Libao Pavilion is located in Shenzhen. The roast duck in the store is very popular. You have to make an appointment and queue up almost every morning to buy it. This time, I was introduced by a friend. This power plant is a high-end one. I recommend the crispy beef brisket, which is particularly exquisite, and the soup inside is also very tender.
Libao Pavilion is a well-known chain tea restaurant in Shenzhen. The morning tea here is still very famous. There are many dishes to choose from, but I am afraid that my appetite is not big and I can't eat too much. The environment of the restaurant is very good. The price is not cheap, but it is acceptable

The first time I walked into the operation room, I saw my white-cut Zhanjiang super marinated chicken being cut, sliced, and served on the table. This is my favorite dish in Cantonese cuisine. It shows the effort and tastes great.
Located in Luohu District, Yue Cuisine Palace is a high-end Chinese restaurant specializing in authentic Cantonese cuisine. The store's decoration is magnificent, full of traditional Chinese palace design elements. The magnificent chandeliers are matched with elegant screens, creating a noble and elegant dining atmosphere.
The restaurant is famous for its seafood and tea market. Fresh live seafood is delivered daily, and the various seafood swimming in the fish tank are dazzling. Signature dishes include steamed grouper, baked lobster with ginger and scallion, fried crab in typhoon shelter, etc. Each dish is prepared by experienced Cantonese chefs with precise control of heat and perfect seasoning. I especially recommend their dim sum for morning tea, which is prepared by experienced dim sum chefs. Whether it is shrimp dumplings, siu mai or barbecued pork buns, they all maintain the authentic Hong Kong flavor.
In terms of service, the waiters are well-trained, professional and friendly. They can carefully introduce the characteristics of the dishes and provide suggestions when appropriate. The dining environment is spacious and comfortable, and each room is equipped with independent air conditioning, allowing guests to enjoy a private dining space.
The price is mid-to-high-end, but considering the freshness of the ingredients, product quality and service level, it is reasonable. The restaurant also provides banquet services, and the venue can be flexibly configured, suitable for hosting business banquets or family gatherings. Overall, the Cantonese Cuisine Palace lives up to its name and brings diners an authentic Cantonese dining experience. It is a high-end Cantonese restaurant worthy of recommendation.

Tao Tao Ju, an old brand, has finally shone with some new light. In fact, compared with Guangzhou, Shenzhen seems to be still inferior in terms of Cantonese cuisine and teahouses, and several relatively old restaurants are not so outstanding now.
Tao Tao Ju, Diandu De, Fanlou, these Guangzhou restaurants have expanded rapidly in Shenzhen in recent years.
Although the big kitchen model may not be good enough for some senior diners, the brand can finally guarantee some basic quality.
Let young people not forget the feeling of old-fashioned teahouses and dim sum
[Taste] The products are exquisite and creative, delicious, and the old brand is trustworthy.
Durian egg rolls are crispy and rich in egg flavor. You will fall in love with them once you try them. They are really delicious!
[Service] Good

The set meal was very suitable, with a corn, a stewed milk, a bowl of white porridge, and a pigeon. It was very filling.
Although he is known as the exclusive chef of Guangming Guesthouse's squab chef, the taste is still average. If you just want to taste it, it is recommended to choose the set meal, which is relatively cost-effective.

Located at Raffles Square on Nanhai Avenue, the recommended dishes are diverse and unique in taste. The original coconut chicken, cured meat clay pot rice and pearl horse trotters are all very delicious. In addition, their bamboo fungus and signature bamboo fungus chicken are also excellent. It is worth mentioning that the waiters are friendly and happy to answer questions for customers.
Today I made an appointment with my bestie at Four Seasons Coconut Grove.
As soon as I walked in, I was moved by the tropical beauty😭
Surrounded by green plants and swaying coconut trees🌴
A casual shot would be an Instagram-style blockbuster📸
The signature coconut chicken must be prepared!
The freshly chopped coconut🥥is directly poured into the pot
The soup base is so sweet💥
The chicken is so tender that it melts in your mouth
With the special dipping sauce, it is absolutely delicious!
Here comes the highlight‼ ️
Their clay pot rice is so delicious.
The rice crust is golden and crispy, and the preserved meat is salty and fragrant.
I can finish three bowls by myself🍚
(Losing weight? Not happening!)
You can eat until you have to lean on the wall for 100+ per person. The price-performance ratio is amazing✨
The waiter is also very considerate. He helps us adjust the heat of the dishes throughout the whole process.
Finally, we have a coconut jelly to finish. It is so cool and refreshing🧊
I am so happy that I am spinning in circles💃
Sisters, make an appointment!
Remember to get a number in advance~
(Don’t blame me for not reminding you, there are so many people queuing!)

