Wow!!!

That's a Long Spout Teapot!

Come Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road and you can watch this Long Spout Teapot Tea Performance (长嘴壶茶艺)!

This is not commonly seen in Singapore though.

Long Spout Teapot Tea Performance (长嘴壶茶艺), one kind of Kung Fu (Gong Fu) Tea performance, is a popular tea performance in Sichuan and Zhe Jiang, China.

There was a saying in the early 3 century, the Chinese emperor Ah Dou was afraid that someone could attack him while serving him a drink. His Strategiest, Zhu Ge Liang (诸葛亮）invented a special tea pot made of copper and a long curved spout for him. This pot can be used to carry liquor but also be used as a weapon to protect him.

And there was another story saying that in the past, the old tea houses are always crowded and there are not many waitresses. People have to wait very long to be served. Long Spout tea pots allow waitress to pour tea from a distance thus they are able to serve multiple people at one spot. There are few styles: Erh Mei style (Sizchuan), Dragon 18 Style (Meng Ding, Sizchuan), Fu Rong (Sizchuan) and Tai Chi (Hangzhou, Zhejiang) and more.

The meat is tender and soft! Definitely a must try!!!
