Fei is a modern, ambitious restaurant with the goal of becoming the spearhead of Chinese cuisine in the Nordics. This is an eye-opener for those who want to enjoy an authentic Chinese dining experience, far beyond the ordinary. To create an authentic Chinese dining experience, a handpicked, chef team from China has been recruited.

Cantonese cuisine is characterized by the celebration of the natural flavor of the ingredients. Here, they like to work with fish and shellfish, and gentle steaming is the main cooking method. In contrast, stands the colorful Sichuan cuisine, known for its intense flavors dominated by chili and Sichuan pepper. Finally in Zhejiang, south of Shanghai, there is a fondness for rice wine which gives the food a deep and sweet-sour character. Here, too, fish is often found as raw material and dumplings in all their forms.

Just as it should be in a Chinese restaurant, there are cold dishes that open the meal and soup to build the bridge over to the hot dishes that are the meal's highlight. Those who wish can also enjoy a set 10-course menu paired with tea, Shaoxing rice wine, and Baijiu - a shortcut straight into China's food and drink culture.

Sichuan cuisine

The food of Sichuan is the most dramatic of all Chinese cuisines. Mountains of dried chilies and mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers produce the flavor mala, numbing and spicy, the dominant features of this cuisine. However, don’t be intimidated, the enchanting complexity of compound flavors will have you sweating for more.

Zhejiang cuisine

Around the Yangtze River delta on China's east coast, a touch of sweetness lifts the mild aromas of the local dishes. The abundance of freshwater sources and ocean coast allows this region to excel in both freshwater fish and seafood. Soy sauce braised dishes and sweet floral flavors enchant the palate like the sparkling lights on the Shanghai skyline.

Cantonese cuisine

This is the food of Hongkong and Guangdong provinces. Here the natural flavor of the ingredient is the hero. Championing the subtle aromas of the best produce is the key to Cantonese cooking's greatness. Cherishing gentle cooking techniques like steaming this cuisine is all about bringing out the essence of the food.
