Even in the Mediterranean, a region certainly famous for its own good food and good living, Chinese cuisine has made extraordinary inroads. A growing number of Chinese restaurants have been opening up in Malta and Gozo, giving local and visiting gourmets the opportunity to savour the richness and amazing variety of China’s many regional cuisines.
Whether you are a fan of duck and pancakes, steamed dumplings, seaweed or wontons, Malta’s Chinese restaurants serve it all. And much, much more. In terms of price, eating Chinese in Malta is pretty much the same as eating at any other type of restaurant – there are expensive venues and there are some who cater for the more shallow pocket. Their popularity, however, means they are found all over the island in places like St Julian’s, Valletta, Marsa, Bugibba, Marsacala as well as in Gozo.
If you are feeling slightly less adventurous or if you are self-catering maybe, a good number of Malta’s Chinese eateries also provide take-away and delivery services. For a really surreal experience why not pick up some spring rolls, rice and black bean chicken, grab a couple of chopsticks and tuck in on the beach as the sun sets. It might not be traditional, but it has to be one of the nicest fusions of oriental food and Mediterranean environments around!
The Pavillion Palace. One of Malta’s most popular Chinese restaurants is conveniently located in the very central area of St Andrews with lots of parking. The Pavillion Palace serves up plenty of mouth-watering dishes and also offers a take-away and delivery service. You can obtain more information by calling (+356) 2137 0403.
