Best Halal Food in Greater Pearl River Delta: Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macau Muslim Food Map
Reposted from the web
Summary: This Greater Pearl River Delta halal food map covers Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macau, with mosques, Muslim-friendly restaurants, Cantonese food notes, and local halal dining details.
Guangzhou has one of the oldest histories of Islam in China. It is home to the country's oldest mosque, Huaisheng Mosque, which was built in 626 AD. Cantonese cuisine is highly skilled. High-end Chinese restaurants in Beijing often focus on Cantonese dishes, and many northern chefs have traveled south to learn from Cantonese masters. Muslim friends (dost) visiting Guangdong should not miss the chance to try authentic halal Cantonese food.
1. Guangzhou Hui Muslim Restaurant
This is a long-standing halal Cantonese restaurant that has been open in Guangzhou for half a century. It is quite well-known among the locals.
The rose tea here has a light and fragrant taste.
Cantonese soup is made with great care. People in Guangzhou love slow-cooked soup, so you must choose a soup to try when visiting a Cantonese restaurant.
The stir-fried beef with vegetables is light and not greasy.
This was my first time eating barbecue pork buns (char siu bao) made with lamb.
Roast goose is a famous Cantonese dish. The meat melts in your mouth and is rich but not greasy.
There is a halal seafood restaurant at 141 Xiwang Road in Guangzhou.
I saw it on my way to Xianxian Mosque. The environment is nice, and it has a decent reputation on Dazhong Dianping.
There is a halal market around Xianxian Mosque every Friday for Jumu'ah.
If you have time, you can go take a look.
Address: Yuexiu District, Guangzhou
Zhongshan 6th Road
(Take Exit A of Ximenkou Metro Station, turn left, and walk 50 meters to arrive.)
2. Shenzhen Northwest Leader Sheep Barbecue
As far as I know, there are no halal restaurants in Shenzhen with a Cantonese style. Several large halal restaurants, such as Zhongfayuan and Bayilaoye, serve Northwest Chinese cuisine, and there are also Turkish restaurants.
People in many parts of the south love eating stir-fried rice noodles (chaofen), and this shop makes them quite well.
Address: Room E05, 06, 1st Floor, Buildings 5, 6, 7, 8, Yilida Village, 2013 Nanshan Avenue (directly opposite the China Southern Airlines company).
3. Bayilaoye Xinjiang Restaurant
Bayilaoye is now popping up all over the country and is incredibly popular. Their signature dishes are pilaf (zhuafan) and barbecue (kaorou).
Address: Room 101, South Building 1, Zhongxing Zhijia Shops, Nanshan Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen.
4. Foshan Xinyue Muslim Restaurant
Xinyue Muslim Restaurant is a well-known halal chain in the Guangdong region. They specialize in Northwest Xinjiang-style dishes, though they have made some adjustments to the flavors.
The dining hall is spacious. It is not easy to find a halal restaurant this large in Foshan.
Stir-fried green vegetables (qingchao qingcai).
As soon as I arrive in the south, I crave barbecue.
Maybe I came at the wrong time, as they only had lamb-filled dumplings left.
There are branches of Xinyue Muslim Restaurant in both Zhuhai and Guangzhou.
Address: No. 11, Wufeng 4th Road, Zhangcha, Chancheng District, Foshan City.
5. Zhuhai Dianji Flavor Restaurant.
This restaurant in Zhuhai serves Henan-style food. There is no halal sign outside, but you can find the sign inside the lobby. If my friend hadn't led the way, I would never have found this place.
The space inside is very large and they offer a wide variety of dishes.
Tofu with scallions (xiaocong ban doufu).
Shredded potatoes (tudousi) and shredded radishes (luobosi).
Stir-fried beef with onions (yangcong chao niurou).
Address: Inside Yidianjiuzui Hotel, Gangchang Road, Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province.
6. Hong Kong Islamic Centre.
Hong Kong has five mosques. The earliest Muslims here were Indian Muslims who came as laborers, and they funded the construction of the mosques. The Islamic Centre on Oi Kwan Road is a multi-functional mosque. It hosts religious classes, and there is a halal restaurant on the fifth floor that is open to the public.
This is the first halal Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong.
Most of the people dining here are Muslims.
These Cantonese-style dim sum dishes are all prepared with great care. I can finish this whole table by myself.
When traveling, I prefer these small portions of food because they let me taste a variety of flavors. The average cost per person here is about 100 yuan.
I have attached the restaurant's contact information. Muslims visiting Hong Kong should not miss this place.
7. Macau Arabic Barbecue.
Macau is even smaller than Hong Kong, but it also has a mosque. Every Friday for Jumu'ah, an imam is sent from Hong Kong to lead the prayer. This kebab guy is Egyptian.
When traveling abroad, I am very happy to find a kebab stand, and I always order two portions at once.
Address: In the alley near the White Horse Store (Bai Ma Shang Hang) on New Road (Xin Ma Lu) in Macau. You can see St. Joseph's School when you enter the alley.
8. Macau Loulan Ramen Restaurant
This is the only ramen restaurant in Macau, but it is run by Uyghur people. The chefs and servers are Indonesian, yet the food they make is quite authentic.
The girl wearing a headscarf is an Indonesian working in Macau, and she does not speak much Chinese.
This standard Hong Kong halal certification mark is very strict; the shop must be completely alcohol-free.
This is fig juice, which is sweet, refreshing, and thirst-quenching.
Xinjiang cold dish, the taste is no different from Xinjiang restaurants in mainland China.
I chose a portion of diced stir-fried noodles (dingding chaomian). The shape of the noodles looked very authentic, and the taste was delicious. If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed these were made by Indonesians.
Address: Shop A, Ground Floor, Longzhou Garden, No. 169, Rua de Cinco de Outubro.
