Panyu Food Panyu's popularity has surged in recent years. It has not only become a tourist destination, but also attracted many Guangzhou people to buy houses and settle here.

Its delicacies full of local flavors from the Pearl River Delta whet the appetites of Guangzhou diners. For a time, "eating in Panyu" became a new trend.

What is the charm of Panyu’s restaurants?

In the words of Guangzhou people, there are three words: flat, beautiful and upright.

The average ones have fair prices and reasonable charges; the good ones have fresh and delicious food and guaranteed quality; the honest ones have superb cooking skills and authentic Kung Fu.

Panyu people pay attention to authentic food. In the words of a certain gourmet, Guangzhou has long been the Guangzhou of people from other provinces, and only Panyu is still the Panyu of Guangzhou people.

Fresh Pork Offal: A masterpiece of Panyu delicacies. When you come to Panyu, you will find an interesting phenomenon. Almost every restaurant has a "Fresh Pork Offal" brand to attract customers.

At this time, you will suddenly realize: Why restaurants in Guangzhou have the slogan "You don't have to go to Panyu to eat pig offal", and some restaurants even call themselves "Panyu's pig offal".

It turns out that fresh pork offal has become a masterpiece of Panyu cuisine.

Since the mid-1990s, some restaurants in Panyu have begun to launch a series of fresh pork offal, including salted pork belly, brine raw intestine, ginger juice, pork intestine, etc.

Soon, these dishes became popular in the Pearl River Delta region.

According to one of the founders of "Fresh Pork Offal" and the owner of Panyu Huijing Restaurant, the restaurant's business has been booming since the "Fresh Pork Offal" sign was launched.

Their signature dishes "Energy Pork Liver Water" and "Iron Plate Pork Offal" also won the title of Famous Food at the 1999 International Food Festival.

"Active Pork Liver Water" is a soup base made of medicinal materials, and then the pork liver is soaked. The extracted pork liver water is sweet and beneficial, and has a good blood-enriching effect.

"Iron Plate Pork Offal" is made by putting fresh pork liver, pork loin, pork belly, and pig intestines together with secret sauce into an iron plate, cooking it, and stirring it into a fragrant hodgepodge.

The best time to eat pork offal is at 12 o'clock in the evening. At this time, restaurants have just returned fresh pork offal from the slaughterhouse, and the dishes cooked are particularly delicious.

If you see many tour groups leaving for midnight snacks at 12pm, then they must be heading for fresh pork.

At this time, restaurants often set tables outdoors, and people can enjoy the coolness while tasting steaming pig offal porridge and pig offal chowder, which has become a local scene.

Seafood and river fresh food: How come the word "ping" is so prominent? Seafood and river fresh food restaurants all over Panyu have always been a good place for Guangzhou people to find food.

In places like Shiba Yong, Shiyan Island, and Shawan, which are vast stretches of sand, seafood restaurants are everywhere.

Most of these restaurants are stilted bamboo buildings built against the water, or simply shaped like a fishing boat. Many customers like to sit in the open air, where the wind and water are cool, which is a unique experience.

In restaurants, you can find all kinds of seafood and river fresh food, and the prices are often much cheaper than in Guangzhou.

Here you can also enjoy delicious food that is rare in Guangzhou.

Spring in Panyu is the harvest season for pigeon fish and flower fish, which have also become a specialty flavor of local restaurants.

Of course, the steamed white pigeon fish with black bean sauce and Maggi steamed croaker are the ones that bring out the most umami flavor. If you want a more savory and rich flavor, try the salt-and-pepper pan-fried white pigeon fish or the salt-and-pepper fire-fired croaker.

If you want to taste the river fish here, you must hurry up, because spring is the season when river fish are fattest and most delicious.

Newly cultivated lotus root: It reminds people that Panyu is a famous land of fish and rice. It is rich in agricultural and sideline products. The delicacies made from fresh local agricultural and sideline products have strong local characteristics.

The lotus roots newly cultivated in Panyu are large and very pink, and are a major local specialty.

Many restaurants use it to prepare special dishes, attracting many diners from Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao.

Among them, braised pork belly with lotus root, braised duck with lotus root, and fried lotus root slices with southern milk are all famous local dishes.

The most special one is mung bean stuffed with lotus root. The chef first boils the mung bean and peels it, then stuffs it into the lotus root hole, adds special ingredients and pours the lotus root into the pot before serving.

This dish is fragrant and delicious.

Shawan Ginger Milk: Sweet and beneficial. When looking for delicious food in Panyu, be sure to try Shawan's Ginger Milk. This traditional snack has been passed down since the 1930s. It has been carried forward by its descendants and has become more suitable for modern people's tastes.

At Qinfangyuan Dessert Shop in Shawan, Panyu, according to Zeng Huizhuang, the descendant of the famous local ginger milk maker "Milk Dang", when making ginger milk, you must choose yellow, starchy ginger, and use fresh buffalo milk with high concentration as milk.

When making, put the ginger juice at the bottom of the bowl, pour the milk at about 80℃ into the bowl and mix well.

If a spoon can be placed firmly on the surface of the milk without sinking, then it is considered a successful ginger-buried milk.

These dessert shops often don’t specialize in anything but fried milk, stir-fried milk, milk taro syrup, milk stewed bamboo chicken, milk stewed fish, milk porridge, etc. Even glutinous rice cakes are filled with milk cream.

Yes, it really brings out the milk delicacy to its fullest.

Panyu Sliced ??Skin Duck: Also Becoming a Popular Product Don’t think that only Beijing’s Sliced ??Skin Duck is famous. Panyu’s Sliced ??Skin Duck is also a popular product. After transformation and refinement, the Sliced ??Skin Duck here is more suitable for the taste of southerners.

The Panyu District Guest House, located in the former Panyu District Government, is famous for its sliced ??duck.

The sliced ??duck here is not only crispy and fragrant, but also has the flavor of the bones.

According to the chef, the method is to use about 2.5 kilograms of local white duck, marinate it with special seasonings, and then roast it in an open oven, pouring the sauce while roasting. This way, the skinned duck will be particularly beautiful and special.

Delicious.
