Authentic Chinese cuisine in new city restaurant
Chinese food has become very popular in Christchurch and an increasing number of restaurants are offering these dishes. The Pearl Ocean restaurant, recently opened at 602 Colombo Street, aims to serve Chinese cuisine which is authentic. It is staffed by Chinese chefs and its manager, Mr Wing Gin, has had many years experience serving Chinese food in Christchurch. Mr Gin came to New Zealand when he was four and grew up here. He says that he has an appreciation of what diners require and he sees his new restaurant as a challenge. “People want to go out and eat quality food without breaking the bank,” he says. The Pearl Ocean is a 8.Y.0. restaurant and caters specially for larger groups as well as families and individuals. “I make everything as authentic as I can and use a variety of products which are imported from China,” Mr Gin says. Imported foodstuffs include Chinese mushrooms, herbs and spices, frozen crab meat and the necessities to make shark fin soup. Different types of noodles are also imported to supplement the plainer noodles available in Christchurch.
