Liu Li Seafood Palace Debuts at AYANA Bali: A New Era of Refined Chinese Dining

AYANA Bali, the island’s largest integrated resort destination, is pleased to announce that Ah Yat Abalone Seafood Restaurant will be reborn as Liu Li Palace Seafood Restaurant, an iconic AYANA-owned restaurant brand beloved by discerning diners at AYANA Midplaza Jakarta since 2021. This transition brings one of Jakarta’s most prestigious Chinese dining experiences to AYANA Bali, enriching the resort’s diverse culinary landscape with its dedication to premium ingredients, traditional Chinese techniques, and modern sophistication.

Drawing inspiration from liu li (琉璃), the ancient Chinese art of colored glass making known for its beauty, clarity, and symbolism, the restaurant embodies the same principles of artistry and precision in its cuisine. At Liu Li Palace, each dish is a celebration of Cantonese and Szechuan traditions as well as a showcase of rare ingredients, elaborate preparation, and refined taste.

The menu is a testament to Chinese culinary heritage, spotlighting delicacies often reserved for the most discerning diners. Guests can indulge in the legendary Mini Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, a complex, slow-simmered soup brimming with abalone, sea cucumber, dried scallops, fish maw, and other treasured marine ingredients — it’s a dish steeped in history and revered for its depth of flavor and nourishing qualities. The Cantonese-style Suckling Pig, prepared with meticulous attention to texture and balance, offers the perfect harmony of crispy skin and tender meat, emblematic of celebratory Chinese feasts.

Other highlights include delicately plated Lobster Sashimi, served fresh to honor the pristine quality of the seafood, and the sought-after Sea Mantis, prepared in Liu Li’s signature superior soy sauce, which enhances the natural sweetness of this special crustacean. Steamed Grouper Hong Kong Style reflects the elegance of minimal seasoning done right, allowing the freshness of the fish to shine. For communal enjoyment, the Family Style Hot Pot features a rich broth and a tantalizing selection of fresh seafood, house-made fish balls, and premium meats.

With a live seafood aquarium, sleek interiors inspired by the four seasons, and a sparkling, open-view kitchen, Liu Li Seafood Palace offers an elegant and welcoming setting ideal for both intimate gatherings and grand celebrations. The restaurant features 9 private VIP rooms— accommodating up to 33 guests—and 3 spacious main dining halls seating up to 130, making it the perfect venue for family celebrations, corporate events, wedding receptions, and traditional sangjit ceremonies.

“Liu Li Seafood Palace represents AYANA’s dedication to excellence and cultural authenticity,” says Giordano Faggioli, General Manager of AYANA Bali. “We are proud to bring this celebrated dining experience in-house as part of the AYANA brand. It reflects our continued commitment to offering refined, world-class cuisine to our guests, and we look forward to establishing Liu Li Palace as a new landmark of Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine on the island.”
