The ambiance of the restaurant blends modern design with traditional Chinese cultural elements, creating an atmosphere rich in Chinese charm. Traditional pierced carvings adorn the entrance, complemented by porcelain vases and the four treasures of the study scattered around. Modern minimalist metal chandeliers and gold-edged marble tabletops are also featured, along with Chinese tableware and avant-garde furniture, showcasing a harmonious fusion of styles.

# Special BBQ Pork Pastry 34 yuan # Traditional Guangdong delicacy, with a fragrant and crispy taste. Particularly notable is the freshness of their daily homemade pastries, warm and fragrant with every bite. Trust me, it’s not greasy when eaten hot, which is why it’s the top choice every day.
