Storage for bread and dry goods. The most expensive thing in the palace pantry isn't the good its the silver moulds that imprints the imperial seal of the Seadar on every loaf baked in the palace.
In a long and laborious ritual the pantry inventory is read aloud by a steward to a witness to ensure no oil, grains or bread go missing unnoticed.
The pantry includes preserved fruits and nuts arranged in elaborate sculptures for table decorations to be used in the great halls at a moments notice they are made fresh each day whether needed or not.
Although most of the room is dry goods there are enormous clay jars of aged fish sauce at the back of the pantry, the smell if the lids are removed lingers for hours. There are also technically the scented clothes to be used to wipe the hands and faces of the stewards if they need to deliver food to those of higher rank.
The pantry also keeps a store of dried animal feed in case the emperor wishes to feed the animals in parts of the Beast Garden.
On one of the walls hangs an old painting of The Feast of the Goddess
