This meal is called huo guo in Chinese. Huo guo means "fire pot". Yes, it is a meal cooked in a hot pot at the table. First you should choose two kinds of soup, as the pot is divided into two parts by the divider. Choose two kinds of soup out of 32. For example, lightly seasoned soup, hot chill soup, curry based soup, medicinal soup with traditional Chinese medicines. After choosing the soup, you should choose what you want to cook in the pot. You can choose from seafood, vegetables, meat, etc.

*I am sorry something was wrong with my camera, so the pictures are greenish.

Favorite Dish: Live prawn is very fresh. It is served on a stick so that you can hold the end of the stick and put it into the hot. Live prawn matches any kind of the soup you have chosen.
Very thinly sliced lamb is delicious, too.
Jiaozi ( dumpling with minced pork and vegetable stuffing) is good.

When we arrived Zhuhai along the road we see this food stall, my husband who is squid lover try there grilled squid for RMB2 per stick, he love the taste of freshly grilled squid, in 4 days stay in Zhuhai every day we visit this food stall, even my kids enjoy feasting on grilled squid. Try this you wont regret.

Unfortunately we have no picture inside the cafe because no camera allowed, As you can see outside the restaurant is elegant, the cafe found in 2nd floor, the restaurant is huge enough for a cafe restaurant, we ask reception desk of Popoko Hotel were we can have a good coffee and they recommend this restaurant according to the hotel receptionist this is the best coffee place town.
When the waiter gave us the menu we shock to find out the coffee price is much expensive compare to the famous starbacks coffee, about doble the price. We order some sandwiches and coffee, the taste of the coffee is like the cheap brand of instant coffee. I definitely NOT recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant's specialty is 'various kinds of mashroom'.
We Japanese eat many kinds of mashroom but they have a lot of mashroom that are not known to us.
We often sit around a hot pot at the table. The contents of the pot are usually fish and vegetables, or pork and vegetables, or beef and vegetables (this is called shabu-shabu in Japanese). But the contents of Jun Xiang Yuan's hot pot are mashroom and vegetables. A waitress stands by the table and puts various mashroom one after another. I had never eaten so much mashroom before. I had never had an experience that I got full only with mashroom.
The soup in the pot has been made from 'black chicken', which makes the soup very thick and delicious.
And what is the goodness of eating mashroom is that, however full you may be, you will not gain weight next morning.

Favorite Dish: The mashroom in the hot pot is of course delicios but I recommend you to order fried rice with pieces of mashroom also.

The name of this restaurant 'Dong Fang Jiau Zi Wang' is translated as 'King of Eastern Jiau Zi'.
As its name shows, they have many kinds of tasty Jiau Zi. You will find the diversity of the fillings of Jiau Zi, pork, mutton, fish, seaweed, etc. They have fried Jiau Zi, steamed Jiau Zi and boiled Jiau Zi. And they have many other Chinese dished other than Jiau Zi.
And what I should write is cheapness. For example, we ate 4 kinds of Jiau Zi, fried Tofu, fried vegetable, roasted pork fillet and drank beer. All these cost only 4 US dollars each!

Favorite Dish: Of course every Jiau Zi we orderded was delicious. You can choose what filling you like and the way of cooking it, fried, steamed, boiled.

This is the best ever restaurant I have eaten in China; or, say, since I started to work here. I enjoy ever single dish in this place; their service is outstanding also, that is one of the most important elements for a local restaurant; ambience is just like all the other Chinese restaurants, very boisterous to the foreigners but GREAT for the Chinese like us.

Favorite Dish: The crispy three-layer pork. This is a MUST try if you come all the way here. The skin is just perfectly oily, crispy, and nice. The pig blood reminds me of the food stand at the corner near my home back in Taipei; the Western style lamb chop is another good and new dish to this restaurant; the pork soup is sweet and conbines a lot of different aroma of pork, and yes, this is another reminder that make me think of Mr. Ho's peanut soup in Singapore.
Give this place a try if you come to Zhuhai.

Going for a walk you may visit one of the many food-stalls one of the side-streets. Actually I do not trust the street-food, though with my brother and his friends who know what to eat, it is a great experience.

One particular satay food-stall was the best !
And so cheap. 2 $ for so many meat ...

Favorite Dish: You can get here a delicious satay, absolutely wonderful roasted.

The bread with some meat and vegetables was super, too! Wow, a spicey one ...

There is also squid and grilled chicken ...
