The festival features a series of curated dining packages, each thoughtfully designed for diverse tastes and occasions:

At the heart of the festival are three new broths – Duck & Radish, Fish Collagen & Salted Vegetables and Chicken & Coriander – enriching Bai Yun’s signature soup repertoire. Making its debut alongside them is the Chef’s Signature Set, featuring freshly steamed dim sum, Cantonese-style barbecue, premium meats, seasonal seafood, handmade noodles, fresh fruits and aromatic Chinese tea. Every detail is crafted to reflect the essence of hot pot dining: warmth, sharing and celebration.
‘Golden Week and the Mid‐Autumn Festival are among the most cherished times for family reunions and cultural celebrations,’ said Vincent Guironnet, General Manager. ‘Since its opening in 2021, Bai Yun has become a favourite destination for hot pot, attracting guests from Indonesia, across Asia and beyond. Its consistent recognition among TripAdvisor’s top Chinese dining experiences in Bali inspires us to continue innovating and curating new menus, ensuring our guests always have something exciting to look forward to.’
Adding his perspective, Chef Ho Weng Kit, Executive Sous Chef of Bai Yun, commented: ‘As a Malaysian chef who has worked across Asia, it is my wish to make this Golden Week and Mid‐Autumn Festival feel like coming home. Our Hot Pot Festival showcases the comforting flavours I grew up with, allowing everyone to experience the warmth and beauty of Asian cuisine together.’
Since opening, Bai Yun, meaning ‘white cloud’ in Chinese, has established itself as Bali’s leading hot pot destination, celebrated for its premium ingredients, inventive flavours and attentive service. With the Hot Pot Festival, the restaurant once again blends authentic Chinese traditions with Balinese warmth, offering guests an extraordinary way to mark the season.
