Description

Savor the flavors of Cantonese cuisine on a guided food tour in Guangzhou. Enjoy a variety of dishes at 5+ sit-down, safe-to-eat restaurants and street stalls.
Embark on a culinary adventure in Guangzhou, the city formerly known as Canton. Explore a local residential area rarely visited by tourists and eat where the locals eat, at small, family-run restaurants. Try the best local food at places you can’t find on your own.

Meet your guide at the 2nd Worker’s Cultural Palace Subway Station. Start your tour with a bowl of coconut chicken soup, a local favorite believed to have strong medicinal properties.

Continue to a shop that uses traditional woven bamboo mats to prepare delicate rice noodle rolls filled with meat and topped with seasoned soy sauce. Visit a spot that has been a long-time staple in the local community.

Next, try wonton noodles made from duck eggs and flour, then kneaded and pressed with a rare method using bamboo poles. The result is an impressively thin noodle with a thick chewy texture, perfectly accentuated by a light broth and shrimp wontons.

As river dwellers, the locals love fish. Enjoy a spread of sashimi prepared using a traditional Cantonese method, served alongside dishes carefully chosen to highlight the fish’s flavor and texture while balancing the body.

Try a classic dessert that uses only two ingredients, and discover how science magically transforms them into a rich custard that is delightfully refreshing. End the night with a locally crafted beer, carefully selected by the barkeeper, with seasonal herbs and ingredients.
