Ada Dinner Series is an intimate dinner experience where food becomes the conversation. Each month, we gather a table of just 12-16 guests for a chef-led dining experience unlike anything you'll find at a traditional restaurant. Expect seasonal menus, the stories behind every dish, and the kind of connection that only happens when a meal is made with intention. Reserve your seat — everyone is welcomed.
the night market | july 18th
A Modern Tasting Experience Inspired by Asian Night Markets
Late Night Market is inspired by the energy, contrast, and bold flavors of night markets across Asia—where food is vibrant, fast-paced, and deeply rooted in tradition. In Chinese culture, late-night eating, known as yè xiāo夜宵, is its own ritual—unstructured, social, and full of flavor.
This menu reimagines those moments through a more refined lens. Each course builds with intention—starting bright and crisp, moving into smoke and spice, then settling into something warm and deeply comforting.
It’s meant to feel both familiar and unexpected.
Take your time, enjoy each course as it arrives, and let the experience unfold.

A Five-Course Menu Every dish is thoughtfully crafted using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients — prepared fresh by me from start to finish. No shortcuts. No fillers. Just intentional, technique-driven food made with care.
Tea & Water Service Complimentary tea and still water will be served throughout the evening.
BYOB Welcome You're warmly invited to bring your own wine or beverage of choice. Ada will provide wine glasses — just bring what you love to drink and she'll take care of the rest.
An Intimate Table for 12 This isn't a restaurant experience. You're joining a curated group of 12 guests around a single table — where conversation flows as naturally as the courses and strangers leave as friends.
