LA | Hidden Jiangmen Cuisine Spot – Even with Long Waits!
I love Cantonese food, but even trips to Guangdong rarely take me beyond the popular hubs like Guangzhou or Shenzhen. So I was intrigued when I found a Hong Kong couple’s review of Wuyi cuisine in Southern California 🥢. Wuyi refers to five county-level regions in Jiangmen, Guangdong—Xinhui, Taishan, Kaiping, Enping, and Heshan. After seeing their behind-the-scenes kitchen clips, I was totally sold! The restaurant is tucked away, but that didn’t stop the crowds—inside was packed, so they set up a table for us in the small courtyard! 🌳 【BBQ Pork Rice Noodle Roll】 The rice noodle sheet is thin and pleasantly chewy, not mushy. The BBQ pork is honey-glazed and balanced well between sweet and savory. Light soy sauce makes it refreshing, not greasy. 【Sizzling Iron Plate Pig Intestines】 So aromatic! Served sizzling hot on the iron plate with a rich savory sauce 🥘. The intestines were clean and springy, stir-fried with onions and peppers—full of texture and flavor. 【Steamed Spare Rib Rice】 A Wuyi-style steamed rib rice that's different from the usual Cantonese version. Ribs are marinated in fermented black bean sauce, giving a gentle umami aroma. The rice absorbs the juices perfectly, with a light crispy layer at the bottom—so fragrant! 【Beef Offal Soup】 This looks so authentic and street-style! 🍲 Every piece is stewed till tender in a light, peppery broth that warms you up with each sip. 【Pan-Fried Rice Noodles with Minced Beef & Scrambled Egg】 Unique and delicious! Rice noodles are pan-fried till crispy like a noodle pancake, then topped with minced beef and soft scrambled eggs 🍳. Textures galore—crispy, tender, and savory all in one bite. 【Eel Claypot Rice】 Who could resist this? 😍 The eel is tender, not fishy, cooked in a classic Cantonese savory-sweet sauce. Mixed into the rice, every grain absorbs the rich flavor, with crispy, fragrant rice crust at the bottom—heavenly!
