Shanhaichaowei, this hidden gem of Chaoshan cuisine in Hongkou, is a must-try.

Spring is the perfect time to savor fresh flavors. Gather your friends and head out for some Chaoshan cuisine, known for its fresh, fragrant, tender, and smooth textures. It emphasizes the natural flavors of ingredients and features refined cooking techniques. This Chaoshan restaurant, tucked away in the Sun Palace in Hongkou, is truly unforgettable. The ambiance is elegant and stylish, with a sophisticated red and black color scheme. I especially love the artwork here. The private rooms are spacious and bright, and there's even a large terrace garden. Surrounded by lush greenery, it's a delightful spot to enjoy tea on a spring day. ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ ❣️ Puning Bean Sauce Baked Large Yellow Croaker: The addition of Puning bean sauce creates a rich, salty aroma that pairs perfectly with seafood. The fresh large yellow croaker boasts tender meat and golden skin. The salty fragrance of the bean sauce permeates the fish, making every bite a burst of flavor that lingers on the palate.👍 ❣️ Tangerine Peel, Duck, and Other Treasures Simmered Duck: Tangerine peel is one of the three treasures of Chaoshan cuisine. Simmered for hours, the duck meat becomes incredibly tender, falling off the bone. The soup is rich and flavorful, with the refreshing aroma of tangerine peel blending seamlessly with the savory duck. It's a nourishing and heartwarming dish. ❣️ Preserved Radish, Seafood, and Diced Pork Stir-fry: Preserved radish, also known as dried radish, adds a salty, crispy, and refreshing element to this stir-fry. Hong Chao Hui combines it with fresh shrimp, squid, pork, and other ingredients for a dish with rich textures, distinct layers, and an irresistible appeal. ❣️ Five-Finger Peach Steamed Bearded Chicken 🐔: Free-range bearded chicken offers firm, tender meat and crispy skin. Steaming preserves the original flavors, allowing the delicate fragrance of five-finger peach to infuse the chicken. The golden-brown chicken is succulent and aromatic, tempting you to take another bite. ❣️ Chaoshan Pickled Mustard Greens Stir-fried with Octopus 🐙: The stir-frying process perfectly blends the sour and refreshing pickled mustard greens with the tender octopus. The result is a crispy, sour, and spicy dish that's incredibly satisfying. ♥️ Hong Chao Hui offers many other authentic Chaoshan delicacies, such as Chaoshan Braised Goose, Oyster Omelette, Beef Balls, and more. Every dish is a culinary delight🤤.
