Menu
There is a Chinese saying: "If the mountain won't come to you, you must go to the mountain." We love to travel around the world, but we also hope that the world can come to our home on ordinary weekends, allowing us to connect with friends from all over the world. After the meal, I’d love to offer a mini Chinese calligraphy experience – guests can try writing a lucky character like ‘福’ (blessing) with a real brush and ink.
