Stay Here Description

Kai Xiaozao – meaning ‘cook with a small stove’ – humbly greets patrons with a shop front resembling the facade of a traditional house of the Chaoshan or Teochew region in eastern Guangdong. Inside, the Haizhu-based bistro is furnished with six bamboo tables and a dozen or so bamboo chairs, unadorned.

Handwritten, but unfortunately only in Chinese, the menu groups dishes into meat, seafood, veggies and soups, as well as traditional Chaoshan desserts, listing home cuisine that can be found on the table of any households from the region.
