The simple charm of the food at Donghuang Restaurant
#SingaporeAttractions
Walking into Donghuang Restaurant, a time-honored Hainanese restaurant, is like stepping into a culinary landscape full of Singaporean customs and culture.
The interior decoration of the restaurant is antique and the noble style of early big restaurants can be seen everywhere. The old-fashioned wood carvings on the wall, the tiled collages on the floor, and the paper-cut windows on the ceiling all highlight the historical origins of this restaurant.
After we were seated under the guidance of the waiter, a large basket of fragrant boiled chicken was placed in front of us. The meat was tender and juicy, and it was a perfect match with the special Hainan curry sauce. Next to it is a big pot of fragrant chicken soup, with countless golden and crispy fried dough sticks floating on the soup, making people salivate.
As we picked up the chicken and devoured it, another dish was served: a colorful and varied platter of fresh seafood. There are plump and chewy white shrimps, crystal clear mussels, and brightly colored shark fins, all of which will make you salivate.
We wandered in this seafood chicken rice feast with a strong Singaporean flavor, chewing it heartily, feeling the simple and original charm of the simple ingredients, and finding the original yearning for food. Being in this elegant and noble dining environment, we also gain an unprecedented immersive experience in our hearts, and have a new understanding and enlightenment of the simple beauty of life.
