Ze 8 (Haizhu)

The dimly lit space is dotted with red lanterns and bamboo screens; the sizzling sounds and intoxicating smells from the semi-open kitchen prime diners for a feast that engages all senses. The menu features around 30 dishes served in claypots, complemented by an array of home-made sauces – try the rice paddy eel variety with firm, flavoursome meat. The double-boiled soups and home-made ginger juice milk curd ice cream are also worth trying.
