Taste of history

Nan Yue Cantonese Cuisine Restaurant (南粤私房菜) is named after the style of its cuisine that comes from southern Guangdong province. The center of that area, Zhongshan city, prides itself as the hometown of revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925).

In fact, one of Nan Yue's offerings is what it calls the "marshal's banquet". One special soup (四物汤) on the menu, made with golden needle mushroom, black fungus, bean curd, and bean sprout, is said to have been invented by Sun himself.

Another specialty is the crispy "dragon fish"(脆龙鱼), which, according to the restaurant, is caught in streams in the mountains, and prepared to give it a very unique, fresh and chewy texture.
