Day trip to Foshan Shun De - 了能菜馆, Oct Harbor Plus 順德歡樂海岸PLUS & Old street

Start the day trip to Shunde in Foshan at Qinghui garden museum. It is better to arrive early before the crowd comes, otherwise, you will only be people watching. 

Across from the entrance of Qinghui Garden are food stalls and we found a stall that served a simple and flavourful beef offal soup with radish that was extremely comforting and the radish, daikon, was wonderfully soft. Dipped in their chili sauce, each bite of offal packed a punch. Unfortunately, I don't know of the shop name but if you do get to walk pass the shop, be sure to try!

Le Neng Restaurant, 了能菜馆, is recommended by my local friends. Not only is their food yummy, it's also huge in portions. If you are a fan of soups, they have soups boiling in claypots and after seeing them, you will be tempted to order one. We didn't order as we were there for their seafood.

There's pictures on the wall that you can point to if you can't speak chinese or cantonese. Take your time and decide what you want to order. Be aware that food are ordered in grams so ask for an estimate price of the dish so that you aren't shocked by the final bill.

Sandworms were in stock and we ordered them to try.

We headed off to Shunde OCT Harbour PLUS in the evening for dinner at Lao De Shun in the outdoor area. This place is a mini town in it's own and worth the while to spend a few days here with kids as there's an amusement park in the compound.

There's a plethora of restaurants and dessert cafes here. Deciding what to eat does take a while and we finally settle on Lao De Shun and ordered this meal for RMB699. 

Interestingly, this is Shunde's version of the Lo-hei that's commonly found in Singapore and Malaysia. I quite like this version because the raw fish is more than the vegetables. The fish used is different from ours too, which is usually salmon or abalone.
