Victor Yu said; “We launched Odyssey of Taste last year to really forge a path for collaborative events in Chinese cuisine and we were delighted with the outcome. All three nights were a sell-out and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive so we were never in any doubt we would bring it back again this year.”
