Piao-Xiang

With ‘Old Sichuan’ as its guiding principle, the restaurant reinterprets and refines the flavours of Sichuan’s past. Each course draws inspiration from Chinese history and its notable figures. Dish names are written in two kanji characters, inviting guests to imagine their flavours. ‘Furong’ takes its cue from the hibiscus, the official flower of Chengdu, while ‘Guifei’ incorporates the wine favoured by the famed Tang-era beauty Yang Guifei. The chef’s passion is thoughtfully conveyed through the manager’s explanations.
