Accompanying my partner to his hometown,
we visited Guangzhou, Zhongshan and Dongguan in China
As this trip was to visit his friends and family members,
we focused more on food rather than attractions
Let’s have a look at what we had! 😉
陪着我男友回家乡,
我们去了中国的广州,中山和东莞
由于这次旅程主要是为了探望他的亲戚朋友,
比起景点,我们更关注于食物
就来看看我们吃了些什么吧!😉


Date.日期:4 ❤️ 03 ❤️ 2019 - 11❤️ 03 ❤️ 2019

I will just list out the places or food with some descriptions
Apologies if there are some places that I could not name them
because we were brought by friends
and not all the shops have a shop sign
我将会把地方或食物附于解释地并列出来
非常抱歉如果有我没办法列出名字的地方
因为是朋友带我们去的
而且不是每个店面都有招牌

Xintang Wanda Plaza 新塘万达广场

We went to this plaza for dinner
after arriving at Guangzhou
It was a new shopping complex
located in Zengcheng
We had Changsha street food
at Laochangsha Eatery on level 4
and I recommend its bean curd
as well as the sausage
到了广州后
我们去了这个广场吃晚餐
它是个新的购物广场
位于增城区
我们在四楼老长沙吃货铺
吃了长沙小吃
我推荐它的臭豆腐和香肠

广场的外观


The bean curd
Although it looks a bit weird
in black
the taste was pretty good
crispy but juicy
臭豆腐
虽然它看起来黑黑怪怪的
但是味道很不错
又脆又有汁


The sausage
Just by looking at the pictures
already making my mouth watering
香肠
单单看图片
已经让我垂涎三尺

Steamed Rice Noodle Roll 肠粉

It is a type of Cantonese dish
also known as "Cheong Fun"
Different places cook this dish in different ways
It was actually my first time
tasting the one steamed with
egg and minced meat
and seasoned with soy sauce
The common one is usually found
in Dimsum restaurants
either with the fillings of
BBQ pork, shrimps, or beef
I have also tried the one
seasoned with sweet sauce or curry sauce
and may be served with some ingredients
like sausages, fishballs and sesame seeds
However, this type is different
the taste was still good though
and the texture was really smooth
We had it at the shop located near
Dadun Market in Xintang
它是一种广东美食
广东话叫"Cheong Fun"
不同的地方会以不同的方式烹煮
这其实是我第一次
尝试到这种
加了鸡蛋和肉碎一起蒸
然后配酱油的肠粉
一般普遍的都是
在点心店看到的那种
配料有
叉烧,虾仁或牛肉的
我也尝试过那种
甜酱或咖喱酱的
然后可能会有一些配料
好像香肠,鱼圆和芝麻
但是,这种是不一样的
味道还是很好的
而且口感很顺滑
我们是在新塘镇里
大墩市场附近的一家店吃的



How the chef prepares the steamed noodle roll
the shop was pretty busy in the morning
we visited twice during our trip
厨师准备肠粉的过程
这家店在早上的时候挺忙的
我们在这次旅途去了两次

Dadun Market 大敦综合市场

We went to the Dadun Market
with my partner's grandmother
It was cool to see how the Chinese
sell things in the market
The most interesting part was
the payment method
Wechat pay or Alipay was available
at almost every single stall
including the little cart
where an old lady pushed
to sell the homemade pancake
There is no need for cash or credit card
you just need to bring a phone with you
and scan the QR code to make payment
I found this very convenient
at the shopping mall carpark too
because we always need to find a machine or counter
and walk to it to make a parking payment
at other places
but in China,
there are QR code everywhere
on the wall at the carpark
so you can just make a payment next to your car
and head to the exit directly
What really surprised me was that
we were at a suburb area
especially most of the residences
were senior people
and this technology was still available
我们跟着我伴侣的婆婆
去了大墩综合市场
可以看中国人怎么在市场卖东西
对我来说是挺新奇的
最有趣的部分是
付款的方式
几乎在每一个档口
都可以用微信支付或支付宝
包括一个老奶奶
自己推车卖饼的摊位
也都能用这两个付款方式
不需要用到现金或信用卡
你只需要带着手机
然后扫描QR码就能付款
我发现这个对
支付购物中心的停车费来说很方便
因为我们一般在其他地方
都要先找找付款机器或柜台在哪
然后再走向那里付停车费
但是在中国,
QR码在停车场的墙壁
到处都是
所以你可以在车子旁边付款
然后直接到出口去
真正让我吃惊的是
我们当时是在郊区
尤其是当地的居民
大部分都是年长人士
然而在那里依然有这样的科技

