This summer, InterContinental Taichung joins forces with the prestigious Anglo-French spirits house Royal Salute to launch a new culinary program, “Elevate Your Table with New Luxury,” bringing together three distinctive restaurants — Ming Juan Lou, Cai Yue Hot Pot, and IL LIMONE — for a limited-time Royal Salute Summer Wine & Dine experience.
From Cantonese cuisine and hot pot to Italian fare, each restaurant brings its own culinary language to the table, paired with Royal Salute 21 Year Old Signature Blend. Through tableside pouring rituals, curated food pairings, and the art of tasting, this collaboration reimagines the philosophy of modern luxury dining — inviting you into a midsummer celebration where cuisine, whisky, and refined living come together.
Ming Juan Lou | Golden Summer Feast — Cantonese Flavors at Their Peak
Guided by the philosophy of eating in harmony with the seasons, our chefs have selected the finest seafood, fruit, and seasonal ingredients of midsummer, paired with contemporary Cantonese craftsmanship to create an exclusive summer set menu.
The journey begins with a vibrant summer hors d’oeuvre platter featuring jute leaf and golden hydrangea dumplings, mango-scented scallops with fresh bamboo shoots, and Hua Diao wine-chilled duck tongue. The menu continues with double-boiled winter melon soup with conpoy, signature braised lobster, steamed grouper with French Bayonne ham, sea cucumber with abalone in jade sauce, and pan-seared A5 Shinshu wagyu cubes with truffle salt — concluding with abalone fried rice with egg white and a golden mango and pineapple nectar, presenting a refined and richly layered Cantonese dining experience.

Cai Yue Hot Pot｜Summer Coconut Broth Seasonal Hot Pot Journey
Inspired by the tradition of Cantonese slow-simmered soups, our chefs slow-cook coconut palm, coconut flesh, red dates, goji berries, and chicken thigh for hours, yielding a golden, clear, and naturally sweet coconut chicken broth.
The set for two features premium seafood including lobster, live South African abalone, Hiroshima oysters, and fresh fish, paired with daily handmade seaweed shrimp paste, wild mushrooms, and seasonal vegetables.
