From Qiandao Lake to the World's Table
A highlight of the programme was an extraordinary four-hands dining collaboration between Chef Yu Bin and Chef Rishi Naleendra, where Chinese culinary heritage met Singapore's contemporary dining scene. Guided by the elegance of Kaluga Queen caviar, the menu showcased how caviar can elevate both savoury and sweet creations through creativity and craftsmanship.
Michelin two-star chef Mano Thevar also made a special appearance at Kaluga Queen Westlake 66 Hangzhou, presenting an exclusive Nanyang-inspired creation that reflected the spirit of cultural exchange and culinary innovation.
More than a showcase of luxury ingredients, the experience celebrated the coming together of cultures, ideas, and flavours. It was a meaningful journey that strengthened our appreciation for the people, processes, and passion behind one of the world's most exceptional ingredients.
As part of the Kaluga Queen Global Gourmet Map 2026, Indoguna Singapore was honoured to visit Hangzhou, China, for an immersive journey into the world of premium caviar.
Our visit began at Kaluga Queen's renowned sturgeon farm at Qiandao Lake, where we witnessed the meticulous process behind one of the world's finest caviars. From sustainable aquaculture and sturgeon nurturing to harvesting and production, the experience offered a deeper appreciation for the patience, craftsmanship, and expertise behind every pearl of caviar.
Beyond the farm, we were specially invited to the Kaluga Queen Global Gourmet Map 2026, an international gathering that brought together chefs, restaurateurs, industry leaders, and culinary professionals from China and Singapore. Centered around the theme, "From Qiandao Lake to the World's Table," the event explored premium ingredients, culinary innovation, evolving consumer trends, and the future of global gastronomy.
