- Peter Chang added a new meal Disappointing taste of HAKU at HAKU
This was an invitational tasting for media people. While the dishes showcased were somewhat tasty, it was nevertheless a disappointing experience as one wonders whether the chef presented dishes with premium ingredients simply to "wow" people - without delivering real flavors.

Lunch at the invitation of the hotel. We were treated to a sampling of the amazing dim sum items from the kitchen, made into animal shapes.
We were also shown the skills of the two chefs who are able to make 'wensi tofu', where 105 cuts are made into a bloc of silken tofu to create a chrysanthemum flower.
