Chef DaDong said: “This cozy, hospitable island is a beautiful location to showcase my contemporary Chinese cuisine to discerning international diners. JA Manafaru shares my passion for pursuing the ultimate in fine dining and beverage, and I was inspired by my field trip discovering the abundance of wonderful local ingredients, especially seafood fresh from the Indian Ocean such as lobster and tuna.

For a chef, this paradise of fresh seafood and ingredients opens exciting new possibilities to craft and create exceptional Chinese cuisine.”
