佛山新凯广场万豪万枫酒店

Besides river views and stunning murals, Hongtu Hall is prized for its exquisitely crafted dim sum ranging from the classics to novel creations, as well as velvety congee and juicy roast meats. Make sure to try their shrimp dumplings and shrimp shaomai. Tableside tea service is also a nice touch. The restaurant is always busy during opening hours and reservations are accepted for guests staying in the hotel only. Other customers have to simply join the queue.

The rows of stoneware pots on charcoal stoves not only look spectacular, but their contents also smell heavenly. It is precisely these slow-boiled soups that draw diners day and night. Each pot takes four hours to make and they tend to sell out early. The chef, who has been crafting Cantonese fare for over 20 years, also makes a mean Cantonese barbecue, as well as stir-fries and claypot dishes. Try the live seafood from the fish tank, too.

This is not only a noodle shop, but also a factory that makes bouncy noodles for various restaurants in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. These famous strands made with duck eggs are dried outside the shop, which is nestled in a picturesque park. Dried plaice toasted on charcoal is added to the broth alongside pork backbones and dried shrimp for depth. Plump and brimming with filling, the flying fish roe wontons have umami-laden beads that pop in the mouth.

Generously adorned with glass work and art, this graceful restaurant befits the famous hotel in which it is nestled. All tables have gorgeous river views that jazz up the dining experience. The menu features the best from all over China, with an emphasis on Huaiyang and Sichuan specialities, such as sunflower seed-fed chicken in rice wine sauce and scalded shredded eel in oil. Oenophiles are bound to be thrilled by the varied wine selection.
