Top 5 Chinese Restaurants In London
Dragon Boat Festival – one of the three most important Chinese Holidays, together with Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival – falls on the 2 June (the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar).
Also known as the Double Fifth or Duanwu festival, the event commemorates the death of Chinese poet, Qu Yuan, who lept into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C with a stone attached to his ankle.
Local people admired the poet so deeply that they took to the water to save him, in their boats. Unable to located Qu Yuan’s body, the Chinese dropped balls of sticky rice into the water so that the fish could eat the rice rather than the poet’s body.
Today Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by tucking into zongzi (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves) and racing dragon boats.
Wondering where to celebrate Dragon Boat Festival in the capital? Panic not. Haute Time has done the hard work for you. Here’s the low-down on five of the best Chinese restaurants in town…

Top 5 Vegetarian Restaurants In London
For a long time the vegetarian-dining scene in London was lacking a little zip. A frustrating number of the capital’s top restaurants either ignored vegetarians or else treated them with indifference – perhaps offering them a plate of pasta arrabiatta. The result? While carnivores cooed over their expertly prepared and beautifully presented entrees, their veggie counterparts were forced to get stuck into the bread bowl so as to stave off hunger pangs.
Fast forward to 2014 and fortunately – for the capital’s veggie contingent – it’s all change. London has followed in the footsteps of other cosmopolitan cities of cool such as Sydney, New York and LA and exploded with designated, upscale veggie eateries and raw food restaurants. All of whom serve up some of the most delicious dishes (sans meat) imaginable, helping to dispel the stereotype that veggie dining is Spartan and dull.
Here are five fabulous vegetarian restaurants in the capital that even the staunchest of carnivores will approve of…

Artist Ben Moon Used a 1985 Rolls Royce as Canvas and Inspiration
A Rolls Royce is almost like a work of art in and of itself. They are one of the few vehicles, from the leather seating to the rims, that are completely hand-crafted by professionals. Nothing assembled on a factory line, nothing cheap. They essentially define luxurious elegance, which is all the more reason that Long Island-based multimedia artist Ben Moon felt liberated when he was able to use a Rolls as his canvas with his piece Our Painted Lady.

The Best Ice Cream In London
The capital is set to experience high temperatures of 30 degrees this week with Thursday tipped to win the coveted ‘hottest day of the year’ title.
Looking to beat the heat? Nothing beats a cold ice cream, on a sticky summer’s day.
Absolutely everybody loves ice cream (as Walter Williams once sung: ‘I scream you scream, we all scream for ice cream), the origins of which date back to biblical times. Indeed legend has it that the Roman emperor Nero (A.D. 37-68) ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings. However it wasn’t until the second half of the 21st century – when refrigeration became commonplace – that the ice cream business really began to heat up. In America, there’s even a whole month dedicated to the creamy concoction: sweet toothed President, Ronald Reagan, declared July to be ‘National Ice Cream month’ back in 1984, while also establishing the third Sunday of the month as ‘Ice Cream day’.
The popular dessert can be calorific, make no mistake, but being made from milk it’s also a good source of calcium: something we all need to help to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Vanilla remains the most popular flavour, closely followed by chocolate but there’s also a whole host of more unusual offerings out there from smoked bacon and egg (Heston Blumenthal famous creation) to baked beans on toast – available at Moreli’s Harrods outlet in London.
Chances are that by now you’ll no doubt be craving the cold stuff and fortunately for you, dear reader, Haute Time has made it our mission to find the best ice cream in the capital. A copious amount of cups and cornets later, we can reveal the top ice cream scoops and shops in London town. Read on for the full low-down.
