What people say
If you're looking for a restaurant that offers traditional Chinese cuisine with a modern twist, CheLi on Street Marks Place is the perfect spot. Their Bamboo Shoot Soup with Fresh and Salted Pork (腌笃鲜) is a must-try dish that will leave your taste buds craving for more. The pork is simmered using the traditional Chinese technique, resulting in an umami flavor that's not greasy. General Zuo himself was captivated by this soup in Anhui province, and it's no wonder why it's one of their most popular dishes.
Aside from their delicious food, CheLi also has a cozy ambiance that's perfect for gatherings with friends and family. Pour yourself a cup of tea or a glass of wine and enjoy their endlessly fascinating dishes like The Golden Seafood and Ham Fried Rice with Pine Nuts - an art form that combines flavors of umami, nutty, rice odor, and the scent of egg floss.
CheLi also has holiday business hours to accommodate your dining needs during special occasions like Christmas and New Year. So if you're looking for a restaurant that offers great food and service, head over to CheLi on Street Marks Place.
