Dai Jianjun is the proprietor of Dragon Well Manor,
a fine-dining restaurant in southern China.
And he has spent the last two decades
in an obsessive pursuit for food...
Welcome to
The food is ultimately a reflection of the terroir.
A fish stock soup.
A poached poultry dish.
And a braised winter melon,
cooked until it takes on the texture
and flavor of braised pork.
Now dinner here isn’t cheap.
A single meal starts at US$250.
And part of the reason is
the meticulous attention paid to the supply chain.
Every ingredient that passes through the restaurant
is logged in these books,
and Dai employs a fleet of buyers to make this happen.
