Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Chinese food | No.1 Chinese food in the eyes of Brazili
🏠 Restaurante Chi Fu 🗺️ Praça Carlos Gomes, 200 - Liberdade, São Paulo - SP, 01501-040 🥢 A Hidden Chinese Gem Recommended by Locals This spot comes highly recommended by my Brazilian colleagues! 🇧🇷 Tucked next to the Viva supermarket, it’s a breeze to park (though there’s a fee 🅿️). Specializing in Cantonese cuisine, it’s all about huge portions and wallet - friendly prices. My Brazilian friends are obsessed, and while I agree it’s a steal, it’s more about comfort food than fine dining. 🍚 🍜 What to Order (Especially for Brazilian Friends) Yakisoba (Stir - Fried Noodles): Don’t expect traditional Chinese flavors—this version is tweaked for Brazilian taste buds, but it’s a crowd - pleaser! 🍝 Sweet and Sour Pork: A classic! Brazilians love the tangy - sweet sauce. It’s basically a flavor explosion in your mouth 🍯🍖. Roast Duck: A must - try, but make sure to heat it up for that crispy - skin goodness! 🦆 Fried Milk: Word on the street is it’s incredible. I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s on my list! 🥛 Seafood lovers, rejoice! They serve up dishes like stir - fried crab that’ll make your taste buds dance 🦀💃. 🏮 Ambiance: A Mix of Cozy and... Quirky? The decor is straight out of a Chinese county - town hotel 🛕—think ornate paintings that Brazilians adore, but... the cleanliness could use some work. Imagine eating your meal while a cleaner mops the floor right next to you 🧹😅. It’s a bit of a mood - killer, but considering the prices, it’s almost forgivable. 💰 Unbeatable Value for Your Money Portions here are humongous! Four of us shared three dishes (with tea) and only paid 52 R$ each. For that amount of food? It’s a steal in São Paulo’s dining scene 💰. Whether you’re craving authentic (ish) Chinese food, want to treat your Brazilian friends to new flavors, or just need a filling meal on a budget, Restaurante Chi Fu’s got you covered. Just don’t expect a five - star ambiance! 🌟 #GlobalFoodie #ExpatLife #ChineseRestaurant #SaoPauloEats
