Inside the Taste Of China immersive dining experience

1/6

7-course regional tasting menu

The experience is structured around seven courses, each inspired by a different region of China such as Sichuan, Cantonese, or Jiangnan cuisine. Expect a mix of textures and techniques, from delicate starters to rich mains and refined desserts, all presented with modern plating.

Tea-led dining experience

Instead of wine, the menu is paired with a progression of Chinese teas, ranging from light floral infusions to deeper roasted varieties, selected to complement each course and cleanse the palate between dishes.

270° immersive dining theatre

The dining hall is built like a theatre, with wraparound projection walls and a central performance space. Visuals shift throughout the meal, from ancient towns and riverscapes to seasonal scenes, synchronised with sound, lighting, and course transitions.

Course-synced performances

Each dish is introduced alongside a short live act or visual sequence, often inspired by folklore, festivals, or regional traditions. Performances are integrated into the pacing of the meal rather than running separately.

Interactive table elements

Tables are embedded with projection mapping, creating effects like moving water, blooming flowers, or animated motifs that change with each course, adding a tactile, visual layer to the dining setup.

Tiered seating layout

The venue is arranged in a tiered format around the central stage. VIP seats are closest to the action, section A offers mid-range proximity with balanced views, and section B is slightly elevated, giving a wider perspective of both performances and projections.
