Table8 offers a stylish Chinese buffet that is the first of its kind in Bali.
The restaurant, located on the promenade level of The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas Nusa Dua, has introduced the island to an abundant oriental culinary experience that pampers every taste bud.
From the elegantly displayed buffet served across seven stations, to the exclusively crafted signature dishes on the a la carte menu, these home cooking-inspired dishes provide patrons with a feast.
To start the oriental culinary adventure, patrons can begin with chilled mini-plated appetizers.
Try Marinated Jellyfish sprinkled with sesame seeds for its unique flavor, or the steamed Drunken Prawn marinated in Chinese wine. Other delicate displays of cold appetizers include chili vinegar-marinated pork knuckle and sliced marinated beef shank. 
Diners can also warm themselves with various choices of clay pots, the favorite of which is Sapo Vermicelli Black Pepper Prawn, closely followed by Sapo Chicken Zhe Zhe, Sapo Shrimp Paste Lettuce and Sapo Roasted Pork, Tofu and Shrimp Paste.
At the soup station, the cooks are ready with fresh beef, chicken, fish and vegetables prepared to your individual preference, especially delicious for those craving a hot liquid dish.
The stir-fry station serves freshly cooked mains and side dishes, complemented by a range of flavorful sauces.
Ready-cooked dishes of chili crabs, delicious home-cooked tofu, vegetables and fish with oyster sauce and a variety of other tempting treats are on standby for those wanting a quick bite.
A spread of dim sum favorites is always available on the dim sum buffet, including har gao, siu mai and char siu bao. Served in bamboo dim sum boxes, this delectable cuisine can be steamed or fried, according to your preference.
For a deeper dive into the Chinese culinary experience, patrons can savor a lavish spread from the a la carte menu, featuring a rich selection from the culinary team, including the signature Buddha Jump Over The Wall and Australian Five Head Whole Abalone braised with wild mushroom or Roasted Suckling Pig.
A scrumptious variety of sweet desserts are served to bring the luxurious repast to a close.
To complete the authentic dining experience, try the XuangXi Flower Tea, which is served in true Chinese tradition in a long glass with a round bundle of flowers inside. The tea master then showcases his masterful enchanting martial art-inspired movements with a long-nosed brass kettle as he pours the hot water into the glass causing the flower to blossom.
With large dining tables and sofas, the restaurant can accommodate up to 100 guests. It also has the Ci Xi Suite, an elegant private dining room inspired by China's Empress Dowager Ci Xi and decorated with pieces of her art.
Diners will be mesmerized with the combination of classic and contemporary elements that harmoniously blend to create an elegant and soothing atmosphere. At night, Table8's contemporary and artful lighting emphasizes the restaurant's warm colors.
Table8 ' which opens every day and serves lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and dinner from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. ' is the most recent addition to the dining venues of The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas Nusa Dua, Bali, which last year won the top Beach Resort in the World in the Condé Nast Traveler US ' Readers' Choice Awards 2014 and came number three in Top 100 Hotels and Resorts in the World.
