West Coast Thyme, a themed tea restaurant, is a must-visit.

It’s not easy to eat authentic Southeast Asian food or even Cantonese snacks in Dalian, but it’s not guaranteed. If you go to West Bank Thyme on the third floor of Yicai City in Malan Square and try it, you will know what real Southeast Asian food is.

Not to mention Nyonya braised pork, sour lemon pot fish, satay chicken, and fish fillet tofu. Have you ever tasted Moonlight over the Lotus Pond?

Have you ever eaten smelly Xiangtou?

Have you ever eaten spinach Gemini?

Taste is the hard agent.

For those people who always think of themselves as foodies, whether you use chopsticks or forks can always tell you a clear story. Dipping in chili sauce or vinegar or fish sauce can always tell you about Li Hongzhang from Huainanzi.

However, in West Coast Thyme, in front of delicious food, experience and theory suddenly seem so pale. In addition to believing that your wallet is still in your butt pocket, you really have to wonder if you are recording "Dalian on the Bite of the Tongue" live, huh

?

To be honest, although Dalian faces the sea, it is a relatively conservative place in many aspects.

For example, when it comes to food, besides Dalian’s old restaurant and Dalian Seafood Restaurant, how many Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong, Cantonese, Hakka and Chaozhou dishes can you see on the streets?

Yes, but very few. On the one hand, Dalian people are more loyal and traditional when it comes to food. On the other hand, it can only be said that they are xenophobic.

In any case, in Dalian, it is a blessing for foodies to have such a delicious, sophisticated and affordable tea restaurant.
