The hotel's creative cuisine refers to the unique dishes developed by the hotel according to its own characteristics and style, combined with local traditional cuisine and modern cooking technology. These dishes not only focus on taste, ingredient selection and cooking techniques, but also incorporate innovative elements to cater to the taste buds of customers and provide a unique dining experience.
For example, Waldorf Astoria Chengdu's Kirin Steakhouse's new menu, designed by an Italy chef, includes appetizers, salads, soups, main courses and desserts, incorporating flavours from the Eastern Mediterranean coast. New World Beijing New World Hotel's innovative new menus, including Gold Medal Plum Button Pork and Charcoal-grilled Angus Beef Ribs, are created with fresh ingredients and traditional Chinese cooking techniques to create a unique dining experience for guests.
In addition, the hotel's creative cuisine can also be innovated by combining different cuisines. For example, combine Chinese and Western cuisine, or combine local specialties with international cuisine to create entirely new dishes. This fusion menu not only enriches the menu, but also enhances the appeal and uniqueness of the dishes.
In practice, hotel chefs often learn from the successful cases of their peers and combine their own ideas to improve and innovate. For example, roasted beef tenderloin with porcini mushrooms and Parmesan cheese is made by baking beef tenderloin in a pan, wrapping it in tin foil, and roasting it at a high temperature, and then serving it with porcini mushrooms and Parmesan cheese to add flavor.
To meet guests' needs for healthy eating, some hotels are also offering healthy options such as organic ingredients, low-fat dishes, sugar-free foods, and focusing on special dietary needs such as vegetarian foods, gluten-free diets, lactose intolerant foods, etc.
In short, the hotel's creative cuisine is not only the result of chefs' continuous experimentation and exploration, but also an important means for the hotel to improve its competitiveness and service quality. Through continuous innovation and improvement, the hotel is able to provide customers with a more colorful dining experience, which in turn attracts more customers and increases satisfaction.
What are the latest trends and innovative elements of creative cuisine in hotels?
The latest trends and innovative elements of the hotel's creative cuisine are mainly focused on the following aspects:

This trend underscores the need for unique and personalized dining experiences.
- Authentic food and beverage sensory experience: Consumers are paying more attention to the original food and beverage sensory experience, which indicates that hotels need to pay more attention to the freshness and original flavor of ingredients in the preparation of dishes.
- New ingredients, new flavors, new combinations, new processes, new shapes, new utensils, new elements: innovative cuisine should cover these seven aspects to meet customers' pursuit of freshness and special tastes. For example, Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing, Beijing, has launched a number of special fusion Cantonese dishes, showcasing a new style of fusion Cantonese cuisine with excellent combinations, shapes and flavors.
- Sustainability & Environmental Initiatives: Hotel catering will adopt more eco-friendly measures such as reducing food waste, using biodegradable tableware and local seasonal ingredients, while promoting a socially responsible supply chain through fair trade and community support programs.

How to combine local traditional cuisine and modern cooking techniques to develop creative dishes for the hotel?
Combining local traditional cuisine with modern culinary techniques to develop a hotel's creative cuisine requires thinking and practice from many aspects. First, you can delve into the history, culture and craftsmanship of the region's cuisine and learn about its unique flavors. This not only helps to preserve the character of traditional ingredients, but also provides inspiration for innovation.
Combining traditional ingredients with modern cooking techniques is one of the key steps. This can be achieved, for example, by adding modern ingredients to traditional dishes or employing modern cooking techniques. This fusion not only preserves the traditional taste, but also brings new surprises and experiences. In addition, some places have begun to experiment with combining traditional cuisine with modern cooking techniques to create new varieties and flavors of cuisine.
In addition, creative cuisine is not only a simple combination of ingredients and cooking techniques, but also a cultural inheritance and innovation. For example, in the Osmanthus Cake Workshop, the traditional osmanthus cake making process has been introduced with modern baking techniques, and a variety of flavors of osmanthus cake have been introduced. This innovation not only preserves the traditional flavor, but also gives new life to the product.
At the same time, creative cuisine can also be achieved through the combination of Chinese and Western culinary concepts. Chinese creative cuisine is rooted in traditional Chinese cooking techniques and skillfully combined with modern food culture to make the cuisine show new charm. This kind of integration not only enriches the connotation of the dishes, but also enhances the overall artistic sense and appreciation.
In short, the development of a hotel's creative cuisine by combining local traditional cuisine with modern cooking techniques requires a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as history, culture, ingredients and cooking techniques.

How can hotels innovate by merging different cuisines?
Hotels can innovate their cuisines by merging different cuisines, which is mentioned in multiple pieces of evidence. First of all, Chef Hou Xinqing mentioned that the innovation of hotel catering can be based on tradition, while integrating the characteristic elements of different cuisines, such as the raw materials of Chaozhou cuisine, the seafood of Taizhou cuisine, the techniques of Cantonese cuisine and the taste of Sichuan cuisine. This fusion not only enriches the variety of dishes, but also enhances the depth and texture of the dishes.
In addition, through the innovative integration of regional cuisine, seasonal cuisine and special dishes, Scholar Hotel takes "Taste of China" as the theme and takes "Food" as the core product to improve performance. This strategy not only attracts customer interest but also increases F&B turnover.
In terms of specific innovative methods, you can refer to the food festivals with different themes launched every year, such as the Lucky Star Chinese Restaurant Wild Mountain Mushroom Food Festival, the Summer Seafood Food Festival, the Autumn Cuisine Food Festival (including Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Lu cuisine, etc.) and other special food festivals in winter. This seasonal and thematic innovation appeals to customers with different tastes and needs.
