Eating Guilin – Chunji

Sep28

Location: No. 12, Jiangan Road, Qixing District, Guilin, China / No. 21, Qixing Road, Qixing District, Guilin, China / 1/F, Nanxi Square, Chongxin Road, Xiangshan District, Guilin, China / 2/F, Jinshuiwan International Restaurant, Jinshui Road, Lingui County, Guilin, China / No.2 Middle Zhongshan Road, Xiufeng District, Guilin, China / No.1, North Zhongshan Road, Diecai District, Guilin, China

Date: August 6 & 8, 2018

Cuisine: Guangzhou Chinese

Rating: Big menu, great service, good food

_

The Guangzhou province city of Guilin is famous for its unusual and beautiful mountains.
1A0A4300
Like Elephant Trunk Hill (above).

While staying here, we went twice to Chunji Roast Goose, at two different locations — like most successful Chinese restaurants there are several locations in the same city.

1A0A4392-Pano

This location’s spacious interior.
1A0A4395-Pano
The kitchen was impressive to see.
1A0A4397
Look at the army of wok cooks!

1A0A4943
This is the second location frontage.
1A0A4946
And here we had a private room.

1A0A4387
1A0A4388
1A0A4389
Both shared the same Guangzhou style menu.
1A0A4400
Chinese beer, local I think.
1A0A4401
Chunji brings an hour glass to the table. If it runs out (30 min) before all your food has come your meal is free! I don’t think it ever happens with that army of cooks.
1A0A4405

Egg pudding/custard, soy sauce, salted steamed pork. A delicious dish we ordered twice. The egg has a lovely soft texture and the pork adds savory flavor.
1A0A4414
BBQ pork (char siu). This is the kind of sweet “candied” pork I really love. It was soft, rich, and delectably flavored.

1A0A4417
Glass noodles with mushrooms and egg. Pleasant.

1A0A4953
Beef of some sort with chilies.
1A0A4971
Pork and green peppers.
1A0A4420
Cauliflower. This was the second “version” of this dish they made. The first had bits of pork in it and was delicious. This was properly vegetarian but flavored mostly with soy sauce and was a bit salty.
1A0A4429
Bamboo shoots with spring onions and pork. This wasn’t supposed to have meat either, but they included more of the “sneaky meat.” I do have to say, it improved the flavor.
1A0A4956
Shredded potatoes and vinegar. I love the slightly sour quality of this dish.

1A0A4964
Cabbage.

1A0A4431
Stewed tofu (with sneaky pork). The kind of pan fried tofu in a light broth.

1A0A4957
Bean curd. Not my favorite version of this dish as it was a bit dry, but I do like the texture of this scum from the soy bucket bean curd.

1A0A4435
Beer fish. This is a local specialty. Fish braised in a sauce of tomatoes, beer, and chilies.
1A0A4960
Steamed fish. Blander.

1A0A4424
Vegetable fried rice. Always a favorite. Meat version is better, but any fried rice is good.

1A0A4408
Toffee taro. Chunks of taro deep fried and coated in syrup. They tasted just like glazed donut balls. Delicious and rapidly stick together.

1A0A4968
Toffee water chestnuts. Same think, different “filling.” I liked the crunch of the water chestnuts. Tasted very slightly less desserty.
1A0A4978
Durian puffs. Flakey buttery dough filled with durian paste. These had a very strong durian (petrol) flavor. I find it really delicious at first but the aftertaste wears on me.
1A0A4439
Fruit plate.

Chunji does a very good job. Service was solid and they have a big menu that seems well executed as most dishes were delicious. I don’t have that much experience with Guangzhou fare although certain dishes are familiar to me from Cantonese.
