It has been a long time since people’s desire for dainties was no longer limited to merely enough food and drink, nor is people satisfied with the innovated food and novel dishes cooked in a different manner. Nowadays the fresh, unique food, or in other words the wonderful dishes with foreign flavour are favoured by more and more people. Meanwhile, tourists’ aspiration for eating, one of the six essentials in tourism activities, namely, eating, housing, transportation, sight-seeing, shopping, and recreation, has become more and more dainty and complicated.

Sanya is a small city as well as an international tourism city. As the amount of international tourists from Russia, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Europe and America keeps rising, the international restaurants, originally set up for those international tourists, have become the favourites of numerous domestic visitors due to their novelty. Driven by the demand, more diversified restaurants offering special food with foreign flavour are opened.
The smack of the dishes in Sanya should be sufficient to satisfy your international stomach.
Russian Dinner in Sanya: Refined Dinner in Tropical Sunlight

The Russians, who live in frigid zones, fly over half of the earth to Sanya for the sake of tropical sunlight, as clinging as birds of passage. Coming along with them are delicious, fragrant Russian dinner. Just like Russian people’s bold and unconstrained character, Russian food is featured with sumptuous dishes and strong flavour. Luo Song soup, Irkutsk salad, Russian meat cakes, together with sweet red wine and strong vodka are usually shared by an entire family, whose members sit around a furnace in a small wood cabin, tasting the unique flavour or a great meal and enjoying the warmness and affection of family life in cold winner.
In Sanya, however, the Russian food is served in a different sentiment despite the unchanged savour. The great dinner with Russian meat soup, fried Russian string cheese, and Cappuccino coffee becomes more exquisite. Sanya’s sunlight sets off the traditional Russian food by contrast with full-bodied tropical sentiment, heating the dishes to give off mouth-watering odor and present unfamiliar appeal.

Italian Food in Sanya: Going Beyond its Bounds with Tropical Feeling

The beauty of Italy consists of every popular element, including the art paradise Florence, glorious Rome city with historical vicissitudes, and Milan, a city of fashion and football, as well as dainty Italian food, which is still more popular in the world. Pizza cakes and Italian rice noodles can be found in ordinary western restaurants, and you don’t need go to an Italian restaurant just for trying them. Italian cooked dishes are famous for cook’s particular attention to cooking process, especially the heat control in cooking. Thus Italian dishes are typically slap-up food resulted from precise heating.

Korean Cuisine in Sanya: Different Romanticism with Chinese Characteristics

The insipidity of kelp soup and the sour and peppery savour of pickled vegetables are two kinds of quite different tastes, two personalities in two extremes, also the interweavement of quiet and enthusiasm, just like the joyful but quarrelling couples in Korean TV plays. Besides, the traditional Korean foods like mixed rice, baked meat, and rice cakes, are just very simple and common, but their making processes are rather complicated, just like Korean people’s characters, exquisite in every aspect.
The sea wind of Sanya unfolds the exquisiteness: the sunlight in Sanya melts the connotation. In Sanya, the Korean food, which possesses Chinese style, has become more open and romantic than South Korean idol dramas and even more open than the food on Jeju-do Island.

Japanese Cuisine in Sanya
– Perfect Combination of Live Raw Materials and Finished Cooking

Japanese people emphasize etiquettes in their hearts, and they are particular about their every facial expression and every action, so are they in dinner. They kneel on the floor with their behaviors reserved, meticulous and gentle. However, what Japanese people choose for their food, like Sushi, raw fish slices, raw vegetables etc. are primitive, which is contrastive to their orthodox etiquettes.

Comparing to Japanese seafood choices, those in Sanya are even more alive and attractive.

Thai Restaurants in Sanya: Same Tropical Zone, Same Dainties

The impression of Thailand for me is mostly given by the film named Ahu, in which Andy Lau and Takako Tokiwa act as the leading roles. From the period when they are unfamiliar till the separation forever, the drink and food of Thailand is casually inserted into the story and play the role as a latent bridge of communication among Ahu, the nun, and the daughter of Ahu.
In fact, Thai food has an unusual appeal. Thai cuisine takes seafood, fruits, and vegetables as the prime ingredients and uses originally Thailand produces spices in a large amount. The main flavours are sour, peppery, and sweet. The most famous dishes are: papaya salad as an appetizer, Tom Yum Kung Soup as a signature dish, and curried crabs. In Sanya, a place also in the tropical zone, tasting Thai food can give you a different foreign entertainment in addition to the enjoyment of the wonderful dishes.

Vietnamese Food in Sanya: Plain Life Across the Sea

Vietnam and Sanya are facing each other across the sea. As Vietnam is a relatively closed country, its food seems mysterious to foreign people. When we casually open the cover on the mystery, we find Vietnamese food is so close to our real life. One word can be used to describe the style to the most appropriate extent: Familiarity. Vietnamese spring rolls, sugarcane shrimps, Vietnamese roast meat, pork rice noodle rolls, and beef rice noodles are served in the small restaurants or stalls on streets as well as in small lanes. When people go away from the clamor and fickleness of some occasions and return to everyday life, they will find the true and so close to our life that it has a sense of tempt to us.

German Food in Sanya: Rational Feeling in Romantic Holiday

German dishes are not as heavy and complicated as French dishes, and not as light as British dishes either. They are just like German people’s character, full of sense, economical but not lacking good looks. Sour pickled vegetables stewed with Frankfort sausages, Tartar beef, and Berlin sour pickled vegetables cooked with pork display a sense of thick wildness while served with authentic German freshly draught dark beer. Delicious food and pleasing wine of German cuisine present different feeling in the beautiful scenery of Sanya. They are the collision between sense and perception, the blending of naturalness and primitiveness, unique but not luxurious and not overdone.
