Our menu at @restaurant_linglong continued with:

- a showcase of local terroir using Wagyu grown in China and homemade oyster sauce. The oyster sauce was particularly impressive as it was made in the most traditional way with an abundance of oysters.

- ending the savory part of the meal was the Wuchang Rice simmered and mixed table side in a clay pot. A tribute to Eight Treasures Rice, the peppery sauce reminded me more of the flavors of stir-fried shredded eel (鱔糊) instead.

Before desserts, we were presented with a fruit platter to choose the flavor of our palate cleanser and ended up with all 4! The tomato with olive oil was my favorite.

- the main dessert featured Chinese Honey through two different kinds of honey: sour honey and dark honey from black bees. Accompanying the beautiful dessert was a beehive made from real bee wax with the sound of buzzing bees.

回憶 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆
- a whimsical ending where we were presented with a miniature candy shop for our petit fours. Upon inserting a coin, the box started playing music while emitting the smell of a typical candy shop, invoking the nostalgia of our collective childhood.

Complementing the food was a fantastic selection of teas, beer, and wines from China and beyond. Some favorites included the cold brew tea which became sweet after being whisked and the mead (honey wine) which was an excellent pairing with the honey dessert.
