Nanhai No. 1 - Contemporary Chinese eats

 Apologies for not having updated in a long time, but studies took over a lot of my time and I've been finding it hard to find time to update!
Hope everyone has a great 2012 filled with amazing food =) 


Nanhai No. 1 @ Isquare

Marinated jellyfish
 Quite thickly cut compared to other versions I've had. 

Marinated cucumbers

 Marinades for both starters were very well balanced. 

Double boiled soup
Contents from the soup - chicken feat, pork, gizzard and conch etc.
Braised soya chicken
 Very tender chicken in a balanced soy stew sauce. No complaints and perfect with plain rice. 

Stir-fried shrimps with jade melon, mushrooms and carrot.

Seasonal veg with shimeiji mushrooms
Mushrooms had a lovely 'wok hei' (smokiness from the heat of the wok) to it. Looks simple but so delicious.

Flash-fried garoupa fillets

Fried rice and seafood in lobster soup
One of the better versions I've had. The waiter puts the hot fried rice into the soup in front of us for a bit of theatre, and then after serving the rice retained a crispy-stickiness to it. Yum, and better than Cuisine Cuisine's.
