Nanhai no.1    南海一號  

I haven't tried many things here because I've sort of been eating the same stuff every time I come here .

Basically, there are two things that are really good:

(1) Salt and chilli squid (椒鹽龍鬚) - This is seriously the best salt and chilli squid I've ever had. It is so light and soft, yet crispy. This is a must try.

(2) Rice in lobster soup (龍蝦泡飯) - The soup has a very heavy lobster flavour to it, except there is actually no lobster meat. You won't feel too cheated though because this dish is only around $130 (I mean, lobster for $130, really?) and there's enough for six bowls. There are also a lot of prawns to compensate for it. There's a mixture of rice and crispy rice bits in it, giving it lots of texture. The soup has some parsley in it so remember to tell the waiters if you don't want any parsley.

Dim sum is alright but the selection is too small in my opinion. Just the usual shrimp dumplings, cheung fun, etc. The roasted crispy pork is very crispy but too salty.

I've also tried this tomato in broth. It looks very interesting as you can see from the photo above. However, it's just what it looks - a tomato in broth. There's also a hazelnut in the tomato, which is a bit odd.

There's a section of the restaurant that's a bar so it's possible to just come here for drinks and salt and chilli squid . The ambience is also really nice because the view's amazing and the ceiling is very high.

Remember to try their "Nanhai Tea" too! It's got a very refreshing taste to it.
