Taking advantage of the opportunity to stay at Xiangyunsha Garden Hotel, I had dinner at Xiangyunxuan on the fourth floor. This restaurant, which is very popular among Shunde locals, really brought me many surprises.
Environment
First of all, the nostalgic Lingnan style decoration style makes people indulge in this retro environment. Just when I thought I came here just to eat and enjoy the environment, I was amazed by the dishes that followed.
Shunde Yusheng (One fish, four foods)
When you come to Shunde, Yusheng is a must-eat. Under the skillful hands of the chef, a single catfish can be transformed into four famous dishes: the fish skin is boiled, the white meat is used to make raw fish, the red meat is used to make raw porridge, and the fish bone belly is fried and baked. There are both light ways of eating and rich cooking methods, so you can enjoy four flavors with one fish. By the way, every fish here is a sea turtle with an identity mark, which makes people feel more confident when eating.
Black garlic and hibiscus soup
Black garlic is a popular ingredient recently, but it tastes domineering. If you are not a very experienced chef, you will not dare to use it with new ingredients easily. This black garlic hibiscus soup is an exclusive dish here. There is a layer of "hibiscus" that looks like tofu pudding floating on the soup noodles. It is actually a protein stewed with lean meat by the skillful chef. It is tender and smooth in the mouth. Tofu curd, but with the aroma of gravy, combined with the taste of black garlic, I was shocked when I tasted such a unique taste for the first time.
Roast goose in open oven
Roast goose is one of the representatives of Cantonese cuisine. It can be found in star hotels and wet markets. But if I could only recommend one place to eat roast goose in Shunde, I would recommend this place without hesitation. It's not because the roast goose here is rated as "Foshan's famous Cantonese dish". Just look at the roast goose skin, which is as flat as roasted suckling pig skin, and you can imagine how crispy it is. The skin of the roasted goose is translucent, and the greasy feeling of the subcutaneous fat makes the goose skin thin and a little crispy. There is no excess soup in the roast goose, and the flavor is all in the skin and meat... Ever since I tried the roast goose here, there are only two categories of roast goose in my mind: Xiangyunxuan's roast goose and other roast goose. Is it that exaggerated? You’ll know after you try it!
Daliang Fried Milk Golden Thread Balls
I believe that every friend who comes to Shunde wants to try Fried Milk This famous Shunde dish uses soft frying to gradually solidify the protein in the buffalo milk and turn it into a smooth egg. But it is more tender and smooth than fried eggs, and has a unique milky aroma. It is paired with various seasonings such as shrimps, nuts, cured meatballs, etc., which makes the taste and flavor levels richer.
Nowadays, when ordering stir-fried milk, it is usually accompanied by a snack. This time I chose Xiangyunxuan’s special golden silk ball, which is a fried bead of buffalo milk wrapped in tofu silk and deep-fried. Take a bite and it will burst. The pulp will fill your mouth through the crispy skin.
Baked osmanthus with scallion oil
People in Shunde have always been very knowledgeable about eating fish. In addition to the traditional steamed and raw fish, baked with scallion oil is Xiangyunxuan's specialty. The sweet-scented mandarin fish is cut into fillets after carefully removing the bones and fine spines. After the oil is removed, the skin is crispy on the outside and the meat is still tender and smooth on the inside. Then it is drizzled with onion oil sauce to properly moisturize the fish fillets and allow them to be fully absorbed. The aroma of scallion sauce. If you come to Xiangyunxuan to eat, I highly recommend ordering this dish. It is not commonly seen in other restaurants.
Baked Roche Shrimp with Perilla
Baked Roche Shrimp with Perilla . The flavor of the Roche Shrimp is sublimated, the shell is crispy and fragrant, and even the shrimp meat is permeated with the unique fragrance of perilla.
Charcoal-grilled beef ribs
Beef ribs are first stewed until soft, then grilled with charcoal until the surface is crispy, and served with the special black pepper sauce. Not only is it very delicious, the meat is also very tender.
Pan-fried Guiling paste
I never thought that Guiling paste can also be used for frying. The black appearance is not photogenic, but when dipped in the unique Osmanthus sauce , the taste is quite unique, and it is also a must-have as a staple food.
