I will introduce to you all where I usually will go to eat when returning back to hometown in Hainan, though I’m not from Haikou and from Wanning but Haikou is a place not to missed out because of the food.
Basically from young to old people, Hainanese can’t leave the food called “炸炸” (direct translate is “fried-fried) actually is similar to Loklok, but different thing from loklok is they will remove the skewers for you and drizzle the food with their special sauce. (Every shop will has its own specialty sauce).
So my top 1 to intro for zha zha will be
1) 一件意想不到的事
海霞街與海紅路交叉口
Other than zha zha, there’s also dessert places with chill vibes.
1)A-Z cafe @ 上邦百汇城

Comfort Bowl of Malatang- Bukit Timah Plaza
Gonna intro this place to everyone who will like to try malatang which taste as good but not from huge malatang chains call Hao Hao Malatang. This humble small shop is located at basement 1 at Bukit Timah Plaza. Offers varieties of ingredients to choose from, malatang base is pork bone soup boiled for around 2 hours. Will recommend mala and pork bone soup. One good thing about here is if you dislike the fatty meat where usual malatang always serve, there’s a choice of lean meat. Other than malatang they also serve xiaolongbao and dumplings. Sometimes mala can be oily but not the case in here because their soup is too flavourful which I even finished their mala soup
Soup base varieties:
Pork Bone soup (Signature), Mala, Sour Spicy, Mushroom, Tomato and Pickled Vegetable
$2.99/100g which is affordable too !
