A Local's Hidden Village Food Map That 99% of Tourists Don't Know About

Only by venturing into village alleys can you truly understand what "human world's warmth" means! This off-the-beaten-path rural food guide even makes native Shunde residents exclaim "Now this is real eating!" after reading it.

🌿 Qinghui Garden Museum
A living fossil of Lingnan gardens hidden in the city center!
Blue bricks, wood carvings with banana trees and koi fish - wear linen clothes for maximum aesthetic photos.
Don't forget to buy handmade milk tablets from the granny at the back gate - they make fragrant drinks when soaked in water!

🐟 Jinfang Private Kitchen · Fish Skin Salad · Mixed Chicken
Three generations running this affordable old shop where you can eat abalone and shark fin for just 50+ per person:
✔ Fish Salad: Freshly sliced grass carp as thin as cicada wings, mixed with a dozen ingredients in Shunde's signature ceremonial style
✔ Private Kitchen Mixed Chicken: Crispier than potato chips! With crunchy peanuts, lotus root strips and sesame for complex textures
✔ Steamed Fish Bones with Fermented Black Beans: Even fish scraps become tender and flavorful, with bean aroma that hits your senses

🐷 Yinggu Pork Offal Congee
The real late-night eatery that's still bubbling at 2am:
🔥 Pork Offal Congee: Liver and intestines from same-day slaughter in smooth, fragrant rice porridge
🔥 Sizzling Iron Plate Intestines: Served crackling hot with wok hei aroma
🔥 Stir-fried Rice Noodles: Dry-fried with bean sprouts and eggs - Shunde's classic midnight snack

🌾 Damen Gong Restaurant · Authentic Shunde Cuisine
A private kitchen converted from a village ancestral hall where elders come for morning tea:
▪ Steamed Grass Carp with Milk, Salt and Oil: Unbelievably fresh with milk-infused tender fish
▪ Vintage Osmanthus Pork Liver Roll with Wild Chicken Roll: Layered fatty-lean pork liver balanced by sweet osmanthus
▪ Giant Fried Sesame Ball: Hollow sesame puff bigger than your face - fun to tear and share

🦞 Smooth Sailing Fish Salad Private Kitchen
A home kitchen only locals can guide you to:
▫ Herbed Baked Lobster: Western-style local lobster with creamy herbal sauce locking in springy texture
▫ Stewed Oxtail with Arrowroot: Claypot-braised for 3 hours until collagen-rich and lip-sticking
▫ Stir-fried Snowflake Beef with Porcini: Mushrooms soaking up meat juices upstage the beef

🌅 Fisherman's Wharf
Avoid daytime crowds!
Best visited at dusk when fishing boats return
Cobblestone paths with sunset make perfect photos.
At the wharf's end, uncles shuck fresh oysters
5 for 10 yuan - so fresh they'll make you shiver~
