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. Rice Noodle Rolls: Visit a shop that uses traditional woven bamboo mats to prepare delicate rolls filled with meat and topped with seasoned soy sauce. This spot is a long-time staple in the local community. Wonton Noodles: These special noodles are made from duck eggs and flour, then kneaded and pressed with a rare method 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 Cuisine: As river dwellers, we love fish. Enjoy a spread of sashimi that is prepared using a traditional Canontese method, served alongside dishes carefully chosen to highlight the fish’s flavor and texture while balancing the body.
