Hot Pot Under De Tree – Chinese
Steaming cauldrons of aromatic broth take center stage at this inviting retreat, where the air is thick with the heady scent of star anise and numbing Sichuan peppercorns. Guests engage in a rhythmic, communal dance, swirling delicate ribbons of marbled meat and garden-fresh vegetables into bubbling pots that range from soothing herbal infusions to fiery, spice-laden elixirs. It is a sensory-rich sanctuary where the rising mist and the joy of shared discovery turn every meal into a vibrant, hands-on celebration of Chinese culinary tradition.
