Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
This is the first flagship of a local restaurant chain. The faux-industrial decor works nicely with the greenery and ocean views. The menu is dominated by local seafood and Minnan dishes, depicted by shrimps in sa cha sauce that boast firm texture, mild heat and a deep nutty flavour. Also try Buddha jumps over the wall, crab roe stewed rice, Angus beef in mustard sauce or Chic’s very own sea perch thick soup with fish maw.
