THOUGHT FOR FOOD
The natural and organic gourmet restaurant, THOUGHT FOR FOOD, advocates a mindful diet, emphasizing the importance of rebuilding the relationship with food to nourish our body and soul.
Our chefs work closely with a nutritionist to carefully select seasonal ingredients and design professional nutritional formulas, with a focus on mindfulness and intentionality in cooking, plating and serving. Our aim is for guests to cultivate awareness, delight in the energy and pleasure that food brings, and forge deeper connections with both their nourishment and fellow diners.

Bridging the East and West
Through a series of thematic events held throughout the year, such as the OCTAVE Flower Festival, World Earth Day, and the traditional 24 Solar Terms, we strive to bridge the gap between East and West, harmoniously blend the past and present, and embark on a collective exploration of the profound meaning and value of culture and life. These immersive experiences enable us to revive traditional Chinese culture, showcase contemporary aesthetics, and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of both cultural traditions.
