Story

The character Ming on the stone wall

Three cuts: the name, the craft, the room.

The Ming Court sign — red geometric fretwork, 明宫餐厅 on travertine

Chapter The name

Ming — brightness

明宫餐厅 — “ming” means brightness. The geometric red fretwork at the entrance sets the name into travertine: a mark you can’t mistake.

The dim sum table — bamboo steamers, siu mai, red cloth

Chapter The craft

Proper Cantonese

Steamer dim sum, hearty savory dishes — a Cantonese kitchen on banquet rhythm: dim sum at lunch, round tables at dinner.

The private room — large round table, pink folded napkins, peony paintings

Chapter The room

The private room is the product

Nikko Saigon’s 3rd floor: a red-clothed banquet hall and discreet private rooms — peony paintings, windows over the city.
