Home/Private Chef Banquet/Brand Story

Brand Origins

The Private Chef Banquet was born from a simple idea: "Truly important dinners deserve an entire building of their own."

In fast-paced city life, important moments — business dinners, family reunions, birthday celebrations — often end up squeezed into crowded restaurant private rooms, with noisy surroundings, hurried service and generic pre-prepared dishes… all of which dilute the warmth that "getting together" should have.

What the Private Chef Banquet does is restore the ritual and exclusivity a dinner party deserves. No anxiety over table turnover, no compromise for the sake of efficiency. Every table of guests is the only star of the day, and every chef exists for that single table.

Group Backing: MULAN GROUP's 30-Year Legacy

The Private Chef Banquet is one of the core brands in the dining division of MULAN GROUP. Since its founding in 1994, the Group has built 30 years of global supply-chain finance experience.

This means the Private Chef Banquet is backed by a complete industry chain from the tea mountain to the dinner table. Some of our ingredients come directly from the Group's own supply-chain system — for example, the Rock Tea served after dinner comes from our own garden in Tianxin Village. More Group products (such as Dezi Cellar spirits and MulanPOP desserts) will also be added to the banquet menu in the future.

Ingredient Philosophy: "Traceable Sources, Assured Quality"

  • Seafood purchased daily — partnering with quality local Hangzhou seafood suppliers to guarantee every shrimp and fish arrives live the same day
  • Curated meat suppliers — Australian Angus / M9-grade wagyu beef, pork from designated breeding farms, and poultry delivered fresh daily
  • Organic-first vegetables — leafy greens sourced from organic- or green-certified suppliers, root vegetables direct from origin
  • Tea from our own garden — the Wuyi Rock Tea served at the table and given as gifts all comes from the Group's 30-mu heritage tea garden in Tianxin Village, Wuyishan
  • Full traceability — select ingredients use Web3 blockchain tracing, so scanning a code reveals their origin and logistics history

What We Believe

"A good meal is more than just food on a plate.
It is a bridge between people, a vessel for feelings,
the moment unsaid words are spoken over a raised glass.
Our mission is to protect the quality of that moment."
