Missing a dinner feast in Tai O would be a big regret, given the fresh local produce they offer at the place! Hop over to the Tai O Crossing Boat Restaurant for their Cantonese stir-fry and seafood themed dishes. Though you cannot witness how the villagers used to rely on the “Crossing Boat” crossing the canal anymore, do grab the table by the water for the unbeatable view of the houses on stilts to level up your dining experience!

There are a lot of must-try items including the Charcoal-roasted Goose, Fried Cuttlefish Patties and the ultimate Tai O Steamed Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaves! Served in a large bamboo dimsum basket with clouds of steam rising, the dome of rice is blended with a wide variety of ingredients like pork, dried small fishes, squids, and small chunks of fishes. You can definitely embrace all textures and flavors in one bite: fluffy rice, tender fresh fish meat and chewy pork strips seasoned with the shrimp paste. Do mix it well first for irresistible scoops of pleasure. 

If you are craving for more shrimp-paste-flavored dish, go for the classic Cantonese Stir-Fried Morning Glory. Infused with the signature pungent flavors, this simple veggie dish not only eases your guiltiness from having too much unhealthy food, but also satisfies your savory cravings. You can tell it is extra good from its “Wok Hei” (鑊氣) – an indicator of true Cantonese cooking that tells if the dish has that the distinctively smoky and singed flavors. So, make sure you order more to keep your stomach happy!
