I think this is the place we ate, its called Nan Xing in Chinese. Excellent food! The beef noodle and wanton were fantastic. I tried the ginger milk, marvelleous! This place is packed with people, you have to share table most of the time. Else try to visit the place early in the morning. We were there at about 930am one of the mornings and had a whole table to ourselves. Must try!
Have you had milk from the USA that with plastic taste after you heat it up? Well, milk from water-bufallo in Guangdong China don't have this issue. If you tried their double-boiled milk dessert from this famous dessert store, you will notice not only the milk pudding is boiled to the perfect timing and temperature, it also does not have the after taste. It is smooth and creamy at the same time. Please consider this type of dessert when visiting this part of China. However, if you are not too crazy about creamy milk pudding, this may not be a nice taste.
We were shopping at shangxiajiu pedestrian street and came across this restaurant. It was crowded but we still waited. This restaurant is famous for its steam milk and it comes with different flavors. It can be sweet for certain people so to be safe I would recommend to try out the ginger flavor. They also serve food mainly chinese cuisine. Price is very reasonable and we definitely had a good meal. *PS don't bother about getting good restaurant service. Just read the menu, go to the counter to order and pay then eat.
We were out the whole day and we're pleasantly surprised that they serve food as well. We got here at about 8 and most of the dinner dishes were sold out. We had beef parts in fish soup, oysters sauce noodle and another noodle which I forgotten. After which we had the famous double skin milk dessert, seasame paste with glutinous rice ball and double skin milk with ginger sauce and double skin milk with something which I can't remember. They were all great! Definitely worth the trip here.
