We totally 9 persons visits this restaurant tonight, the restaurant is
nearly full. When we enter the restaurant, we are flooded by a
delicious food smell and it is available everywhere in the restaurant.
It is the smell of cooking river food.
We
request the manager to suggest, and order 8 different dishes, including
1) a vegetable, 2) Fried fresh milk, 3) a Chinese pot of chicken, 4)
Shun De lotus root and green pepper with fish meat, 5) a soup of aged chicken and conch, 6) Dace in 2 styles, 7) Kam Fish (魽魚)
cooked in Chinese pot, and 8) Fish head in ginger & green onion.
Fried
fresh milk is a famous dish in Shunde cuisine, and is not easy to cook
and prepare if the cooking skill is too green. It is your must-try if
you are foreigner. Chinese pot of chicken is a signature dish here but I
do not think so.
The
soup is priced at $260, quite expensive. But if you have tried the
soup, it has strong and delicious taste of chicken, conch and other
Chinese herbals. It becomes money for value and cannot be compared with
those soups in other Chinese restaurants, except Lei Garden Restaurant.
Kam
Fish (a member of catfish family, a fish without scale) is lightly
fried in oil and then cooked with ginger and green onion in a Chinese
pot. Though the fish is large in size and fleshy, the meat texture is
still good and quite similar to that of eel. In addition, this cooking method can bring out
the fish taste fully. This is another recommendation by the manager. It
is a right choice.
Fish
head in ginger & green onion is the most delicious one in the
dinner. A fish head is chopped into 2 halves, then we order 5 fish heads
totally. Though the fish head has been fried in oil and then cooked
again in Chinese pot, the meat between fish head bones is not dry and is full of the special
taste of ginger and green onion. Double layered milk pudding is also
famous in this restaurant, but we are unlucky that all milk puddings are
sold out.
Up
till now, you know how I evaluate this restaurant. Food is fantastic.
We cannot ask for more. Hope it continues to serve us – food lovers, in
such an excellent standard. If you want to try Shunde cuisines and are
foreigners, there is no need to travel to Shunde Guangdong ; this Shun De Kung River
food Restaurant is your No. 1 choice. Hurrah! Booking is needed in
dinnertime, please.
