We were absolutely delighted to welcome Talita and her lovely group of dear friends last night, celebrating this precious milestone — her beautiful journey from Miss to Mrs 💍

The evening was filled with laughter, great company and wonderful food, creating countless heart‑warming memories.

Today is the Chinese Mid‑Autumn Festival 🌕
In Chinese culture, the full moon symbolises reunion, completeness and boundless love. An ancient poetic line goes:
“So let us wish that man will live long as he can! Though miles apart, we’ll share the beauty she displays.”
This famous verse expresses that we all gaze upon one shared bright moon, even when we are far away from each other.

On this special moonlit day, Talita officially gets married.
Our sincerest wishes to the beautiful newly‑wed Talita. May your marriage overflow with endless love and happiness, and may you build countless precious memories side by side.

Beneath this same sky and the same full moon, we send warm blessings to everyone across the globe.
We receive the gift of family love at birth, cherish loyal friendships as we grow, and finally embrace the joy of true love.

What a busy, heartwarming week we’ve had at Nautilus Restaurant.
We were honoured to host so many precious milestone birthdays:
A sweet 1st birthday, marking the very first trip around the sun;
A vibrant 21st birthday, the big coming-of-age celebration;
A wonderful 70th birthday, a beautiful testament to a life well-lived;
And a remarkable 80th birthday, a treasure of wisdom and cherished memories.

Every age carries its own magic and meaning.
It is such a joy for us to witness these special moments, share laughter and help create lasting memories for all our guests.
Thank you for trusting us with your celebrations.

Our kitchen team is hard at work crafting a special homemade Chinese dessert 🥮

Do you know what it is? Drop your guess!

Mid‑Autumn Festival is a festival of family reunion. Mooncakes are round, just like the full moon. Eating mooncakes together means families gather, miss distant family members and wish everyone well.

Look at our finished pieces✨
