The City of Rams — The Food of Panyu
Panyu is the haven of food in Guangzhou, which is a heaven of food itself. I took my family to Panyu because of the great food, and it certainly did not disappoint. The following is in random order and it is not a ranking.

| Baomaye Abalone and Chicken Pot
鲍马爷鲍鱼鸡煲 |
No. 230 Yushan Road, 4-105 (near Yinzuo Hotel 银座酒店), Panyu District, Guangzhou
(广州市番禺区禺山大道230号之四105号（近银座酒店）) |
This restaurant specializes in fresh abalone cooked with chicken and served in a hot pot. The flavors are quite good. There is a selection of abalone in different price ranges and you order the abalone by the piece. The menu does not come with too many choices, however. The absolute highlight of the meal is actually the brown sugar steamed cake, called Malagao in Chinese, and certainly a Cantonese favorite as far as dessert goes. | Yes |

| The Dairy Queen of Shawan Ancient Town

No. 3 Anning Lu, Shwan Ancient Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou
(广州市番禺区沙湾古镇安宁路3号) |
Thirty years in business, the Dairy Queen of Shawan Ancient Town is the very originator of the dessert ginger with milk pudding (it’s like a milk curd). This dessert is certainly a Cantonese favorite. If you visit the Shawan Ancient Town, you must try the Dairy Queen of Shawan. | Must-try |

（广州市番禺区钟村街S5 栋101） |
This restaurant serves Shunde cuisine, and its specialty is the steamed pot. Fish or seafood is cooked right at the table with a steamer. The essence of the food cooked on the top level will seep into the congee base at the bottom stack. | Yes |

(Tianhe District, Guangzhou) 炳胜私厨 |
No. 178, Tianhu Donglu, Tianhe District, Guangzhou
(广州市天河区天河东路178号) |
Bingsheng is a 1-star Michelin restaurant in the Tianhe district of Guangzhou. I gave it a lukewarm recommendation not because of the quality of its food. Its food was all around excellent. The enormous pineapple buns were an absolute highlight, amongst other great savory dishes.
We had a bad tea lady who had terrible attitude, and another lady was also uncouth. The service aspect of the restaurant did not meet Michelin grade in my opinion. We have reflected this to the manager and I hope they did something about that. |
