Chen Tianji Fish Skin
Although hidden in a deep alley, the saying 'good wine needs no bush' holds true. The long queue at Chen Tianji stretches from the innermost part of the alley to the main street. We ordered the ancestral crispy fish skin, made from dace fish skin, which is frozen after preparation. It is fresh, crispy, and chewy, and with the addition of the unique secret sauce, it tastes very delicious and refreshing!
Baohua Noodle Shop
Signature Fresh Shrimp Wonton Noodles, the soup is very delicious, the wonton filling is abundant, and each wonton contains a large shrimp. The noodles are very thin and bouncy.

Yin Ji Chang Fen Dian
Signature Chang Fen, the ingredients are abundant, with large shrimp and delicate rice noodles. Soft but not mushy, chewy and resilient.
Chao Ji Claypot Rice
Guangzhou has many small shops selling claypot rice, usually located by the roadside. A row of stoves is filled with steaming claypots. The claypot rice chef, wearing thick heat-resistant gloves, patrols back and forth, checking the heat. When the time is right, they either uncover the pot to add ingredients or take the fully cooked pot off the stove. This forms a unique street scene. The black bean sauce pork ribs claypot rice, preserved meat claypot rice, mushroom and tender chicken claypot rice, and black bean sauce beef claypot rice all have a very homely taste.
