Matteo does his pitch in a dining room of unknown identity until he and his audience leave the room afterwards and it is revealed that they are in the Jumbo floating restaurant. This screen grab shows the main internal staircase and its rather elaborate wall frieze. It's a familiar sight for anyone that has visited, even if you never bothered to actually dine.
The current status of the Jumbo is that it closed down last year as a result of the pandemic restrictions and has subsequently been sold to Ocean Park to, somehow, be incorporated into the park attractions in some way. I have no idea what has happened to the Tai Pak and whether or not it was included in the deal. I hope so.
