Morning Tea Like a Local Pro ☕
"I thought breakfast was simple until I saw 30 dim sum varieties," laughs Absalom, now a har gow (shrimp dumpling) convert. Pro tip: arrive before 9 AM to watch grandmas expertly fold rice noodles at century-old teahouses.

Follow the sizzle to smoky street stalls serving zhenzhi niurou (juicy beef skewers) and crispy milk pudding – Shunde’s 500-year-old signature dessert that’s basically edible clouds.
Fish Feast 2.0 🐟
Don’t miss the shunde yusheng raw fish salad that’s gone viral this year, now with avocado twists appealing to global palates. "It’s like sushi’s cool cousin," says Absalom, chopsticks at the ready.
