The 48-year-old Cantonese restaurant "Da San Yuan" believes that the essential elements of a Michelin-starred restaurant are the ingredients, delicious taste, and comfortable environment. At first, the chairman Qiu Jinghui would personally go to the market to buy ingredients, so that the customers could eat with peace of mind. Now, she just goes to trusted stores. The first recommended signature dish is the old classic "Seafood Baked Papaya," which uses a papaya from Pingtung with just the right sweetness, cut in half and seeded, filled with shrimp, scallops, dried fruits, mushrooms, and Japanese fish cake. Another signature dish, "Roast Duck," is also very popular and must be reserved in advance. "Steam-Baked Lobster" is also a signature dish.
The average cost per person at Da San Yuan is around 500 yuan, and if you want to eat better, it's about 800 to 1200 yuan per person. The banquet dishes have set menus ranging from 1000 to 3000 yuan, and the table dishes start at 8000 yuan. Da San Yuan has six floors with a grand calligraphy exterior wall, which adds fun to dining here. The interior decor is elegant, with various antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and artworks filling the surroundings, creating a strong artistic atmosphere.
Da San Yuan is a restaurant that combines fine dining with traditional art, operating as a multi-functional restaurant. From the outside, the entire gray building is unremarkable, but once you enter, it's quite impressive. The spacious space and golden color scheme give it a very luxurious feel. Da San Yuan does not take the dining atmosphere and visual concept lightly. Moreover, there are enough staff members here, and almost every table has a staff member who carefully attends to the customers, serving tea and dishes at any time, making every customer satisfied.
The restaurant's commitment to delicious food is another key reason for its success. It integrates cooking theories from various regions of China and the West, creating a variety of new Cantonese dishes. There are many types of Hong Kong-style dim sum, all made to order, with excellent flavor. The signature dish here is particularly recommended: the "Baked Papaya with Seafood." It specifically uses small green papayas, combined with seafood ingredients, baked and grilled, with rich cheese flavor and sweet papaya, making the seafood flavor even more abundant. The salty and sweet taste is very unique.
