Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
By the pier, this roof-top dining room commands gorgeous views of Gulangyu. The owner chose to re-create the ancient Fujian-style architecture and landscaping in his stunning venue, complete with a water feature, lush greenery and stone arches. The menu is focused on Minnan fare, illustrated by deep-fried taro dumplings with pork filling. Salt-baked Japanese scad accentuates its oily, natural flavour. Don’t miss the puppet show at night.
