PING PONG RESTAURANT – EAT AND DRINK LIKE AN EMPEROR

The excitement surrounding the arrival of China’s legendary Terracotta Army at the British Museum this autumn is contagious. Displaying a dozen soldiers from the First Emperor’s mausoleum for the first time in the UK, the exhibition is an unmissable opportunity to witness one of world’s most famous archaeological finds. To honour this momentous occasion, 21st century teahouse and dim sum emporium, Ping Pong, have created something else worth discovering – two new dim sum specials and a decadent cocktail to celebrate the event.

Inspired by the tantalising idea of undisturbed wealth in Emperor Qin Shihuangdi’s unopened tomb, The First Emperor’s Treasure is a new delicious dim sum of salmon and lime leaves topped with trout eggs. For those wanting more, the Qin Shihuangdi Dim Sum is a regal dish of scallop, prawn and pork with lumpfish eggs guaranteed to unify everyone in praise.

The Elixir of Life plays homage to the fabled potion that was desperately desired by Qin Shihuangdi. A heady concoction of muddled lime leaves with vodka, plum wine, lemon juice and a splash of apple, this must-try cocktail may not promise eternal life but is a delicious start to an afternoon’s exploring or an evening of conquests. A non-alcoholic mix of muddled lime leaves with lemon and apple juice is also available.

Only available for a limited time, hurry to Ping Ping to savour the First Emperor specials before they become legends themselves.
