Arrive at 10 o'clock and queue up. It took an hour to get your turn. It's very popular.
If you queue up for more than 30 minutes, you can grab a doll at the door.
The taste is good and the tea is fragrant. While waiting, I watched the chef make shrimp dumplings, starting from rolling the dough step by step. His skills are very good. The shrimp dumplings are very tender and delicious.
Other snacks, staple foods and soups are also good. Recommended 👍🏻
Today I read the reviews and went to eat there in the scorching sun. It was good and the taste was okay, but the portions were not big. People from Northeast China eat a lot, so this time I just ordered to try the flavor 👅!

| Pan Tang Wu Xiu^
| Guangdong landmark food Babao winter melon soup^
| Pan Xi gold medal suckling pig^
| Basil black pepper Angus beef cubes^
| Reunion roast meat platter Environment:
The environment is really beautiful, worthy of being one of the four major garden restaurants in Guangzhou
Pavilions, towers, misty waterside pavilions
Infinite garden scenery
The private room is well decorated and very service:
Add 15% service charge and 20 yuan per person tea fee
A bit of a rip-off
We sat in the private room and served ourselves, and the waiter had to shout
Taste
Authentic Cantonese dishes, locals say it is not as delicious as before, it is average, the price-performance ratio is not very high, but the scenery is good, mainly the environment
It is the largest garden restaurant in Guangzhou. It consists of rockeries, fish ponds, curved corridors, lakeside restaurants, seafood boats, etc., with a well-arranged layout. My favorite dishes are the Golden Roasted Suckling Pig, Eight Treasure Winter Melon Soup, and Garden Fragrant Chicken.

[Environment] The space is quite large, clean and tidy
[Service] The service attitude is OK, and they actively help
[Taste] Oyster omelette: a combination of crispy and fresh, eat it while it's hot, it's delicious!
Yellow eel casserole: very fresh, the meat is chewy and firm, and the taste is first-class!
I've always heard about it, and this time I finally had the chance to come
[Mint] Environment:
My friend booked a room, which can only be reserved before 12 noon. The room is quite large, and the river is outside the window, so it's quite comfortable to sit
[Service Bell] Service:
There will be waiters in the room who are always busy, serving dishes, adding water, etc.
We ordered a few jar pots and two clay pot rices. The jar pots are a bit heavy and the portions are small. Both "Classic Eel Shredded Rice" and "Emperor's Preserved Meat Clay Pot Rice" are good and delicious
Overall it's OK, I can try other dishes next time

The price of White Swan Tea is definitely the ceiling in the city. Dim sum is around 60 yuan, ordinary tea is 20 yuan, plus 15% service charge.
As for whether the product matches the price, it depends on personal opinion. I think the food is basically exquisite and delicious, and the ingredients are fresh and the portion is moderate. Generally, people come here to change their taste when they are tired of other restaurants.
The environment is undoubtedly elegant, and with high-quality service, it is a bit expensive to consume here, but it does give people a very comfortable feeling.
Hongtu Mansion of White Swan was successfully promoted to Michelin last year. The products are really great. Recommended dim sum:
Yangcheng Fresh Shrimp Dumplings: The shrimp is fresh and delicious, and the skin is chewy and not mushy. It is a must-order dim sum;
Swan Pastry: The shape is vivid and you can't bear to eat it. The filling is abalone + barbecued pork.
Saqima with olive kernel: soft and glutinous without sticking to the teeth, full of egg flavor.
After eating dim sum, you can also walk around the White Swan Hotel and admire the big koi in the pond.

Seeing that new products have been released recently, I came with my parents to try them again. The elderly can avoid tea, which is good.
This time we went to a store near Jiefang South.
The seller's show and the buyer's show of new products are still different.
The mandarin duck scallop and radish dumplings are missing the black fish roe on the top, and the colorful dace balls are also missing the sausage slices on the top. The former still wins in appearance, while the latter has more ingredients such as dace meat.
The raw fried oatmeal glutinous rice produced by the chef of this store is quite good, and it feels better than other stores.
The garlic shrimp and spinach dumplings are also very good in taste and ingredients.
In general, the dim sum ordered are all good, and none of them are bad.
Tips: The number of pigeons is limited. If you want to eat the special offer, remember to arrive early and place your order early.
I strongly recommend it to friends who go to Guangzhou. You must go there for morning tea when you go to Guangzhou. There are all kinds of dim sum snacks. The cooking method is exquisite and the taste is very good. The steamed dumplings have thin skin and a lot of meat. The mango sago has a high appearance and is very greasy. The shrimp dumplings are especially delicious 😋, and the durian is crispy and refreshing.

