The customized menu fuses traditional Lingnan flavors with exotic culinary elements from along the historic trade routes, featuring delicacies such as Bak Kut Teh, Nanyang-style oysters, and Shenjing roast goose. While savoring the cuisine, guests are treated to elegant court music, Nyonya dances, Arabic choreography, and traditional Lingnan melodies, offering a magnificent dual feast for both the palate and the eyes.
