• Guangzhou - Coconut Chicken Soup: Begin the evening like a local with a unique soup reputed for its medicinal benefits. Ingredients are seasonally selected and cooked in a specific sequence over 4 hours.

Rice Noodle Rolls: Visit a shop that uses traditional woven bamboo mats to create delicate rolls filled with meat and topped with seasoned soy sauce. This establishment is a long-standing favorite in the community.

Wonton Noodles: These exceptional noodles are crafted from duck eggs and flour, then kneaded and pressed using a rare bamboo pole method. The result is an impressively thin noodle with a thick, chewy texture, perfectly complemented by a light broth and shrimp wontons.

Cantonese Imperial Cuisine: As river inhabitants, we cherish fish. Enjoy a selection of sashimi prepared using a traditional Cantonese technique, served with dishes carefully selected to enhance the fish’s flavor and texture while maintaining balance.

• Guangzhou - Dessert: Savor a classic dessert made with just two ingredients, and witness how science transforms them into a rich, refreshing custard!

Local Craft Beer: Conclude the evening with a locally brewed beer, thoughtfully chosen by the barkeeper, featuring seasonal herbs and ingredients. The brewery is conveniently located near Changgang Subway Station.