This restaurant is very famous in Guangzhou. Firstly, it has a great location, where you can enjoy the view of the Pearl River and the French Riviera while dining. Secondly, the quality of its dishes is also very good, which has been highly praised by diners at home and abroad, and won it a Michelin one-star rating.
This is a restaurant with an elegant environment in Guangzhou. The food is always authentic. Of course, the price is relatively high, but the price-performance ratio is still very good. The dim sum they make are all delicious and tasty. There are also enough parking spaces at the door.

This restaurant is one of the four famous garden restaurants in Guangzhou. It is located on Qianjin Road in Haizhu District. It is a restaurant with a very beautiful environment. As soon as you enter the door, you will see pavilions and corners. It used to be a villa for rich people. Because it is in the south of Guangzhou, it is called Nanyuan. The design of the halls and rooms here is also very Lingnan style, with colorful glass tile windows, which retains the ancient Lingnan style. The products here are very good, with the flavor of authentic Cantonese cuisine. All the dishes are not bad, and the ingredients are sufficient. It is worth recommending.
[Environment] The environment is first-class, with mountains and water, and a garden view
[Service] Good service, good attitude
[Taste] Supreme roast goose: signature dish, crispy skin and fragrant meat, just right!
Oysters: fresh, big, delicious.

Valentine's Day Romantic Guide | Check in the must-eat restaurant hidden next to the Cultural Park
Silver Lantern Restaurant has moved to Liwan District. Take advantage of the holiday to bring my mother to check in!
It's very convenient to dp in advance to get a number! If you arrive at 14:00 on weekdays, there are actually many seats, just have afternoon tea🫖
In fact, there are only 30 or 40 tables in the lobby, but two halls were built in the garden, so there are really many seats!
Recommended:
Golden soup millet stewed fish maw, thick golden soup base, millet, lots of fish maw, very healthy!
Crab roe chicken soup dumplings, the name is good, but I didn't taste the crab roe and chicken soup!
Nourishing egg pork feet ginger, my mother said to eat ginger vinegar to nourish it, it feels like the ingredients are just boiled in ginger vinegar, not enough flavor!
Tea seat 8 yuan, but not bad!
After the winter vacation, because I stayed up late playing games 🎮 and watching TV series, my face broke out with acne and was very oily. At this time, using stridex salicylic acid facial cleanser to clean my face is just right!
150ml portion is chill value, and the packaging 📦 is good!
Squeeze two soybean-sized pieces and gently massage the face to clean 🧽 oil control and clean pores. 🦶 Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E make the skin moisturized, gentle, and not tight!
🏠Restaurant: Silver Light Restaurant (Cultural Park Store)
🚗Address: 3rd Floor, Guangzhou Shisanhang Cultural and Technology Center, No. 37, Xidi Erma Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province (near Exits A and B of Cultural Park Metro Station, near the main entrance of Guangzhou Cultural Park)
After the Yindeng Restaurant moved from Haizhu Square to the Cultural Park, the entire decoration layout has been greatly improved. The current Yindeng Restaurant is located in the commercial building next to the south gate of the Cultural Park. The restaurant is divided into two areas, indoor and outdoor. The outdoor lighting is quite beautiful at night, with a feeling of Lingnan gardens, and the interior decoration is also full of old Cantonese elements. In terms of products, it actively provides dim sum tea and Cantonese rice, and retains the night tea time. It is quite popular.

Founded Over 90 Years Ago, Famous for its Ingenious Cantonese Dim Sum

Guangzhou Restaurant Yuehua Road Branch is located on the fifth and sixth floors of Zhujiang International Building, near Beijing Road Pedestrian Street in Guangzhou. Although it was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the queue had already started when I arrived at nine o'clock, but there was no queue for the big tables, and the queues were all for four people. It seemed that the small tables were basically all locals, and the aunts and uncles gathered for morning tea. We ordered several famous snacks that ranked high: red rice sausage, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, taro ribs, pork liver porridge, etc. The taste was really good. The six of us ate until we couldn't eat anymore, and we were still not satisfied. If there were a few more friends, we could taste more delicacies.
After the store was renovated, the number of seats in the hall was reduced by about one-third, so if you go late for morning tea now, you may have to wait for a seat. The area marked out has been transformed into a Kung Fu Tea House, with tea seats costing 15-20 yuan. Tea seats in the hall have also increased from 8 yuan to 10 yuan.
The menu has also been adjusted. What is gratifying is that a lot of double and triple dim sum have been added, so even one or two people can taste multiple dim sum. There is no need to pack and it is not easy to cause waste.
The products are still remarkable. There is basically no major problem with the dim sum. In terms of dishes, the braised goose with sauce is delicious, the Hainanese chicken with crispy skin and boneless is superb, and the fried beef noodles are also quite outstanding.
The service is generally good, but due to the good business in recent months, some management deficiencies have been inadvertently exposed. I hope it can get better and better.
