- Sea World in Shenzhen truly comes alive at night. The vibrant views were spectacular, and the steamed clams I ate were equally breathtaking. The sea grapes burst with sweetness, complementing the coriander and garlic in the rich sake-based sauce, which enhanced the clams’ flavor. The beer was also unbelievably good! Why did I devour it all so passionately? It must be because the chef put their heart into it.

- Sea Grapes with Drunken Clams is a popular dish in southern China and Taiwan, characterized by the popping texture of sea grapes known as umibudo. These sea grapes are a type of seaweed, famously available in Okinawa, Japan, but also widely used in regions of China known for their fresh seafood. The clams, known as huajia, are primarily a type of white clam, and the drunken style is a traditional Chinese cooking method that enhances the clams' umami. The dish becomes even more flavorful when enjoyed with a sauce rich in aromatic cilantro and punchy garlic. This dish pairs exceptionally well with beer, making it an ideal snack with drinks. As a humorous twist, the author of this blog was inspired by the chefs' dedication, thinking "I have to get serious!" only to realize that it was mainly their stomach that took the dish seriously.
