1 Lobster
Most lobsters in Saipan are imported from California, USA. They can be baked with cream or directly on charcoal fire, and they all taste good. Similar to our favorite crab roe, the real eater will not just miss the lobster tail, but will break the lobster head and eat the lobster yellow, which will have a unique flavor.
2 Kelaguen
This is also a typical Chamorro dish. Fresh shrimp or chicken can be marinated with lemon juice, or raw beef slices, then seasoned with onion, salt and pepper, and finally wrapped in tortillas. Maybe you think it's a bit like Taco in Mexico, but this food tastes more sour.
3 Apiqiqi
This is probably one of the most popular Chamorro foods in the local area, a bit like our zongzi. The sticky rice strips wrapped in banana leaves taste sweet, so they need to be roasted when eating, and eaten while it is hot. Its weight is generally small, which is very suitable for girls to use as snacks. The glutinous rice has the fragrance of coconut and the sweetness is just right.
4 Chamorro shrimp
Chamorro salad is made by mixing shrimp with lemon, vegetables and other ingredients, adding chopped onion and pepper, seasoning with salt and pepper, and finally putting it on lettuce. After simple treatment, food can retain its original taste. It might be more delicious if you add some olives.
5 Pizza
Although there is only one chef from Italy on the island, it is obvious that both locals and tourists still like Italian food. Pizza is undoubtedly a classic staple food suitable for all kinds of people. No matter you are a vegetarian or a meat lover, you can find your own pizza. You can eat slowly and gracefully in the Italian restaurant of Hyatt Hotel, or you can have a big meal with friends in a place like Capricciosa.
6 Japanese cuisine
Because Saipan receives a large number of Japanese tourists, Japanese cuisine here is quite tasteful, and many restaurants are opened by Japanese. Fresh tuna, delicious sushi and all kinds of sushi rolls are very popular here, and some big hotels also have special Japanese restaurants.
7 coconuts
Although Saipan is a tropical island, there are not many fruits in this area, generally only bananas and mangoes. Coconut is the fruit that can be eaten all year round. Coconut in Saipan is quite distinctive. Apart from drinking sweet coconut juice, you can also scrape the meat to make coconut sashimi and dip it in mustard and soy sauce, which is quite seafood.
8 spaghetti
Spinach noodles are green, and cuttlefish noodles are black. You can eat spaghetti in various colors in Saipan. At Hyatt Hotel, you can also taste spaghetti cooked on the spot. The sauce is divided into tomato juice and cheese. Moreover, spaghetti often appears with fish or roast chicken. After absorbing the juice of other ingredients, the taste of spaghetti is richer.
9 Barbecue seafood
The most common way to treat seafood in Saipan is barbecue, or skewering, or cooking directly on charcoal fire separately. Only pepper and salt are added in the whole process, in order to keep the original taste of seafood. Fresh shrimp, squid and shellfish can all be baked into delicious platters, so how comfortable it is to sit by the sea and taste these seafood.
