Restaurant
A Zhong Shi Fang
What started out as a street stall over two decades ago has firmly established itself as a favourite dining spot among locals. There is no menu – you just browse the fish tanks and light boxes to see your options. Seafood is their strong suit, but so are authentic Minnan dishes. The a la plancha threadfin with Sichuan pepper sauce boasts umami heightened by aromatics. Try the stir fried pork liver with pickled bamboo shoot, too.
Michelin's Bib Gourmand marks good quality meals at moderate prices, focusing on value without star-level prestige.
