Entrance in peace and elegance [More pix of ambience]
It's a rare treat to find an excellent restaurant embedded in a mountainous park. But Guangzhou is blessed with one; the Songfeng Xuan (Tower in Pine Breeze) Restaurant, at Mingzhulou in Baiyun Park. Two of us from GZ Daily were there as the guests of Managing Director Mr. James Chen, hot on the heels of the Gotherberg crew, who'd been there only a couple of days before and who after months on the ocean were probably grateful for something other than seafood!. To our pleasure, we were served the same exotic banquet the intrepid sailors had enjoyed.
Properly prepared Cantonese fare is extremely healthy, with an emphasis on freshness that's not commonly found in many Western restaurants. Vegetables in particular, are served underdone to preserve their colour, texture and taste.

And what a banquet they serve. Barbecued eel, that old Cantonese mainstay boiled chicken – without the fatty white skin, a boiled spinach dish (yes spinach! not gok choy), a fish as tasty as was delightfully boneless, jiaozi served upside down and fixed to a thin layer of pastry.
The room was unpretentious, decorated in pale yellows with the usual tile floor. A large circular table in the middle and plenty of space around it. The restaurant can accommodate up to 1,000 people, in very tasteful surroundings. You wouldn’t know that from looking at it, but there are many private rooms, each with unpronounceable 8 syllable Latin botanical species names, some of which (eg. Clitoria Ternatea) really catch the eye. It must be fun trying to reserve them over the phone!
