Delicious Food in Heshan & Heshan Cuisine of Guangdong

Traditional Heshan locals love stir-frying this staple with cured pork slices, shredded Chinese cabbage and celery over high heat. It is a perfect blend of meat, vegetables and starch, serving as both staple food and a scrumptious dish.

Besides the well-known plain rice dumplings (Baishuijiao) and fried rice cakes (Nuocibi), there are various pastries such as peanut cakes and turnip cakes.

To make plain rice dumplings: place fillings made of pork, roast pork, fish meat, turnip and pachyrhizus onto the wrapped rice dough, fold it in half and pinch the edges tightly, forming pretty, tasty plain rice dumplings.

The prices are very reasonable. A platter of pastries costs around ten yuan, enough to feed two people.

As Heshan’s first iconic restaurant specializing in pigeon dishes, Pigeon World fully lives up to its great reputation. Diners travel here from Guangzhou, Nanhai, Shunde, Jiangmen and Gaoming, making the brand extremely famous. There is an old folk saying: "One pigeon is better than nine chickens." The three classic ways to cook young pigeons are braised in brown sauce, stewed in pot and cooked in soy sauce, yet this restaurant offers "Thirteen Ways to Cook a Pigeon". Braised pigeon locks in moisture best; stewed pigeon delivers tender, sweet meat; soy sauce pigeon retains the pigeon’s original savory essence. Braised young pigeon is the most popular order here, featuring crispy skin, tender juicy meat and an irresistible fragrant taste that leaves a lingering aftertaste.
