HONGTU HALL

The price of White Swan Tea is definitely the ceiling in the city. Dim sum is around 60 yuan, ordinary tea is 20 yuan, plus 15% service charge. As for whether the product matches the price, it depends on personal opinion. I think the food is basically exquisite and delicious, and the ingredients are fresh and the portion is moderate. Generally, people come here to change their taste when they are tired of other restaurants. The environment is undoubtedly elegant, and with high-quality service, it is a bit expensive to consume here, but it does give people a very comfortable feeling.

Hongtu Mansion of White Swan was successfully promoted to Michelin last year. The products are really great. Recommended dim sum: Yangcheng Fresh Shrimp Dumplings: The shrimp is fresh and delicious, and the skin is chewy and not mushy. It is a must-order dim sum; Swan Pastry: The shape is vivid and you can't bear to eat it. The filling is abalone + barbecued pork. Saqima with olive kernel: soft and glutinous without sticking to the teeth, full of egg flavor. After eating dim sum, you can also walk around the White Swan Hotel and admire the big koi in the pond.

Visiting Shamian Island in early winter and having afternoon tea at the Hongtu Hall of the White Swan Hotel at noon is a perfect match. The classic hometown water is already full of Christmas atmosphere, and the exquisite snacks are as great as always.

A thank you letter to the White Swan Hotel: August 16, 2020, is a big day for my husband and me. From the preparation to the day, because some of our relatives and friends came from other places, the room accommodation kept changing, and the reservation manager Qu did not mind the trouble to modify it many times, and smoothly settled the guests' accommodation; the moment we stepped into the hotel, whether it was the front desk or the guest room, the service and response to our needs were very timely, which made us feel comfortable. From the arrangement of the banquet venue, service, and the production of dishes, we and the guests also felt that it was worthy of being the "White Swan" in everyone's mind. Manager Liang and Miss Xue, who are responsible for banquet sales, will give experience and suggestions according to our ideas. Special thanks here, both in the early planning and follow-up on the day are very meticulous. There is also the housekeeper in charge of the banquet hall on the day, who contacted us a few days in advance, carefully and patiently understood the various aspects of the wedding on the day with us, and arranged follow-up one by one, which really made us feel at ease, and the night was also very smooth! Here we would like to once again thank all the staff who served us during the banquet. We are deeply attached to our hometown and miss it the most when we leave.

[Strong] This is an intangible cultural heritage project of Guangzhou. It is said that it has been lost for many years. At present, there are only a few hotels that can make this "Xiguan Water Water Chestnut" food. Now it is only available in Guangzhou White Swan Hotel. Morning tea is only available on weekends and lunch. The price is: 68 yuan/bowl. If you have the opportunity, I suggest you try it. It is absolutely handmade.

Guangzhou must-visit morning tea We arrived at the restaurant around 10 o'clock and waited for about half an hour before entering. Hongtu is located on the second floor of the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou. The environment of the White Swan Hotel is good, but the environment of Hongtu is average, and the river view of the so-called scenic spot is also average. "Yangcheng Fresh Shrimp Dumplings" Shrimp dumplings are still delicious, the skin is tough, and there are many shrimps inside. "Lanren Sachima" Sachima is relatively soft and the taste is average. "Abalone Chicken Feet" is recommended! This tastes great, and it is crispy but not mushy when bitten. "Crab Roe Steamed Shaomai" is now renamed Fresh Shrimp Steamed Shaomai, and the taste is okay, but not as good as shrimp dumplings. "Melting Skin Egg Tart" is Portuguese egg tart. The sweetness is moderate, and the puff pastry is quite good. "Abalone Swan Puff Pastry" is sold individually, the taste is okay, and the cost performance is not high. "Puff Pastry Barbecued Pork Bun" The skin is delicious, but the outer skin has pineapple oil, and the filling is also very sweet, and it is very greasy after two bites. The porridge of "Liwan Boat Porridge" is very thick and smooth, with just the right thickness and rich fillings. 💰Three people spent more than 500 yuan on dim sum, plus a tea fee of 25 yuan per person (still the cheapest and not very tasty chrysanthemum tea), plus a 15% service charge, a total of more than 700 yuan.

[Environment] The White Swan Grand Mansion is magnificent. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a whole wall of "Eighty-Seven Immortals Scroll", and a 12-meter-wide 7-layer lacquer carving craftsmanship: "Fairy music lingers, strings and pipes urge new things, but you can see the fluttering dancing sleeves, yellow clothes and green umbrellas, and how many fairies in the sky go to the Yaochi grand party". The large screen floor-to-ceiling windows have a beautiful view of the White Swan Pond, and the wide and bright hall has a crystal chandelier hanging high. Even if you just drink tea here, you will feel like a "king's feast". [Taste] White rabbit jade shrimp dumplings, black truffle steamed siu mai, crab meat dumplings, abalone swan crisps, ginger honey egg loose, ox tongue crisps, preserved vegetable barbecued pork buns, radish crisps, abalone chicken feet, various porridges, etc. are all popular flavors of the past. More than a dozen pleated shrimp dumplings, white as ice skin, plump and round, with whole large fresh shrimps in the translucent, with a small amount of fat pork, refreshing and chewy, sweet and fresh, especially the little pepper in the filling, which further enhances the taste of Old Xiguan. White Swan's sachima is already a well-known online dessert. This time I would like to recommend another traditional Guangdong dessert, ginger honey egg shaved, which is made of flour, gluten flour, eggs and lard, fried in a wok until golden, and eaten with maltose. Because egg shaved is fragile, it is also a metaphor for an insignificant little person in Cantonese. White Swan's egg shaved is thin, soft, crispy, and melts in the mouth, but it is not fragile, so it requires the chef's "control" and heat. Enjoy the egg shaved with ginger juice and honey in the morning to remove dampness and cold and moisten the intestines and stomach, suitable for all ages. Another less well-known but classic Guangdong delicacy, ox tongue pastry, is also the best in the city. Ox tongue, which means "ox tongue" in Cantonese, is called "ox tongue pastry" because of its shape, round at both ends and fat in the middle, like an ox tongue. Ox tongue pastry is golden in color, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a little toughness, sweet and fragrant without being greasy. There are not many restaurants that make ox tongue pastry now. I am very happy to eat such an authentic childhood snack in Hongtu Mansion. In terms of porridge, the pork run porridge is unmissable. The pork run pieces are thick and large, of high quality, and rich in meat. It is the best pork run porridge "without one", so it is not unreasonable for the old Cantonese to call "pork liver" "pork run". The abalone chicken feet are sufficient in quantity, the abalone sauce is of good color, and the appearance is attractive. The chicken feet are just soft and dripping. It takes time to drip "just right" every time. Pulling one by one between the tongue and teeth, the fragrance of the fingers and teeth is perfect for killing time facing the river view. "If I can eat 300 lychees a day, I will be willing to live in Lingnan forever." The old Cantonese people are not too lenient with the Suzhou style, because lychees can cause internal heat. However, the lychee jelly of White Swan is a refreshing stream in this summer, warm and smooth like jade, smooth and cool, with a light lychee fragrance, which instantly refreshes the whole person. In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, the cruise ship shuttles by without traces or waves. Outside the window, the clear sky is either full of colorful clouds or piled up like snow. It is really a magnificent "King's Breakfast".
