'Winter in Asia' at The Emerson

The Emerson has collaborated with nearby eatery Susie Wong to offer 'Winter in Asia', a six week-long series featuring a south-east Asian and Japanese inspired menu to The Emerson Rooftop.

The space has been morphed into an Eastern wonderland, strung with festive lanterns, blossom, floral arrangements and silk draping.

We loved visiting for pre-dinner cocktails and snacks. Our favourites included luscious pulled pork bao (with the most heavenly of cracklings) and seared wagyu beef. Of particular note was the Warm Asian Salad of delectably earthy mushrooms, edamame, refreshingly tart pickled kohlrabi and bitter melon all tied together with an umami laden black vinegar dressing. 

Throughout 'Winter in Asia' guests can also enjoy Japanese whiskies, Sake and cocktails featuring Asian flavours.

The Emerson Rooftop is fully enclosed and generously heated meaning you can still be warm whilst enjoying the rooftop views. 

The Emerson is proudly supporting Jimmy Bartels appeal 'Face up to DV' throughout 'Winter in Asia' and is helping to dump domestic violence via dump-lings!
