Tucked away in Guangzhou’s historic Xiguan district, Grainsalt isn’t just a bakery — it’s a love letter to slow fermentation and Cantonese craftsmanship. Step inside and be wrapped in the warm, earthy scent of freshly baked loaves, where every bite tells a story of tradition meeting innovation.
✨ Why It’s a Must-Try
From fluffy milk bread that melts on the tongue to crusty sourdough infused with lychee wood smoke, each creation is baked with locally milled flour and time-honored technique. Don’t miss their signature "Pineapple Char Siu Bun" — a delicious twist on a classic dim sum favorite!
