Super Seafood

The Café on the first floor of the Chang An Grand Hotel is extremely busy on Friday nights, because the hotel's 98-yuan seafood buffet always attracts a crowd.

The restaurant is decorated with the images of fish and fishing gear; the waiters and waitress wear themed costumes, and the buffet features oysters from Australia, salmon from Norway and China's best sea snails. The oysters are so fresh that any cooking would destroy the divine taste. Just two or three drops of lemon juice, plus some dry wine, will make the freshest oyster dish. Diners have more choices with the salmon and can try sashimi, fried, or smoked salmon. Snails are cooked in traditional Sichuan style: boiled, filled with meat and cooked with several spices. Other seafood, such as lobster, eel and crab, are also presented utilising a variety of different culinary arts. Of course, you can also enjoy steak, vegetable, fruits and desserts anytime.