How they sell the live seafood
活海鲜是这样卖的

How the market looks like
市场的样子

Charcoal Grill 炭炉烤

We had the food grilled with charcoal
in Zhongshan
There are basically two types
either grilling like normal BBQ
or grilling with a wok
where food has been cooked
The pictures below will let you know
how tasty the food was
我们在中山吃了
炭炉烤的食物
主要有两种
像普通烧烤的或是
用一个炒锅烤
一些已经煮熟的食物
以下的照片会告诉你
那些食物有多好吃



Nice when you can handle spicy
你可以吃辣的话这个真的好吃

The combination of lobster, chicken
and the sauce made a perfect dish
龙虾,鸡肉和那个酱汁的组合
合成了这道完美的佳肴


There were more food we ordered for BBQ
but I thought it was normal
so I did not take more pictures
我们点的烧烤食物还有更多的
但是我认为它蛮普遍的
所以没有拍更多的照片了

We bought some drinks from this milk tea shop
while walking to the charcoal grill restaurant
This picture may help you to find the location?
I was unable to find the restaurant online 😓
but I know there are many different restaurants
selling the same type of food too
Just not too sure if the food is nice or not
我们走去那家炭炉烤餐厅时
途中在这家奶茶店买了一些饮料
这张照片可能可以帮你找到它的实际地点?
我确实没办法在网上找到那家餐厅😓
但是我知道还有很多餐厅
也是卖相同种类的食物
只是不确定好不好吃

Fu Ji Grilled Oyster 富记烤生蚝

If a shop only sells a specific type of food
then you know it specialises in that area
which also means
the food definitely tastes good
otherwise, it can't survive
Obviously from the name
you can tell this shop sells oyster
there are three flavours to choose from
including original, garlic, and spicy garlic
A must try if you visit Zengcheng in Guangzhou
如果一家店只卖一种特定的食物
你就会知道它在那领域是专业的
也代表了
食物肯定很好吃
不然,它是没办法生存的
从它的名字
你可以很清楚地知道这家店卖的是生蚝
共有三种口味可以选
包括原味,蒜味和加辣蒜味
如果你去到广州里的增城是一定要去尝试的




Guang Ji Claypot Rice 光记煲仔饭

This shop allows you to choose
varieties of ingredients for your claypot rice
Double boiling soups are also available there
It is really busy during lunch time
waiting time was more than 30 minutes for us
你可以在这家店
为你的煲仔饭选择各式各样的材料
那里也有卖炖汤
午餐时间是非常忙的
当时我们等待的时间就超过30分钟了






Jiangnan Fishing Village 江南渔村

Another place where I couldn't locate on the map
but at least I got you the name of the shop
It is a seafood restaurant
where you may buy fresh live seafood
and get for the chef to cook for you
另一个我没办法在地图上找到的地方
但至少我把店名给了你
它是家海鲜餐厅
可以买了新鲜活海鲜
再让厨师为你烹煮








Food was so much that
we could not put all on the table in one go
食物多到我们根本没办法
一次过把全部都放在桌上

This is just the price for the chef to cook
excluding the price of the seafood
这只是厨师煮的费用
不包括海鲜的价格






The first time we had BBQ pork with sugar
it was surprisingly delicious
and the pork was cut into thin slices
which improves the mouthfeel
这是我们第一次配着糖吃叉烧烧肉
还真是意外的好吃
而且肉片都被切得薄薄的
让口感变得更好了





Tianhe Fashion 时尚天河

It is a shopping area in Guangzhou CBD
we went there by subway from Xintang
The route was:
Xintang➠🚇Lane 13➠Yuzhu
Yuzhu➠🚇Lane 5➠Yangji
Yangji➠🚇Lane 1➠Tiyu Xilu
It was a long way
but the subway comes frequently
in about every 5 minutes
Of course
when you are closer to the city area
the subway will be more packed
它是一个在广州市中心的购物区
我们是从新塘搭地铁过去的
路线是:
新塘➠🚇13号线➠鱼珠
鱼珠➠🚇5号线➠杨箕
杨箕➠🚇1号线➠体育西路
路途很长
但是地铁来得很频繁
大约每5分钟一趟
当然
当你越靠近城市地区的时候
地铁就会越拥挤