The restaurant has nostalgic decoration, and the Cantonese-style snacks taste very good. I love the radish cake, Teochew rice noodle, and sand ginger chicken feet. The service is thoughtful, and Cai Xiangji is very enthusiastic. The all-you-can-eat order is very cost-effective and worth experiencing!
The Fulinmen Chinese Restaurant of Crowne Plaza Suites Landmark Shenzhen is located inside the hotel, with convenient transportation and complete surrounding supporting facilities. When you step into the restaurant, the first thing that catches your eye is its elegant and grand decoration style. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and bright, with a reasonable layout and tables and chairs arranged neatly and orderly, creating a comfortable and warm dining atmosphere.
The restaurant's decorative details are also very exquisite, with exquisite Chinese paintings hanging on the walls, adding a strong cultural atmosphere. The lighting design is just right, with soft light shining on the dining table, making the food look more tempting. In addition, the restaurant also has several private rooms suitable for gatherings and banquets of different sizes. The private rooms are luxuriously decorated and fully equipped, providing guests with a more private dining environment.

The transportation is very convenient, just next to the subway station, the lobby area is large enough, it is a traditional Cantonese tea restaurant, and also provides seafood. There are many varieties, the taste is good, and it is very popular. The seats in the lobby are basically full.
It was my first time in Shenzhen. The hotel I stayed in was next to Xinfulou, which is located opposite the Dongmen Pedestrian Street subway station. It looked very popular, so I went to check it out. I found many pictures of delicious-looking food. After ordering, the food was indeed tasty and filling. I wanted to try some of the main dishes, but I didn’t have enough time. I will definitely try them next time I go.

Would I say that I ordered it rashly because I was curious about the same dish as Lin Gouzi? I didn't expect that I didn't have to queue up on the first day of the Chinese New Year. Perfect~
XO sauce steamed chicken feet with Sichuan pepper
It's just a little more spicy than the traditional steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce. It's crispy and boneless with a light bite. It's great with Pu'er tea to relieve greasiness
Fanlou Four-style rice rolls
To be honest, it's a bit sloppy. The rice rolls are too clumpy and have no toughness at all. There's also a little less soy sauce. After pouring it all over, it still doesn't have any flavor
Saltwater corners
Is there anyone like me who must order salty corners for a cup of tea? It's just that the serving speed is too slow. I can understand that it's freshly made so it's slow, but it's crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside
By the way, even at the peak of the meal, the waiter still pours tea and water in a timely manner, which is good
Fanlou is a famous Cantonese dim sum restaurant in Shenzhen. It has opened several branches. You have to wait in line for more than one or two hours for each meal. If you don't want to wait in line, it's best to go before 9:30 in the morning. The taste is absolutely authentic and there are no disappointments. Red rice sausage is the first choice. Taotaoju is better for shrimp dumplings. The price is just a little bit more expensive. In short, this is a place you must try if you are in Shenzhen.

The name of this restaurant is long, but seeing that it mainly focuses on seafood, I went in to try it. When you enter the restaurant you will see a large seafood bar area, all fresh seafood. We had to choose the seafood and portions we wanted to eat, then we told the restaurant waiter the cooking we wanted to order. In addition to seafood there are also other types of snacks, if you like to eat seafood can try.
The weather is cold recently, the best is to have hot pot and chicken pot If you want to eat healthy and nourishing, of course you have to try the live seafood hot pot shop that focuses on fresh and healthy concept After dinner, there are also Shekou Market, Shenzhen Bay Park, Poly Theatre, massage parlor and large shopping mall nearby
