宫宴 experience in 上海 💯

💗 How to book?

- Search 宫宴 on #wechat and its mini program will appear.

- You will need a China phone number to book via their mini program.

- OR you can wechat them to make a manual booking

- Both ways require alipay account to make deposit of rmb$100!

- VIP seats (first row) are always sold out as soon as the date is available, I booked mine 10 days in advanced!

💙 Price

- I paid rmb$498 for the vip seat (very worth it imo). VIPs get served first + special style of serving, idk how to explain it but basically the waitresses will do a short dance before serving you.

- rmb$100 for outfit rental + hairdo

- rmb$200 for outfit rental + hairdo + make up

- I had lunch which starts at 12noon but arrived at 1030am for the prep! If you are not doing any hairdo or makeup done, you can arrive at 12noon.

- dinner is rmb$100 more iirc.

💛 Experience / Food

- OK first off, gotta give it up to the ancient people, the dress is very troublesome to walk around + going to toilet. Also, the rental hanfu is already modernised, can't imagine ancient times lol. But for the full experience I had to try it!

- All staff address you 佳人 or 公子!

- The lunch and performance was about 2 hours but it went by very quickly! The serving of food and performance was very well timed.

- I like how a mini history story is projected on our plates before serving the food!

- I had very low expectations of the food but surprisingly it was good???? Haha I really enjoyed it!

all in all I feel it's worth a try! and will definitely try it again, they will change content to different dynasty!
