after some shopping, it was almost pangkang time..this time dinner is special, a guangdong local bring go makan Shunde 顺德 cuisine


some small back story, back in 2018, my alma mater organized some summer camp for China student to come over, and I flew back from JP to go help out my ex-supervisor for a few weeks.
so turn out that most of the chinese students were actually from Guangdong area, so when I visited guangzhou, one of them brought me out makan their famous cuisine


cold appetizer


Shunde "congee"..my friend mentioned it's called differently but i forgot what it was..he said this taste like sick ppl food


roast goose


deep fried pork belly


herbal chicken


vege stir fried with more pork belly


this omelette quite special..inside got Shunde kuew teow, pretty interesting one


Estuary grouper, loong dan, canton steam but very funky flavour..it has whole peppercorn, so it first taste like zingy/tangy, but a spicy aftertaste. sedappp

shunde famous double skin milk pudding 双皮奶
this one authentic version, very hard to make and many outside sell they put kuih lin kao powder inside which make the pudding too solid/bouncy.
the baffalo milk pudding is very soft and sweet. just dig in spoon by spoon and eat, you should never mix the thing because it will turn into liquid


supper hunt for milk tea. too bad, none can compare to taiwanese milk tea


on the way back from fo shan to guangzhou, saw the guangzhou circle building


Day 3
breakfast in nearby noodle joint, wan tan mee and 炸酱面, idk how to translate this


after breakfast, took the subway to Chen clan ancestral hall
not sure why but the day I visited, the entry was free lucky




such detailed wood carving on the doors/windows


courtyard

lobster and crab cage..carved out of a single log. crazy masterpiece!


this shows the stages of carving the inner sections


craftsmen handpainting


more courtyard pics


ivory carving, so beautiful, so illegal








garden inside the compound

went some random clothing market and had mixed rice lunch in the cafeteria.


after jalan2 shopping, went to Bing Sheng 炳胜 for dinner, celebrate anniversary with waifu






some tofu dish, pretty good


the meat tasting platter, deep fried pork, char siew and roast goose


cholesterol is love
look at that, 80% fat 15% crunchy batter, 5% meat


waifu loves to eat petola, can't seem to find in JP but can eat here


siap makan, too much food cannot finish...jalan2 across the pearl river delta to help relieve the overfilled stomach


such beautiful night view

Canton tower RGB RGB






one of the nice thing about chinese city architecture is they utilise a lot of the under bridge space as small parks or community space for the locals


walked from bing sheng all the way to beijing road


too bad, due to the rain, big diff in temperature inside so the entire thing fogged up..can't see the ori beijing road




one of the famous temple in Beijing road, the lighting make it look really nice at night




inner complex of the temple


sekian day 3

How is it compared to SEA food

I feel SEA food machem better than this. Like Thai tomyam soup or

so local still speak cantonese?

Thanks! do check out the first thread too

spicy? Macam spicy sour?

Wew, hopefully it brought back good memories
The night view very nice, pretty clean, river no smell at all, no smog coz many EV, but just 2nd hand smoke damn annoying.
I think I got my annual dose of 2nd hand smoke just in one day

Yea, Beijing road very nice and hipster. My guangzhou friend ask me to skip Shang Xia road and visit Beijing road instead

yeah.

/k is not your blog

Yes, actually initially I was quite surprised. Because I spoke mandarin to them, they replied me in canton I hang for a while because was not expecting it, then I pretty much got used to it.
But in HK, I try speak canton most of the time unless I can't find the word for it then I switch back to mandarin

Kasi chance la

Bro. These kind of threads infinitely more value than ukeke or that jan18 batu api threads.

Yes both…I’m not usually a fish guy but this got me wanting more…tried a few of the same in KL but it’s somehow not the same.
