Eating Peking duck in a 1920s Shanghai bunker in the heart of London must be an experience that will make anyone jealous! Opened in last month, MiMi Mei Fair is not only talked about with its colorful menu but also its inviting decoration. The three-story building houses seven separate rooms. Each room is decorated in different style: one gives the Art Deco style, whilst other stands out with blue leather details. The “Peacock Room”, the private dining room for eight people, resembles a work of art with hand-painted wallpapers with peacock and flower patterns. On the other hand, the menu is a combination of delightful tastes from Hong Kong, Singapore and central China. You can add this restaurant to your list for a glorious fine dining experience.
