Chiu San

Chiu San, a novel fusion restaurant in Hong Kong, has recently opened its doors, serving a unique blend of Chiu Chow and Japanese cuisine. The establishment is helmed by the third-generation descendants of a renowned Chiu Chow restaurant, setting it apart from traditional establishments. The restaurant's culinary philosophy is a departure from convention, as it masterfully combines the rich, complex flavors of Chiu Chow with the refined aesthetics of Japanese cuisine.

The menu is centered around four carefully curated Japanese-style teishoku sets that deftly merge the two culinary traditions. Among the highlights are a stone-grilled beef short rib dish infused with a rich, house-blended Chiu Chow satay and teriyaki sauce, and a soy-glazed fish sauce chicken thigh that is served beneath a smoking dome and finished with the aromatic addition of black garlic oil.

In addition to these main courses, Chiu San also offers an array of appetizers, such as pomegranate-shaped chicken dumplings, expertly flash-fried to a golden perfection, loaded with chicken, ham, and shiitake, and crowned with fish roe.
