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 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 refined celebration of Cantonese and Szechuan traditions, where Liu Li's talented chefs artfully modernize classic flavors with bold Sichuan-inspired elements, fresh seafood, and an immersive hot pot experience, creating a harmonious fusion of innovation and tradition.

For communal dining, the Family Style Hot Pot is a standout experience, featuring three signature broths — House-Made Tomato Soup, Sichuan Mala Soup, and Chicken Soup — each offering a distinct flavor profile. Guests can select one or two of these flavorful bases. Complementing the broths is a curated selection of handcrafted signature dishes, such as the Stuffed Tofu Platter filled with a savory medley of pork and squid, Handmade Meatballs in shrimp, fish, and beef varieties, and the Signature Crispy Fried Meat, made with fermented bean curd pork for a perfect balance of crispy texture and tender flavor. A variety of specially crafted dipping sauces is also available to enhance the richness and nuance of every bite.

The wider menu continues to honor Chinese culinary heritage, spotlighting delicacies often reserved for special occasions. 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, while the Cantonese-style Suckling Pig, prepared with meticulous attention to texture and balance, offers the perfect harmony of crispy skin and tender meat.

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. Another highlight, Steamed Grouper Hong Kong Style reflects the elegance of minimal seasoning done right, allowing the freshness of the fish to shine.

With a live seafood aquarium and sleek interiors inspired by the four seasons, 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 50 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.

To celebrate its rebranding, Liu Li Palace is offering special offers on the All-You-Can-Eat Hot Pot and Limitless Liu Li Lunch (dim sum), available from 1 June to 31 August 2025. Offers are valid for both in-house and outside guests.

“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.”
