Hidden within the Sheraton Haitang Bay Resort, this Chinese culinary gem never disappoints

If you're visiting the Sheraton Sanya Haitang Bay Resort, you absolutely can't miss the Cai Yue Xuan Chinese Restaurant inside the hotel! Tucked away within the resort, it's just a leisurely stroll away. The Chinese-style decor accented with flamingo elements creates a delightful ambiance. Warm lighting instantly relaxes you as you enter, and with numerous private rooms available, it's perfect for both casual gatherings and formal banquets. The service is excellent too, with red wine properly chilled in ice buckets. Enjoying delicious food with a glass of wine is simply perfection. As a regular patron, I've tried almost all their signature dishes. The menu primarily features Qiong and Cantonese cuisine, with consistently great flavors. They also collaborate to offer trending regional dishes, like the currently popular Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan specialties, which you can savor here too. The array of stir-fried dishes transports your taste buds straight to Southwest China. ✔️ The fried tofu balls paired with Guizhou-style fish mint root create an unexpectedly delightful fusion. The flavorful sauce reduces the pungency of the fish mint, making it pleasantly mild. Even our neighboring table of Yunnan locals couldn't stop praising this dish! ✔️ The dual-style Wenchang chicken—half crispy skin, half poached— features crackling mahogany-colored skin with juicy, tender meat. The poached version is firm yet succulent, especially delicious with dipping sauce. One bite releases an explosion of flavors—truly their signature dish. ✔️ The abalone braised pork belly is an ultimate rice companion. The pork belly becomes incredibly tender through slow cooking, fatty yet not greasy, with perfectly balanced sweet-savory sauce that makes both abalone and pork irresistibly delicious over rice. 📍 Venue: Cai Yue Xuan Chinese Restaurant, Sheraton Sanya Haitang Bay Resort
