Dishes

Dongguan Olive Kernel SpareribsDongguan Olive Kernel Spareribs is a traditional Cantonese dish originating from Dongguan, Guangdong. The main ingredients are pork spareribs and preserved black olive kernels (lanjiao). The ribs are cut into sections, blanched, and marinated with basic seasonings like light soy sauce, sugar, and cooking wine. The marinated ribs are then stewed together with the rinsed olive kernels in a pot with a moderate amount of water over medium-low heat until the ribs become tender and the sauce thickens. The savory and unique flavor of the olive kernels fully infuses the ribs, giving the dish its distinctive local character. The finished dish has a reddish-brown color, with tender, flavorful ribs and rich olive kernel taste.
Daling Mountain Lychee Oolong TeaThis beverage is made primarily with high-quality fresh lychees from Guangdong's Daling Mountain and oolong tea. During preparation, fresh lychee pulp is crushed to extract its juice, which is then blended with cold-brewed or warm-brewed oolong tea. Some recipes may include a small amount of rock sugar or honey to adjust sweetness, and it can be garnished with whole pitted lychee fruit. The final product has a light amber color with a natural blend of tea and fruit aromas.
Water Town Banana CrispWater Town Banana Crisp is a dessert primarily made with bananas. Ripe bananas are peeled and cut into segments or mashed. The outer layer is typically coated with a batter made from flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs (or crispy batter), then deep-fried at high temperature until golden and crispy. The finished product features a crispy exterior with soft, sweet banana inside. It is sometimes served with a light dusting of powdered sugar or condensed milk to enhance flavor. The preparation is simple, highlighting the natural sweetness of bananas and a crispy texture.
Shilong Colorful Mixed ChickenShilong Colorful Mixed Chicken is a signature cold dish originating from the Shilong area of Guangdong. The main ingredient is tender poached chicken, hand-shredded into strips. It is typically served with seven colorful side ingredients, such as shredded carrot, cucumber, purple cabbage, jellyfish, fried peanuts, cilantro, and sesame seeds. The dish is assembled by arranging the chicken and colorful sides on a plate, then dressed with a sauce made from light soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, sugar, and a touch of vinegar just before serving and mixing. It offers a rich texture with tender chicken and crisp accompaniments.
Shilong Pomelo Peel BreadShilong pomelo peel bread is made by pickling fresh pomelo rind, then mixing it with flour and yeast to bake a fragrant, slightly sweet and tangy loaf.
