan delicacies amidst poultry and meats, rice, noodles and desserts. The signature Peking-Duck is served with pancake, duck sauce, cucumber and leek. Hot & Sour crab soup, Siew Mai with scallop dim sum, Cantonese BBQ platter, black pepper lobster and the chilled avocado cream with milk pudding and vanilla ice cream are not to be missed.

Open daily for lunch and dinner, Emperor’s Wok also has a “Kung-Fu” Tea Master who welcomes diners with his special skills, pouring out a welcome drink to all his guests made with a combination of 8 exotic teas believed to enhance one’s complexion and rejuvenate the “chi” (energy). A selection of healthy teas is available to be enjoyed with the meal and the interactive bar showcases talented mixologists concocting innovative cocktails and mocktails for the discerning diners.
