SHORT DESCRIPTION

In the Eighteen Restaurant located in the bustling city's commercial district, the designer uses the theme of seasonal ingredients to present a unique food experience that showcases the cuisine of Chaoshan, with its rotating cycle of four seasons. The signature dish, Eighteen Dish Casserole with Golden Hook Fish, is aptly named due to its intricate and complex preparation process. From the procurement of ingredients, hair-raising, making the broth, seasoning, to its presentation on the dining table, it undergoes a perfect 18-step process. The name "18 Courses Restaurant" comes from this 18-step cooking process. The design concept of "Four Waters Returning to the Hall" is implemented throughout the lobby design elements. The four columns surround the water feature in the center, which sinks in the middle. The designer deliberately portrays the water converging in the hall, which is the ultimate harmony and tranquility. The enclosing square columns use two kinds of wood textures to create a deep and shallow outline, making the design more tensioned. Visually, it conveys the concept of "Four Waters Returning to the Hall", which symbolizes the cycle of the four seasons and all things returning to tranquility. 18 Courses Restaurant is a food tour that specializes in presenting the seasonal cycle of Chaoshan ingredients. It introduces diners to the natural environment and experiences the beauty of harvest and hope. It offers more than just delicious food, a unique dining experience that allows them to take a break from their busy lives and enjoy the food and quiet time.
