Lets first have a look at the extremely high resolution, poster like Menu. Cantonese food is known for it's roasted meats, here the roasted goose and roasted ducks get most of the attention. I'm practically drooling already just browsing through the menu..

Simmering Soups are a Cantonese specialty, you can see how rich the soup ingredients are.

Finally, lets see the Shunde Dishes

In Guangdong, there is a table custom where all the plates and cutlery are scalded with boiling water to kill any bacteria that might have been missed the first time it was washed. This is why there are usually two boiling pots on the table, one is for cleaning the utensils, and the other is tea for drinking.

Sour and Spicy Jelly Fish, made into such a brightly coloured orange, this dish tastes as bright as it looks!

Sauteed squid with Soy Sauce, this is a very nutritious dish unique to Shunde. The Squid has lots of collagen which is good for a ladies skin. In Shunde, you'll see quite a number of different ways this dish is prepared and served. If this is the first time eating Sauteed squid, you might be put off by it's unusual looks. Rest assured, it's tastiness will more than make up for it's strange appearance.

This bread is an Indian bread called Roti prata. Even though it's not native to Shunde, it's crunchy crispy outside and soft inside is really delicious.

Steamed Fish Slices, very fresh and tender, there's even little water bead droplets on the fish slices.

Tiger Skin Green Pepper, the name comes from the fact that when the green peppers are cooked, the peppers have a sort of paste that forms of the surface of the peppers which resemble the stripes on a Tiger.

Assorted Marinated Meat Platter, this is another specialty of Cantonese cuisine. Usually, the platter will consist of Goose Gizzard, Liver, Claws, Goose Eggs, and Tofu.
These are usually marinated in brine and then a dip condiment akin to vinegar is used to serve. It's really good as a starter dish, opens up the appetite so much so that once you start, you can't stop!

This fish soup has not failed to live up to the high standard menu. The ingredients are again, very complete.

Dessert is red bean soup, I was surprised to find the black bits in the soup are Kelp, this is the first time I'v eaten sweet tasting kelp.

After a full run down of Cantonese Shunde Cuisine, what are your thoughts? When it comes to food, are you the kind of person to try new foods, or are you the kind to stick with what you know? Let me know!
