Hongxing (Super Star) Seafood Restaurant
Yidu Lu (facing the Pearl River)
Guangzhou
terms: cash
 We were walking along the Pearl River and we chanced upon this 3 floor restaurant and since it looked packed, we thought we would give it a try. As you enter the restaurant, you will see an ATM inside the restaurant. So you can already expect that meals here can cost quite a bit.
Once you are seated you will be given a order form and you should then proceed downstairs to choose your food. There are fresh seafood & ready made plates on display with the prices so you will know qhat you are getting. A hostess will escort you and help you fill up the order form.
Alternatively you can ask for a menu which would have "limited" choices
but would still have over 40 items to choose from. So if you think you
are going to have a problem when presented with too many choices, going
for the menu might not be a bad idea.
They also have a dim sum area to choose from upstairs.
While we werw there we were brought other people's dishes several
times. Hmm, I wonder if we had taken it what would have happenned?
 We had fried rice with eel (RMB 38). I found the rice a bit too crusty so it wasn't very good though the eel tasted quite good. The braised pork trotter with abalone sauce (RMB 42) saved the night and more than made up fot the first dish.
The abalone sauce made this totally out of the world and it was great
complement to the rice. My wife who is usually not a braised trotter
fan absolutely loved this dish. Yeah that's the picture of the trotter - looks like a nose doesn't it?
Our meal came up to RMB120 which was our most expensive meal in Guangzhou but we were certainly happy enough with the quality of the food.
