Yao Ji

Yao Ji has been a household name in Panyu District for over 40 years. On the menu, classic Cantonese flavours work their magic in painstaking recipes that are a rarity these days. The sweet, steamed lotus root puree is sticky and chewy and well complemented by briny dried shrimps and aromatic scallion. Oyster sauce chicken is nicely browned and boasts an inimitable umami flavour thanks to scallion and ginger.
