Dinner by the Kentish Harbour in the UK

Just 90 minutes from Central London you’ll find the Royal Harbour Hotel Ramsgate.

‘The hotel is a delightfully quirky 27-bedroom townhouse hotel that stands on a beautiful Georgian crescent with magnificent views of the harbour and sea’.

Travelling gourmand Sindy Chan recently dined in the hotel’s award-winning Empire Room restaurant and shares her foodie experience with Gourmet News…

The Empire Room menu offers extensive choices – smoke eel, king prawn, salmon, Chorizo Scotch egg, Dover sole, seabass, hake, lamb and beef. I chose Kentish roasted pork belly.

Though considered to be a relatively cheap cut, slowly-roasted rindless pork belly yields beautiful soft flesh with crisp crackling is irresistibly sumptuous.

British classic, Chinese delicacy

Chef Craig Mather prepared my pork belly as an English classic dish but I tasted it as an Oriental dish – sweet and sour apple puree reminded me of Chinese plum sauce, and char grilled spring onion is nostalgic Oriental ingredient.

The light sweet roasted Kentish Victoria plums with nougat ice cream, warm caramel sauce & toasted almonds, delivered a savoury experience of south England. Indulged in the aromatic cup of fine coffee at the hotel’s harbour view lounge before retiring for a mid-summer night dream.

Not to miss complimentary cheese board being offered to hotel staying guest at 10 pm every evening.
