One table has to please both young and old — the hardest part is the balance. A menu logic that serves soft, light and hearty dishes together lets the whole family eat happily.
Three Menu Principles
- Soft & tender: easy for elders to chew (steamed egg, braised dishes, tofu).
- Light: less spice and oil, soothing soups.
- Appetizing: kids and teens need flavor (braised, BBQ).
The Easiest Way to Do It
Option A: courtyard BBQ where everyone cooks their own; Option B: have the butler order a customized Chinese banquet and note any dietary needs. The villa kitchen can also cook noodles or congee in a pinch. More facilities under Rooms.
Common Taboos
Collect ahead: allergies (seafood/nuts), chronic-condition restrictions (sugar/salt), religion and vegetarian. Label dishes separately within the table to avoid mix-ups.
Little Touches for Atmosphere
The warmth of a table is someone remembering you don't eat scallions.
Provide shared chopsticks and spoons, a seat of honor for elders, high chairs for kids; a post-meal courtyard stroll aids digestion. Nearby farmhouses under Surroundings.
