Xiamen, China, 1 November, 2024 - - With the lighting of the pumpkin lamps, Cafe Marco at Marco Polo Xiamen kicked off a night of Halloween culinary revelry. To ensure that each and every guest could fully relish this special evening, the staff members wholeheartedly transformed themselves into lively NPCs. They gracefully donned resplendent capes and intricately designed masks, and then joined the children in the fun activity of DIY candy bags. The entire scene was instantly immersed in a vibrant and jubilant atmosphere, where laughter and excitement filled the air.
With the painstakingly arranged Halloween-themed displays, the entire venue has been enveloped in a festive mood. The spooky dessert stations, along with freshly steamed seafood and freshly sliced sashimi. Each dish hiding the sweetness and spookiness of Halloween. Meanwhile, Thai seafood hot and sour soup, Malay laksa and curry noodles, Singapore barbecue and Hainan chicken rice and other exotic food made their stunning appearances. The fresh, rich and authentic Southeast Asian flavours are setting out a new journey of taste bud exploration, allowing diners to fully experience a different culinary world.
