About Mao Jia Cai

When standard resort fare wears thin, Mao Jia Cai delivers unapologetic Hunan heat in Nusa Dua. Bold chili spice, generous platters, and legit wok hei define the sprawling menu. Wok-fired cabbage tossed with tender pork belly crackles with high-heat char, while whole live fish, mantis shrimp, and lobster swim in on-site tanks ready for the kitchen. Up top, private dining rooms set up with karaoke host noisy family groups late into the evening. Orders arrive hot, spicy, and built for sharing over mounds of white rice.

  • Wok-Fired Hunan Heat: Spicy, high-heat specialties like dry-pot cabbage with pork belly deliver deep wok char and generous portions.
  • Live Seafood Tanks: On-site tanks hold live fish, lobster, and mantis shrimp prepared fresh to order.
  • Private Karaoke Rooms: Private dining rooms feature dedicated karaoke setups tailored for relaxed group gatherings.

  • Kangkuo Kol (干锅包菜)

    Yang paling bikin terkesan jelas Kangkuo Kol. Isiannya ada sauteed pork belly yang empuk dengan lapisan lemak yang lumer, dipadukan dengan kol yang masih crunchy dan dimasak dengan api besar, jadi muncul aroma smoky khas wok hei.

    Teja Purnama

  • Ayam Asam Manis

    Untuk Ayam Asam Manis, rasanya juga enak. Yang unik, lapisan tepungnya tipis sehingga memang tidak dibuat super crispy seperti kebanyakan restoran. Justru itu yang saya suka karena ayamnya tetap terasa dominan. Dagingnya juicy, sementara saus asam manisnya seimbang, ada rasa manis, asam yang segar, dan sedikit gurih, jadi tidak bikin enek.

  • 红烧水鱼 (Braised Softshell Turtle)

    在巴厘岛吃的最好的一餐，推荐红烧水鱼，濑尿虾。

  • 干煸豆角 (Stir-Fried Green Beans)
