Unique & Peaceful Nature Gateway

Traditional shops that make their own noodles from scratch are becoming scarce. Founded in 1946, this household name is among the remaining few. It is famous for its bouncy noodles that impart rich eggy flavour and, although the signature is wonton soup, zhajiang noodles and beef brisket noodle soup are also popular. Try the braised white radish with shrimp roe for the deep umami and briny-sweetness. Expect to share a table when it's busy.

Its à la minute banana roti has been reputed for its crispy skin and tender filling since 2019. The shop reopened in 2024 in this spot, with Nutella, Ovaltine, pork floss with mozzarella and new flavours in the menu. It's always busy, so expect to queue.

Dripping with vintage charm and festive vibes, this long-standing restaurant is decked out in red and gold for a joyful and luxurious feel. On the menu, Cantonese classics and dim sum brush shoulders with walled-village-style dishes, such as five-flavour chicken featuring flavoursome velvety meat. Other specialities include roast duck with bean paste and coriander, steamed mullet with salted lemon and, first and foremost, the steamed sponge cake.

This well-known place is adorned with dragon motifs, the iconic dragon pillar at the door being the centrepiece. Most guests pick their seafood from the nearby wet market for the chefs here to cook up; others choose from the fish tank on site. Servers will suggest various preparation methods. The baked baby lobster with cheese is a must! Also, try their Cantonese barbecue, but be sure to save room for the steamed egg white custard in roasted coconut.

From a tiny countryside joint in 1958, this second-generation family business has grown without losing its flair. It owns the farm that breeds Qingyuan black brown geese, ensuring quality and a steady supply. Chargrilled according to the owner’s family recipe and served after 11:45am, their goose is known for its distinctive smoky aroma, crispy skin and juicy meat. The menu also includes goose offal braised in spiced marinade, seafood and stir fries.

There’s just one item on the menu – double-steamed egg white custard with milk, boasting a silky runny centre under a firmer crust. Order the chilled ones if you’re in a rush, or wait patiently as the hot ones are made to order.
