Itinerary
-
Coconut Herbal-Chicken Soup Start the evening the local way with a special soup believed to have strong medicinal properties. Ingredients are chosen seasonally and cooked in a precise order over 4 hours – just like it has for generations.
-
Rice Noodle Rolls In the birthplace of dim sum, this is our favorite! Visit a shop that uses traditional woven bamboo mats to prepare delicate noodle rolls filled with meat and topped with seasoned soy sauce. This spot is a long-time staple in the local community.
-
Wonton Noodles These rare noodles are made from duck eggs and flour (without a drop of water), then kneaded and pressed using bamboo poles. The result? An impressively thin noodle with a thick chewy texture, perfectly accentuated by a light broth and shrimp wontons.
-
Try a selection of classic Cantonese dishes that highlight our most-used ingredients and cooking methods, such as sand ginger squid, fish cakes with chive, taro and pork belly in miso sauce, stuffed okra, and freshwater eel.
-
Dessert End the night with a classic dessert that uses only two ingredients, and discover how science magically transforms them into a rich custard that is delightfully refreshing! This stop is located near to Changgang Subway Station.
