Beijing, China

The one Michelin star Chinese restaurant Cai Yi Xuan, in collaboration with the legendary Danish porcelain brand Royal Copenhagen, presents an exclusive Royal Copenhagen menu in the restaurant’s private dining room at Four Seasons Hotel Beijing. Featuring their iconic Blue Fluted Plain series, this partnership showcases classic Cantonese dishes adorned with exquisite bone china, creating a unique and unparalleled dining experience.

The one Michelin star and Black Pearl One Diamond Cai Yi Xuan features a private dining room situated in a tranquil corner of the restaurant, offering a private luxury experience. Inspired by Royal Copenhagen's iconic hand-painted Blue Fluted pattern, the culinary team has crafted a new thematic menu using seasonal and local ingredients. Each dish is presented on the elegant Blue Fluted Plain series, which exudes a unique oriental charm. The tableware, including plates, bowls, and spoons, features a soft texture and intricate hand-painted designs, radiating the refined artistry of Denmark.

As the sunlight dances across the room, the graceful porcelain from Royal Copenhagen and the meticulously crafted dishes from Cai Yi Xuan create a symphony of luxurious flavours. Though Royal Copenhagen is a Danish brand, its classic cobalt blue and sophisticated hand-painted patterns harmonize beautifully with Chinese cuisine. Throughout the meal, the culinary team and guests share an intimate space, enjoying a vibrant and delightful dining experience.

Executive Chef Li Qiang of Cai Yi Xuan has masterfully crafted a culinary experience that transcends the ordinary, drawing inspiration from the timeless artistry of porcelain. This collaboration invites diners to rediscover the essence of ingredients and culinary craftsmanship. The menu showcases exquisite dishes such as Caviar Sea Urchin Crab Tart, Honey-Glazed Char Siu, Steamed Sunflower Chicken, and Mustard Lotus Root, each delicately prepared to capture the refreshing essence of Beijing's midsummer. A highlight is the Jasmine Clear Soup with Australian Abalone, where the intricate porcelain patterns gracefully mingle with floating jasmine blossoms, offering a soothing and nourishing experience. Additional signature dishes include the richly flavoured Shrimp Roe Baked Lobster, the harmonious Tomato Sour Soup with Yellow Croaker, and the Pan-Seared Wagyu with Matsutake Mushrooms, which celebrates the pure, authentic flavours of the ingredients. The main course, a fragrant pot rice with dried porcini and roasted goose, pays homage to the comforting traditions of Chinese cuisine, elegantly presented in classic porcelain. This exquisite collaboration between Cai Yi Xuan and Royal Copenhagen transcends time, creating a luxurious dining experience that beautifully harmonizes Chinese and Danish artistry.
