Located in Xiasha, Futian, Chaoxiang Sihai is a very young Chaoshan cold food restaurant, which has only been open for more than a year, and has earned enough reputation among the diners who come to visit, and the sharp edge is directly pointed at the well-known and old Chaoshan food stalls that have been rooted in Shenzhen for a long time. The clean and bright storefront, the traditional business model of cold stalls, and the classic Chaoshan taste make this restaurant an excellent choice for Shenzhen diners who are new to Teochew cuisine.

There are about 100 dishes served from all over the world, and although the variety is not complete, it basically concentrates the essence of Chaoxiang cuisine. Fish rice is an indispensable type of dish in Chaoshan, and it is also one of the signature dishes of Chaoshan all over the world. The so-called fish rice actually has nothing to do with rice, just a way of processing seafood, the production method is very simple, the fish fresh out of the water is washed and packed in baskets and sprinkled with salt, and then cooked and cooled with concentrated salt water, Chaoshan fishermen take fish as rice, so it is called "fish rice". There are not many kinds of fish rice in the tide and fragrant all over the world, but they are all classics, such as barang fish, big-eyed chicken, red parrot fish, oil ribbon fish, etc., all produced in Shantou Hong Kong, packed in bamboo baskets, sold in quantities, sold out every day. Most of the fish made into fish rice are firm, salted and steamed to show more dryness, cold and eaten, the fish is distinct, the taste is firm, salty and fragrant with fresh, the flavor is unique, and it can brighten the taste with Puning bean sauce from Chaoshan. The fish rice itself has been lightly marinated and has a high saltiness, and the Puning bean paste is also salty, so the fish rice is also a good porridge to eat.

In fact, fish rice is not limited to fish, but also thin-shelled rice, red meat rice, frozen red crab and frozen lobster. Among them, frozen lobster (lobster rice) is one of the signatures of Chaoxiang all over the world, and it is not common in other Chaoshan cold stalls. The frozen lobster is known for its low price and good quality, only 88 yuan a piece, and the chef will remove the shrimp meat before serving, and serve it with four kinds of dipping sauces, so that the meat is firm and the umami taste is prominent.

Teochew cuisine focuses on dipping sauces, and almost every dish has a different dipping plate combination, salty, sweet, fresh, spicy, spicy, each with its own particularity, in order to reconcile the balance of the taste of the whole table. Chaoxiang Sihai also put a lot of thought into dipping sauces, and did not fool things around like some cold gears, which is very commendable. Such as Chaoshan fried shrimp and jujube, the skin is crispy, the shrimp meat is filled, fragrant and salty, at this time, with the sweet Chaoshan kumquat oil, the taste can be lifted, and the oil is relieved. The oysters are baked in thick oil and the bottom of the cake is burnt and fragrant, and the coriander is stacked on top of each other, and the pepper and fish sauce are served to stimulate the umami. The taste of raw pickled shrimp and raw pickled shrimp is light, the seasoning is sweet, but the taste is uneven, with a slight fishy feeling.

The store is not large, with seven or eight small tables on the first floor, and round tables for many people on the second floor, and two private rooms, which can be booked in advance. There is no ingenuity in the decoration, but it is much cleaner and neater than the ordinary food stalls, which looks bright and refreshing, and the small stalls are full of colorful dishes, which is quite eye-catching. The waiters and bosses walking around the store are mostly uncles and aunts with Chaoshan accents, with a friendly and friendly attitude, active enthusiasm, fast serving and high efficiency, and will remind guests of the eating method and dipping sauce during the dining process, and ask about the dining experience after eating. Compared with the black-faced, indifferent and lazy service of traditional Chaoshan food stalls, the service of Chaoxiang is definitely a plus in the whole dining process. The restaurant is located at the entrance of the urban village on the back side of KK ONE, and you can park your car in the mall parking lot by car. In the near future, Chaoxiang Sihai will also open a branch in Nanshan, and interested diners can also pay more attention.
