Minxin Old Shop
The signature double-skin milk is a must-try. Also, try the highly-rated salted stewed milk and fried milk. Finally, order a savory taro cake to balance the sweetness. The hot double-skin milk is slightly sweet, while the salted stewed milk, with its mild saltiness, balances the overly sweet taste perfectly, offering a rich and creamy flavor. Minxin Old Shop is located on Huagai Road Pedestrian Street, a typical Lingnan arcade. Walking under the arcade in the scorching summer provides a lot of coolness.
Shabao Brothers
The 'Three Preserved Meats' refer to preserved pork, preserved sausage, and preserved duck. These preserved flavors are undoubtedly the perfect match for claypot rice, emitting a slightly alcoholic aroma. The fats seep in, enveloping each distinct grain of rice. Stir the egg and tender beef together, then continue to mix with the preserved meats and rice crust, separating the slightly browned grains from the bottom of the pot.
Xingtan Fair and Just
This restaurant specializes in beef congee, with half a pound of beef served with a congee base and an egg. They also offer dishes like mixed pork offal, fish slices, and other hot pot ingredients, as well as sizzling stir-fries. We ordered 1 pound of beef, a serving of stir-fried lettuce, a sizzling squid, stir-fried clams, and beef brisket with rice noodles. The portions are very generous, served on extra-large plates.
Shunde Renjia Restaurant
A top-ranked Cantonese dim sum restaurant online, offering a variety of dishes such as shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce, XO sauce rice rolls, green tea red bean pancakes, Lunjiao cake, rice noodle rolls, and milk congee. Each dish is highly praised.
Wumi Congee
Wumi means 'without rice'. Although there is rice, it is not visible; only the essence of the rice is used, which is the essence of Wumi Congee. In the smooth and silky congee base, shellfish are added first to enhance the freshness, followed by fish, then tender beef according to personal preference, and finally vegetables. The congee is simmered to perfection, resulting in a bowl of nutritious and delicious congee that warms the heart.
Huan Ji Milk
Huan Ji only sells three items - double-skin milk, milk pudding, and milk. When we arrived at the store, the queue numbers were already gone. The owner said we had to wait until all the orders were fulfilled to see if there were any leftovers. With the persistence of a foodie, we patiently waited in the store, watching bowl after bowl of double-skin milk pass by, making our throats constantly gulp.
Liao Neng Guan
"Signature Roast Goose" is a must-try. The quantity is limited, so you have to come early to get it. It is said to be even better than the famous Da Tou Hua Roast Goose that appeared on TV (Da Tou Hua is actually nearby, but according to reviews, it is overpriced and not worth it, so it's better to pass). The roast goose has crispy and fragrant skin, and the slight "crunch" sound when you bite into it indicates its crispiness. The meat under the skin is juicy and has a rich texture. The flavorful marinade inside the roast goose is not only perfect for the goose itself but also makes an excellent accompaniment to rice.
Hui Ge's Private Kitchen
The restaurant's signature dishes are sauna chicken and sauna fish. The marinated chicken is evenly cut, with each piece having chicken skin. It is paired with shredded head vegetables, ginger, mushrooms, red dates, and more. Once steamed and the lid is opened, the aroma is overwhelming, making one's mouth water. The chicken is flavorful, juicy, and extremely tender, with an indescribable soft texture and a sweet aftertaste. It is truly wonderful, a taste never experienced before. The chicken soup under the steaming plate contains chicken bones, corn, carrots, and winter melon, absorbing the essence dripped from the steaming chicken above, making the broth sweet and delicious.
