Winterlicious is back for 2015! We're still unsure of where we'll be dining (need to make reservations ASAP) but after the menu tasting at King Street Social, a restaurant inside the Hyatt on King Street, we strongly encourage you guys to check them out for this year.
Just last night, we were invited to get a special preview of their Winterlicious as well as their Valentine's menu - of course we didn't hesitate to go!

This was my first time dining at the Hyatt on King Street's restaurant, the King Street Social. Chef Wesley Boodhram explained that his team came up with the Asian-themed menu this year as they're all fans of fusion dishes and street food. We definitely saw a lot of those elements in all the dishes in terms of flavours and ingredients.

The highlights of the evening for me were the King Street Beef Lo Mein and the Chicken Satay with mango salad. These dishes were not something out of ordinary - they're menu items that's been around but the flavours were not quite what I expected, so it was a pleasant surprise for my tastebuds!
Whether you visit the Hyatt on King for Winterlicious or for a romantic night with your significant other on Valentine's weekend, you'll be enticed with some Asian fushion menu by Chef Wesley and his team.
