Guangzhou Delicacies, Local Guangzhou Food list! – 广州老字号美食

As soon I have returned to Malaysia, got home and took a hot bath, with a cup of milk tea, here I am finishing off the remaining laozihao – Guangzhou delicacies from part 1. Hopefully, I did not keep you waited for too long for the rest of the best Guangzhou delicacies! On another note, as I was hunting for local Guangzhou delicacies, I was conned into one of the shops that had the name laozihao used in their restaurant name but were not a laozihao. During my trip there, I had a thrilling experience wandering off the back alley on some unseen part of Guangzhou (check out the hidden alleys at the bottom of this post!). Long story short, read on for the remaining Guangzhou delicacies! (Also check out the best Guangzhou restaurant list here)

7. Yin Ji Chang Fen Dian 银记肠粉店 – Steamed roll rice noodle

Probably the best-steamed roll rice noodle in Guangzhou since 1958. With plenty of outlets all around Guangzhou, you could easily find them anywhere in town. Their overall roll rice noodle is a good balance for the fillings, flavor, and steamed rice skin is smooth as well.

8. Shun Ji Bing Shi 顺记冰室 – Dessert House

Guangzhou ice cream

Believes to be the only laozihao dessert house that served ice cream. They begin their business in the 1980s, serving only coconut and mango flavored ice cream, and never do they provide take away options.

Today they have expanded their menu to serve some hot dishes as well

Shun Ji Signature Tri-Combo

I had their signature mix. Unfortunately, mango flavor was out of stock, so I had the mango flavor replaced with pineapple flavor alongside coconut and durian flavor. I was surprised that the ice cream is incredibly smooth in texture, hinting that the fats used were of high quality. Coconut flavor is good and rich and the durian was not bad. However, the pineapple flavor tastes like pineapple extract. Definitely worth the try for Chinese ice cream!

I’ve got to know about this wanton noodle restaurant from the uncle back at Jian Ji Mian Dian. Bao Hua Mian Dian is exceptionally well known for their wanton noodles and has been in business for a period of time.

Mushroom Wanton Noodle

I had a mushroom wanton noodles which were pretty good, the soup was flavorful and rich, each bite of the wanton gives a nice aroma from the mushroom and the noodle is needlessly to say al dente.

10. Lao Xi Guan Lai Fen 老西关濑粉 – Noodle House

guangzhou laozihao lai fen

With only about 30sq meter they serve handmade noodles, hanging pictures of old Guangzhou on the wall of the upper seating area. A relatively humble restaurant that serves an authentic Chinese Guangzhou dish.

Lai Fen in Thick gravy

Served in thick gravy, with the option of garnishing your own bowl of noodle with pickled mustard leaf, pickled spicy vegetables and coriander, and spring onion. The gravy was a little too starchy and salty for my personal preference.

11. Wu Zhan Ji Zhou Pin Zhuan Jia 伍湛记粥品专家 – Porridge House

guangzhou famous porridge

For more than 40 years of history in the business, this restaurant has been passed down for a few generations. Porridge has been their signature dish since their first day of operations.

Wu Zhan Ji Signature Porridge

I ordered their signature porridge – mixed based porridge, without knowing what the fillings are. Pig’s intestine, kidney, and all the organ stuff is not my kind of thing. However, the smoothness of the porridge is exceptional and very well seasoned.

12. Bai Hua Dessert Store 百花甜品店

Been in business since 1986, serving a variety of Chinese desserts. When I was there, noticing the differing dialect I believe the Chinese patrons are from all over China.

The crowd was good from the time I queue up to purchase until I left the place

Any sort of Chinese dessert you desire, they have it here!

Underneath those cover all filled with different types of desserts!

I had red bean barley with sweet potatoes. Overall was a little too sweet to my personal preference but each ingredient was well prepared. I saw many ordered the papaya dessert. Perhaps I should have tried that.

They have been serving the industry for more than a century with their famous Tai Ye Ji, literally translated as grandpa chicken – Chinese braised chicken. During their break time, customers come here to buy their signature chicken as take away and the queue, though short but never stopped.

Soy-based flavor with a complex aromatic of herbs and spices, the meat was nicely braised, smooth and succulent meat hinted that the cooking temperature was well controlled. Needless to say, more, be sure to visit them when you are around Beijing Road Pedestrian Shopping Streets!
