Shengji Restaurant
胜记菜馆
A thirty-year Xijiang-style restaurant on Wenming Road, originator of the guozheng dish, with Taiye chicken as its signature.
Shengji is on Wenming Road in Duanzhou District. Local media describe it as a Xijiang restaurant that has been part of Zhaoqing life for about 30 years. Its storefronts line the street, and each one has a private room inside, so the strip is known as Shengji Food Street. The signature guozheng dish wraps eight meat and eight vegetable ingredients in shuye leaves and simmers them over firewood for more than three hours. Taiye chicken is smoked with brown sugar sauce and tea leaves, giving it a jujube-red colour, and is also called tea-fragrant chicken. Other dishes include fish-head hotpot with sauce and steamed coiled eel in black bean sauce. Southern Plus notes that quality is consistent and prices are reasonable, with single dishes costing about 30 to 50 yuan. It suits groups of three to five, and you should book a private room in advance at busy mealtimes.
