Ibis styles Guangzhou Panyu Shiqiao

It's a bit out of the way, but the tasty abalone makes the trip here worthwhile. The founder's love affair with the gastropod spans 30+ years. Each one is painstakingly prepared then slow-cooked for 156 hours, resulting in concentrated seafood umami and abalone that, while tender, retains a lovely chewiness. His flavourful abalone sauce goes perfectly with steamed rice. Cantonese stir-fries, such as sautéed winged bean with minced pork, also stand out.
