The most distinctive food on Saipan is Chamorro cuisine, which is low-calorie food.
The specialty of Chamorro cuisine is the use of local raw materials, such as spicy sauces, soy sauce, lemon juice, onions, etc., added to the food. The flavor is a fusion of Spanish, Filipino and Southeast Asian flavors.

Let me take a look at the must-eat food in Saipan. I hope you will like it!
1 Lobster Most of the lobsters in Saipan are imported from California, USA. They can be baked with butter or grilled directly on charcoal fire. They all taste good.
Similar to the crab roe we like, real eaters will not just miss the lobster tail, but will split the head of the lobster and eat the lobster roe, which has a unique flavor.
2 Kelaguen This is also a typical Chamorro dish. Use lemon juice to marinate fresh shrimp or chicken, or carpaccio, then mix with onions, salt, pepper and other seasonings, and finally wrap it in tortillas and eat it.

Maybe you will think it is a bit like Mexican Taco, but the taste of this food is more sour.
3 Apiqiqi This is probably one of the most popular local Chamorro foods, a bit like our rice dumplings.
The sticky rice sticks wrapped in banana leaves have a sweet taste and need to be toasted before eating and eaten hot.
Its portion is generally not large, making it suitable for girls to use as a snack.
The glutinous rice has the fragrance of coconut and the sweetness is just right.
4 Chamorro Shrimp Chamorro salad is mixed with shrimp, lemon, vegetables and other ingredients, plus chopped onions and peppers, seasoned with salt and pepper, and finally placed on lettuce.
The food is simply processed to retain its original taste.
Maybe it would be more delicious with a little more olives.
5 Pizza Although there is only one chef from Italy on the island, both locals and tourists obviously still like Italian-style food.
Pizza is undoubtedly a classic staple food suitable for all kinds of people. Whether you are a vegetarian or a meat lover, you can find a pizza that suits you.
You can eat elegantly at the Hyatt Regency's Italian restaurant, or dine with friends at a place like Capricciosa.
6 Japanese Food Because Saipan receives a large number of Japanese tourists, the Japanese food here is quite tasteful, and there are many restaurants opened by Japanese.
Fresh tuna, delicious sushi, and various sushi rolls are all very popular here, and some large hotels also have dedicated Japanese restaurants.
7. Coconut Although Saipan is a tropical island, there are not many locally produced fruits, generally only bananas and mangoes.
The fruit that can be eaten all year round is coconut. The coconuts in Saipan are quite unique. In addition to allowing people to drink sweet coconut juice, you can also scrape the meat to make coconut sashimi and eat it with mustard and soy sauce.
It tastes like seafood.
8. Spinach pasta is green, and squid ink noodles are black. You can eat pasta of various colors in Saipan. At the Hyatt Hotel, you can also taste pasta cooked on site, and the sauce is divided into
Tomato sauce and cheese flavors.
Moreover, pasta is often paired with fish or grilled chicken. After absorbing the juice of other ingredients, the pasta has a richer taste.
9. Grilled seafood. The most common way to handle seafood in Saipan is to grill it, or skewer it, or cook it separately on charcoal fire. Only pepper and salt are added throughout the process to maintain the original taste of the seafood.
Fresh shrimps, squid and shellfish can all be grilled into delicious platters. How comfortable it would be to sit by the sea and enjoy these seafood.
