Restaurant
Sheng Hai Lou (Cangshan)
The owner, who hails from Ninghua County, used to be a chef. To bring authentic Ninghua-style Hakkanese cooking to Fuzhou, he sources the best chicken, pork and vegetables from the small farms of his home county. Simply seasoned with scallion, ginger and rice wine, the must-try "concubine chicken" uses free-range birds with yellow skin and firm, flavourful meat. The lychee pork in sweet and sour sauce is made with the collar meat of black wild boar.
Michelin Selected (or "listed") restaurants receive recognition for solid performance but fall short of stars or Bib Gourmand, often noted for competence during travel.
