Chan Tim Kee (Shifusanshang Branch)
陈添记·祖传爽鱼皮
A time-honored Xiguan snack shop hidden in a small alley off Baohua Road, where the crispy fish skin, steamed rice noodle rolls, and Tingzai porridge are local favorites.
Chan Tim Kee is tucked away in Shifusanshang Alley off Baohua Road in Liwan. Its signature dish is the ancestral crispy fish skin, which is crunchy and free of any fishy taste. Pairing it with steamed rice noodle rolls in soy sauce and Liwan Tingzai porridge makes for an authentic Xiguan snack meal. The shop is simple and rustic, and you often have to queue for over ten minutes. There are other fish skin shops in the alley, so be sure to look for house number 2-2. The average cost is about CNY 26 per person, making it a great stop while exploring Yongqing Fang or Shangxiajiu. It is about a 330-meter walk from Exit D2 of Changshou Road Metro Station, or you can take a bus to Baohua Road Station.
