Although Tim Choi Chao Yuan officially said that it started in 2003, its first restaurant (MixC store) was officially opened at the end of 2017. However, the founder Chen Xiaozhen founded the Tiancai Restaurant as early as 2003, which focuses on Cantonese cuisine, and Chaozhou cuisine is a subdivision of Cantonese cuisine, and there is no problem with the official statement.
The founder Chen Xiaozhen founded Tiancai Chaoyuan is also for the needs of enterprise transformation, thanks to many years of experience in restaurant management, the opening of Tiancai Chaoyuan has not encountered any difficulties. The restaurant specially invited a three-generation descendant of a century-old brine family, Master Chen, from Chaoshan to be in charge of the braised food, and the three generations of the family make brine food is not rare in Chaoshan, and this publicity should not be exaggerated. Tiancai Chaoyuan claims to pursue the orthodox Chaoshan flavor, and directly cooperates with local suppliers in Chaoshan, whether it is Chenghai lion's head goose, frozen flower crab, or river and sea fish, bitter gourd tofu are directly supplied from Chaoshan.
Tian Cai Chaoyuan not only has traditional Chaoshan cuisine, but the chef team has made some innovations in the dishes. The store's main brine lion-headed goose is Master Chen's proud work. The brine is Master Chen's family secret recipe, and each lion-headed goose has to be boiled for 2 hours. Goose meat, goose wings, goose paws, goose gizzards, foie gras, goose heads and goose eggs are neatly arranged on the plate, and the aroma of the goose attracts chopsticks. The dry-fried Chaoshan Shiyu Ding is made of fresh and air-transported Chaoshan river and sea miscellaneous fish, and the crispy fish skin hides the fish fragrance without fishy smell, and a variety of flavors are available for you to choose. The performance of geoduck seafood casserole porridge, five-kernel tofu, and Chao-style oyster roast is also basically passable, and it is worth trying.
I have to say that Tiancai Chaoyuan is very different from most common Chaocai restaurants in terms of decoration style, and the environment is elegant and exquisite, and it is at the middle and upper level. The restaurant has several private rooms, all of which do not set a minimum charge, service charge, etc. The waiter's attitude is enthusiastic, and his professionalism is also worthy of recognition.
