Why Shunde in China's south is a Cantonese food heaven, with delicious dishes that amaze
Shunde is a wonderful place to go if you like to eat. Advertisement Often hailed as the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine, the Unesco-designated City of Gastronomy in southern China's Pearl River Delta is a culinary paradise and a training ground for many top Chinese chefs. Shunde – spelled Shun Tak in Cantonese – is officially a district of Foshan city but is administered independently and widely considered by locals as a separate city. It is relatively lush and green for such a thriving area in the delta, having mostly resisted the urge to give up its agricultural plains for factories. Add to this its world-class culinary reputation and it is puzzling why it is not a bigger tourist draw, often overshadowed by larger nearby cities such as Zhongshan, Foshan and Dongguan. Hua Gai Li Street in Shunde is a popular strip lined with snack shops, eateries, tea cafes and dessert parlours. Photo: Andrew Sun I recently visited Shunde for the first time, which I did through Min Yuen Tong, one of Hong Kong's oldest clan associations for people of Shunde heritage. Due to celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2026, its mission is to promote welfare, education and charity back in its hometown. Advertisement

From siu mei to snails, drinks brand co-founder's top Hong Kong restaurants
Adrian Ng is the co-founder and head of business development at Mezzanine Makers, a Hong Kong-based craft drinks producer. He spoke to Andrew Sun. I am a typical Hongkonger, brought up eating siu mei (roast meats) on the street and dining in cha chaan tengs . I started to enjoy more fresh food with minimal seasoning after an exchange experience in Munich, Germany, where I found out tomatoes actually have a taste. Now I enjoy the art of turning mediocre ingredients into delicious dishes. For a simple lunch, Chukfo Taipan Restaurant (Shop 3, 2-3 Triangle Street, Wan Chai. Tel: 2892 2789) has a good selection of barbecued meats with good soup. Another good cha chaan teng lunch is Shun Hing Restaurant (5 Ormsby Street, Tai Hang. Tel: 2576 6577). They pioneered the velvety char siu and egg rice dish, with great balance in portion and flavour between the rice, egg and soy sauce.

Tel: 2347 7009) offers an authentic Shunde cuisine experience with classic dishes rarely found outside the district in Foshan, in southern China. For me, the braised pomelo skin is the most memorable. It is a nice place to go with family. My all-time favourite comfort food is a huge bowl of lamb rice noodles with home-made spicy sauce and a lot of spring onion. I get that at Yunnan Old Friend Black Mountain Goat Rice Noodle Soup (two locations including 1/F, 90 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong. Tel: 3480 1908).
