Small Group Guangzhou Evening Food Tour

What your day looks like

As China’s first foreign port, the city formerly known as Canton has woven a unique culinary fabric using ingredients and influences from around the globe. Come discover the dishes that only locals know about on this walking tour that makes 5+ stops through a rarely visited residential neighborhood where Canton’s upper class called home for centuries. Explore a Local Neighborhood: Enjoy unlimited local beer, water, and soft drinks while exploring Guangzhou’s backstreets by foot to discover all of our favorite spots for the best local food. Coconut 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. Cantonese Imperial Dishes: 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!
