Fire Bowl and Hot Ice Station
This unique station blends flavors, textures and temperatures to create a unique and fun experience for the guest. Taking traditional wok cooking techniques and not so traditional cooking methods of molecular gastronomy this station is a show for the senses.
With the FIRE BOWL quickly cooking the desired food items in a traditional wok method the flavors begin to build and like a great piece music they crescendo, by adding the molecular HOT ICE REDUCTION onto the FIRE BOWL Foods and blend into a melody of music to the mouth. A physical theater of the palate is created.
