Harmony, balance, and seasonality are the major characteristics of Chinese dietary philosophy, which emphasizes sourcing and incorporating fresh ingredients to capture the essence of seasonal flavors.
In Summer, the gourd becomes a prominent ingredient used to counteract the heat.  Imagine the delightful twist of seasonal gourds combined with diversified culinary techniques, the results can be both irresistible and impeccable. 
Embracing the blissful Summer vibes, The Chinese Library is presenting the “Jade Harvest”, a seasonal Dinner Tasting Menu that showcases the flavors of gourds.  This 10-course Summer menu captivates seven types of jade-green gourds, which are beautifully presented with flavors and textures that blend seamlessly together.

 The Five-spice Wagyu Rib was a tender dish that melted in the mouth, it was mixed with a perfect blend of 甜、酸、甘、鹹、辣, which added a depth of complexity that was well worth a try!
