煲煲掂风味煲仔饭餐厅(石岐店)

This is a popular restaurant for locals. It has been open for many years and attracts many tourists. No matter when you go, the restaurant is always full. The classic braised pigeon is a must-order. Tear the pigeon wings with your hands. The skin is crispy and the meat is smooth. You have to eat the whole pigeon to enjoy it.

We came to Zhongshan from Shenzhen to taste the food, so of course we had to try the famous braised pigeon in Zhongshan. When we asked the local taxi driver for his opinion, we took a taxi to this Cantonese-style clay pot rice restaurant. Because there were many round tables in the lobby of this restaurant, my friend and I could only sit at a shared table after we arrived. We ordered the braised pigeon in this restaurant, but we didn't expect the waiter to serve the dishes without looking at the order time. We waited for a long time but the dishes were not served until we urged them to serve the pigeon slowly. The practice of the restaurant bullying customers is really unfriendly.

1. The icon of cured meat clay pot rice has the aroma of rice and distinct grains. It is definitely above the standard. When it is served, I feel that there is less soy sauce. I need to add some to make it taste better. It is delicious! 2. Young pigeon, the skin is not crispy, but it is really tender. When the pigeon legs are torn open, the juice can be clearly seen. Hmm~ delicious 3. Barbecue pork and pickled cabbage fried noodles, average level, not amazing, not bad, so it is! 4. Garlic lettuce, average level of Cantonese cuisine, no special features, but the wok is really full. This dish is still hot after eating 5. Chicken bone grass and pork tongue soup, especially recommended, 17 yuan, the soup is clear and rich, but you have to drink it while it is hot, the taste will change after it cools down. No. 38 Dongming Road, Shiqi, Zhongshan, Ground Floor Business hours: 11:00-14:30, 17:00-21:00 There are quite a lot of people, you have to wait for a seat, no number is called, you are asked to find a seat by yourself, not very friendly to people with social anxiety There is a parking lot opposite the point, parking is convenient, 6 yuan for the first hour, and 2 yuan per hour after that. It's also OK. Overall, it's not bad

"Food in Guangzhou, flavor in Zhongshan"—the area around Sun Yat-sen Pedestrian Street is a foodie's paradise. The top recommendation is Baobaodian Flavor Clay Pot Rice Restaurant, located across from Holiday Plaza. This "fly-sized restaurant" serves braised pigeon for 28 yuan each, with such crispy skin that the meat bursts with the slightest tear. The meat is so tender and juicy that locals queue for a bite. Paired with a side of eel clay pot rice, the fragrant, charred rice crust perfectly captures the essence of "wok-fried" flavor. An 8-minute walk to Fengyuan Commercial Street, a time-honored local favorite. Yishun Milk's double-skin milk is a must-try. Its smooth, pudding-like texture, paired with red beans, is sweet but not cloying. Next door, Huizan Bakery's freshly baked almond cookies are sold fresh, and the rich almond fragrance is instantly noticeable upon opening the package, making them a perfect souvenir. For adventurous food lovers, don't miss the viral chrysanthemum cheesecake. Huangpu cured meat, a Zhongshan specialty, is wrapped in shredded cheese, creating a savory and fragrant cake with the delicate fragrance of chrysanthemum. For an authentic dim sum experience, head to Fu Zhi Zun Restaurant. Their "Raw Fried Young Pigeon" with a herbal broth base is a popular blend of tradition and innovation, attracting a steady stream of diners. For a late-night snack, try the night market stalls near Qijiang Park. Try Shiqi rice noodles with pork congee and a few skewers of grilled oysters to experience the vibrant atmosphere of Zhongshan nightlife. 📝 Day Trip Itinerary Morning: Arrive at Sun Yat-sen Pedestrian Street at 9:30 AM and begin your stroll from the Qijiang Bridge entrance, admiring the arcade architecture and taking some vintage photos. At 11:00 AM, visit the Xiangshan Commercial Culture Museum to learn about the pedestrian street's commercial history. Noon: Enjoy a pigeon lunch at Baobaodian at 12:00 PM. Arrive early to avoid the long lines. At 1:30 PM, walk to Fengyuan Commercial Street and enjoy double-skin milk for dessert at Yishun Milk. Afternoon: At 2:30 PM, visit the new Zhongshan Museum for an immersive experience of Xiangshan culture. At 4:00 PM, visit Xishan Temple for a prayer and photo opportunities within the ancient red-walled temple. At 5:30 PM, ascend to the summit of Zhongshan Park to await sunset and enjoy panoramic views of the old city. Evening: At 6:30 PM, enjoy dinner at Xingzhong Square. We recommend the seafood and pigeon from Nangang Fishing Village. At 8:00 PM, take a Qijiang River Night Cruise (approximately 60 yuan) to admire the dazzling lights of both banks. At 9:30 PM, after the Ferris wheel light show, purchase souvenirs at the pedestrian street night market. 💡 Hidden Gems Only Locals Know Every Friday and Saturday evening, an intangible cultural heritage market is held in the middle of the pedestrian street. If you're lucky, you might catch a performance of the provincial intangible cultural heritage "Drunken Dragon Dance." The dancers' drunken postures betray their martial arts skills. The almond cookie-making experience at the market is also a great opportunity for children. A 15-minute walk along Minsheng Road from the pedestrian street takes you to the Congshanfang Old Street District, home to Zhongshan's most complete collection of Qing Dynasty residential buildings. Hidden within the alleyways, adorned with blue bricks and gray tiles, are several niche cafes. I recommend the Tangerine Peel Americano at "Four Joys Coffee," a delightful blend of local specialties and coffee. Photographers, take note: the best lighting effects are achieved at 4 PM, when the sun slants across the arcade columns. The best spot for a night cruise on the Qijiang River is on the west side of the Qijiang Bridge, where you can capture both the Ferris wheel and the Qijiang River's reflection. 🛌 Accommodation Recommendation: A Journey Between Old and New We stayed at a very cost-effective hotel, the Tegao Business Hotel, about 2 kilometers from the foodie hotspot. The hotel boasts a unique décor! The ambiance is elegant, the service is warm and attentive, and the breakfast buffet is delicious and plentiful. We recommend the Executive King Room, priced between 190 and 210 RMB, including breakfast. The experience was fantastic! 🔚 Epilogue As the last light fades from the arcade windows, the story of Sun Yat-sen Pedestrian Street continues. It's not just a hub for shopping and dining, but also a vessel for the collective memories of Zhongshan residents. From the smoky aroma of juicy pigeon to the historical richness of the museum, from the modern romance of the Ferris wheel to the tranquility of the ancient temple's red walls, this old street embodies the inclusiveness and innovation of "Xiangshan Culture" with its diverse charm. Take this guide with you and discover your own memories of Shiqi! #LocalFood #RomanticDomesticTravelDestinations #SpecialHotels
