local restaurant Guangzhou --- Xiang Qun Restaurant 向群饭店

Recently recommended this restaurant to a Japanese friend, then he told me he and his friends extremely satisfied with it. he said, this is really local, really Cantonese. to be honest, i will not recommend this restaurant unless a friend really required a local atmosphere. the food is good there is no doubt,just... there is once, i took female friends to this restaurant, they really hate here. and since then i really careful to recommend it. 

if you OKAY with second hand smoke, loud talking(if you understand Cantonese, it is quite funny to hear what people is talking about. they use really funny local slang), squeezed seat, only serve cheap tea...just for enjoying food, and get close to local life, there defiantly the right place. and their waitress are all really nice.

 food that I recommend

1.Scallion ginger soya source chicken  姜葱淋鸡

2. 捞肚尖 

this I don't know how to translate. 肚尖 is a part of an organ of a pig, but I really don't know which part, although the waitress has explained.... if you don't accept organ, DO NOT order this. 

how is was tasted? --- crunchy

ingredients : Scallion, ginger, coriander, soya source and 肚尖 

3. sweet and sour fried fish with cedar nut 松子鱼

4. stew goose 碌鹅

5. Cantonese roast pork  叉烧

6. Soup of the day  例汤

soup of the day is a must have. soup  is a very important part of the Cantonese culture. 'soup of the day' use the seasonal ingredients, which fit the our body's needs of nutrient in the current climate.
