Healthy eating, the Chinese way

Forget salads and juice cleanses, this unique tea house offers dishes inspired by TCM theories on balancing the yin and yang, Dong Fangyu reports.

Traditionally, the period in Chinese solar terms called White Dew indicates the changing of the season from summer to autumn. Every year, White Dew, or bailu in Chinese, takes place on the 15th solar term, which happens to be on Sept 8 this year.

On this day, Jiaming Tea House unveiled a new 10-course menu featuring premium Chinese teas and dishes aimed at giving the body the nourishment it needs to cope with this transition.
