Dinner at Xin Wen Ji, Guangzhou – A Feast of Classic Cantonese Delights

For dinner, I visited Xin Wen Ji (新文记) in Guangzhou, a well-loved spot for authentic Cantonese flavors. This place is known for its classic, home-style dishes that bring comfort and satisfaction. I started with their signature roast goose, featuring crispy, golden-brown skin and succulent meat that was perfectly seasoned. The balance of smoky and savory flavors made it an absolute standout. Next was the steamed fish, a must-try in Cantonese cuisine. The freshness of the fish was complemented by a light soy sauce and fragrant scallions, highlighting its natural sweetness. Another highlight was the claypot rice with Chinese sausage, a dish packed with aroma. The rice, cooked to perfection, had a deliciously crispy layer at the bottom, infused with the rich, savory oils from the sausage. I also tried the stir-fried greens with garlic, a simple yet flavorful dish that added a refreshing contrast to the meal. Xin Wen Ji captures the essence of Cantonese dining—fresh ingredients, simple yet refined flavors, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. If you're in Guangzhou and craving traditional local cuisine, this spot is a must-visit! #discoverchina #cantonesecuisine #guangzhoufood #foodieadventures #guangzhoueats #xinwenji
