[2025 Guangzhou Restaurant] Travel Guide for GUANG ZHOU DIM DOU DUK (Updated Jun)

Living in Guangdong, having morning tea is a must. Morning tea usually opens at 4am, but as a post-95s person, it is impossible for me to go that early. It is good enough to arrive at the teahouse before 11am, haha~~ What Guangzhou people call drinking tea actually refers to drinking tea in a teahouse. Not only drinking tea, but also eating dim sum, is regarded as a way of socializing. The concepts of teahouses and teahouses in Guangzhou are also different. It serves both tea and snacks, and its architecture is grand and magnificent, which is incomparable to teahouses. Therefore, Guangzhou people like to go to teahouses for gatherings, business discussions, and leisure activities. With a pot of strong tea and some delicious snacks, people gather together in groups of three or four to eat and chat. This not only fills their stomachs and strengthens their relationships, but also exchanges information and even closes a business deal. It is truly a pleasant thing. Because of this, Guangzhou people call drinking tea "tan tea". "Tan" is a slang in Guangzhou, meaning enjoyment. This is also an important reason why Guangzhou's teahouse industry has remained prosperous for hundreds of years. Among the old restaurants of all sizes in Guangzhou, a considerable number of them were once teahouses. When you arrive at a teahouse, of course you have to order "one cup and two pieces" (a pot of tea and two pieces of dim sum) and enjoy them slowly. Picture 2 is the abalone sauce and bean curd skin enoki mushroom roll, which has a unique taste and exquisite ingredients. The filling includes black fungus, carrots, enoki mushrooms, pork, etc., and the outside is covered with a bean curd skin. Rolling, frying and steaming are a real test of the chef’s skills! However, because of the unique taste, not many people eat it, but I like the unique taste. Picture 3 is the chicken feet with soy sauce. Actually, I had already eaten two of them before taking the photo, but I still think the portion is too small. If you like it, you can order another steamed chicken feet with lily sauce, which is also a good choice~ Picture 4 is the golden sand shrimp red rice sausage. The glutinous thin skin is wrapped with a layer of golden sand and delicious shrimp. It is endless aftertaste. Once it is served, it will be sold out. It is really "the quick hand will be gone"! After talking for so long, of course we have to have some staple food - Liwan boat porridge (as shown in the fourth picture) This is a staple food, the ingredients are barbecued pork, fish slices, squid tentacles, floating skin, jellyfish, egg shreds, fried peanuts, crispy, chopped green onions, radish, ginger shreds, and white porridge. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

#discoverchina Nestled in the heart of Guangzhou, Dim Dou Tak offers a delightful fusion of authentic Cantonese dim sum with a modern flair. The restaurant's vibrant atmosphere and swift service set the stage for a memorable dining experience. I began my culinary journey with the classic shrimp dumplings (har gow). These plump, juicy morsels were encased in delicate, translucent wrappers that provided just the right amount of chew. The BBQ pork buns stood out with their fluffy exteriors and sweet, savoury char siu fillings. Another highlight was the steamed rice rolls with prawns, which were silky smooth, generously stuffed, and perfectly complemented by a light soy sauce. #DimSumDelights #GuangzhouEats #DimDouTak #CantoneseCuisine #FoodieAdventures #TasteGuangzhou #ModernDimSum

Nice food at Guangzhou

Every industry is competitive. Tea houses are no longer just for the elderly. You can also meet up with friends or chat with your sisters here. -📍Dian Dou De / New dishes are a safe bet ·Fermented Bean Curd Steamed Beef Tripe ✅ Delicious, the fermented bean curd flavor is not too strong. The beef tripe is crispy and chewy, with no stinky smell. Don't always order "beef short ribs," you can try this one. ·Beef Floss Pastry ✅ Crispy and refreshing, the beef is also very fresh. It should not be pre-made food, and the curry is very special.

/ 🟠Order Recommendation💫 1 Steamed chicken feet with lily sauce 😌 Delicious and tasty, the sauce is very rich and melts in your mouth👅A classic morning tea soul dish, there is basically nothing bad about chicken feet, very tasty, just the right hardness, easy to remove bones👍🏻 · 2 Shrimp and Red Rice Sausage 👏🏻 My favorite! A must-order every time you eat Cantonese food😍The tempting red color catches the eye, and the color impact makes people salivate! Soft and sticky skin, firm and plump shrimp 🍤 with crispy fried net skin to enrich the taste, you can't stop eating one by one✔️ · 3 Gold Medal Shrimp Dumplings 🍤 I'm looking forward to the shrimp dumplings, which are a must-order at every dim sum restaurant. Each shrimp dumpling has two to three shrimps🍤, and is juicy. The crystal dough wraps the shrimps, and one bite is so satisfying! I won't introduce them one by one, don't miss it, it's delicious
