What travelers say:
Came here on June 29, 2013.
I did some research before coming to Guangzhou for tourism, and was recommended this store, which was said to be a representative local snack in Guangzhou, and it was in the Xiguan area, so I arranged a whole day to visit several stores in this area.
It was my first time to eat fish skin, but I felt I could get used to it. The fish skin was very chewy and had no fishy smell. With the store's "ancestral" seasoning, it tasted pretty good. Moreover, this store is in a small alley, and the storefront is very simple, but it looks full of fireworks. For tourists, the experience is full, which is great.

[Environment] The shop is not big, the interior decoration is very old-fashioned, there are also small tables outside, it has a market atmosphere, clean and hygienic [Service] The service attitude is OK [Taste] Chen Tianji Shuang Fish Skin: The fish skin is not fishy, crispy and delicious, with sweet soy sauce and sesame oil, plus green onions, peanuts, and sesame seeds, it is very delicious!
Guangzhou Food Exploration|An Old Fish Skin Shop You Can't Miss🐟 🗣This shop and another Chen Tianji Fish Skin in the alley have been debated by diners for years as to "who is the authentic Chen Tianji". Some guests who came from afar felt "cheated" after eating, and some people who have lived in the local area for many years said that this is the old shop, arguing/maintaining/chattering. But the business has always been good. 🤯 Putting aside this historical issue, this shop is where I first tried "fish skin", and objectively evaluating the taste of the food is indeed worthy of my praise. Maybe it's the first time I ate it, and the memory is particularly deep. 👉Before coming to Guangzhou, I was accidentally planted by netizens for the local specialty "fish skin". I didn't like fish very much at the time, but I didn't understand that fish skin could be made into a dish? And I was very curious about its taste... I made a special trip to find this old shop to try it... 👉The store is at the entrance of an alley, and you can see the sign at the intersection. As for the environment, since it is an old shop, don't have too many requirements... But I like this kind of small shop in the alley that looks very historical, as if the word "delicious" is written everywhere. 👉 I ordered "Original Mixed Fish Skin" and ordered classic fish skin, which was actually packed in an old-fashioned lunch box~ It feels a little unenvironmentally friendly, but it is convenient to carry and fully demonstrates that this is just a snack... With a bowl of "Traditional Boat Porridge", I like all kinds of porridge in the south! The heat is particularly good. This porridge and fish skin are also a good match! The fish skin is particularly refreshing, crispy, well-seasoned, and has no fishy smell at all, so that I, who don't like to eat fish, can easily enjoy the joy of eating fish skin~ Overall, it is good and did not disappoint me. 📍Location: No. 4-3, Shiwufuzheng Street, Baohua Road, Guangzhou (Exit D2, Changshou Road) ⏰Business hours: 9:00-22:00 #念游视界# 💁♀️Hi hello|I am Nian|Digital Nomad|Freelance Designer|One Computer and One Phone|Traveling Around the World While Working|DIGITAL NOMAD|New Lifestyle|Efficient Office|Wandering Life|Digital Nomad China|Dalihub, a Shared Office Space in Dali|Live in the World|Wandering Plan| Welcome to follow‼ ️ #Local Check-in#
tasty! This time I ordered three of his famous snacks: traditional boat porridge, steamed rice noodle rolls with soy sauce, and ancestral fish slices. The boat porridge is light but flavorful, and goes very well with fried dough sticks and peanuts. Rice noodle rolls may seem simple, with soy sauce used to enhance the flavor, but it is this simplicity, this traditional way of using sauce with rice noodle rolls and sprinkling sesame seeds on top that is a pure memory! Finally, there is their signature fish fillet. It is true that simplicity is classic, but it is also not simple. The fish skin itself is incredibly crispy and tasty, and paired with the sauce, chopped green onions, and peanuts, it is simply divine. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a cool fish fillet. It feels so good! I would like to taste it again next time!
The tradition has been preserved, and fish skin has been made for decades, becoming an authentic Guangzhou snack that must be tasted. Since its opening, the shop has only made three things: ancestral refreshing fish skin, traditional boat porridge, and steamed rice noodle rolls with soy sauce, which is truly "doing fine but not too much". Chen Tianji has the best cold fish skin in Guangzhou, and its popularity has always been super high. Although there are only three snacks, they are all signature snacks. Although it is a simple environment, the old taste of the food is already well-known. The cold fish skin is very refreshing. It is made with catfish skin, and the spices, peanuts and ginger shreds taste very good. The boat porridge is rich in ingredients, and the porridge base is cooked in a large pot, which makes the porridge more silky and has a unique rice aroma. Rice noodle rolls have a sesame aroma and are flavored with soy sauce. Recommended dish: cold fish skin The fish skin made with grass carp is handled just right, without any fishy smell, and paired with secret soy sauce, the taste is even more fresh and chewy. As for the boat porridge, it may seem a bit ordinary to the picky Guangzhou locals. But it is still quite good to have some porridge for breakfast.
A must-visit for the iconic city. But the taste is average. Expensive. There is no difference in taste from the pirated ones next to it. I can only say that tourism is very popular in China, and the scenic spots are very homogenized. There is no feeling at all... I paid and quickly gave you a plastic lunch box... The taste is average, don't come here for the reputation of the future
The taste is good and the price is cheap, no wonder the business is so good and there are so many people eating there. I bought the three recommended dishes and spent a total of 32 yuan, which is enough for two people. It is really affordable. Thanks to the netizens for the recommendation.
The fish skin is the highlight and very refreshing. Before this, I didn't know that ordering a bowl of rice noodle rolls with a bowl of porridge was a standard configuration. My boyfriend and I only ordered porridge and rice noodle rolls. It was very embarrassing. The boss kept charging us. We were embarrassed to say that we had come to Chen Tian Ji and had not eaten fish skin. We had been to Chen Tian Ji and looked at the advertisement. They only had three dishes, which were porridge, rice noodle rolls and fish skin.
