Chinese food is misunderstood. Sure, much of what we think of when we think of the Far East cuisine has its origins in cities like Shanghai and Hong Kong—ingredient preferences, flavor palate, techniques—but it has grown into what it is today from its global conversation over the last 150 years. The people of China have spread across the world, and innovations and taste trends have traveled back and forth, enriching especially Cantonese cuisine into what it has become today, especially at the highest end.
Take Mott 32, an ideal example of that exchange. The Hong Kong-born award-winning restaurant concept, now open in Dubai, takes its name from the first Chinese convenience store in New York City, which opened way back in 1891 at 32 Mott Street in Manhattan, a symbol of the international spirit of the food itself.
At Mott 32 Dubai, located on the 73rd floor of the Address Beach Resort, JBR, it’s easy to think about the scope of that endless journey, especially as its truly stunning view constantly pulls your eyes away from the impeccably designed interior and out into a world of thought on the horizon. But your best thoughts will come with the dishes, as the first luxury Chinese restaurant to expand globally continually wows with innovative spins on classic dishes, particularly its Apple Wood Roasted Peking Duck, which takes 48 hours to prepare, and its jasmine flower smoked black cod, and its ever-expanding dim sum menu. Our mouth is watering just remembering them.
Chinese food in Dubai, at the highest end, is hard to come by. We’re surrounded by Asian concepts—mostly Japanese, with a smattering of others here and there—but people’s experiences the cuisine is usually relegated to takeout. Few have experienced the heights that the cuisine can take you.
So, do you want to experience that yourself, or introduce others to what makes great Chinese food? Mott 32 Dubai is by far your best option. Experience it for yourself.
