"Dalian diners have a profound connection to seafood, and through the Hidden menu, we aim to create memorable dining experiences that blend authenticity with a modern sensibility," says Chef Hu. "Our menu this season highlights the diversity of Chinese cooking while infusing it with our own vision of contemporary flavour - a true culinary journey."
