Fulin Restaurant is located on Huifu East Road, Guangzhou's first food pedestrian street, which has more than 40 restaurants with different flavors within less than 500 meters, among which Fulin Restaurant is the veteran restaurant here.
Fulin Restaurant makes ordinary home-cooked food, but the level of production is well-known. Crispy pork knuckle is a famous dish of Fulin for more than 10 years, almost every table must be ordered, and it may be sold out if it is late. There are various recipes and flavors of pork knuckle, such as braised pork knuckle, white cut, abalone sauce, ginger, broken bones, plum blossom, etc., while the Western-style method of crispy pork knuckle rarely appears in Cantonese restaurants, and the method is quite similar to that of German salty pork knuckle. After roasting, the pork knuckle has a golden skin, the outer skin is crisp and crispy, and the lean meat on the inner layer is tender but not woody, and it is dipped in mustard sauce to relieve greasyness.
The dishes at Fulin Restaurant have been improved, and the unique approach is often impressive. Beef is generally used for stir-frying, and a dish of boiled beef in boiling water is blanched in boiling water, reflecting the freshness of Cantonese cuisine. Although the cheese noodles are not as fresh as the lobster, the sauce has a unique flavor, and the big dishes of the small shop are refreshing. In addition, pork neck with pineapple in chicken sauce, pork chop with salad dress, chilled eel slices, goose intestines with soy sauce and corn fish belly soup are also popular among diners.
As a long-established Cantonese restaurant, good taste, large portions, and affordable prices are its magic weapons for success. The price of 60 yuan per person is very rare in well-known restaurants, and the high cost performance has made it stand tall for many years.
The restaurant is located on the 2nd to 4th floors, and the interval on each floor is different. The architectural style is old and nostalgic, the tables and chairs are a little old, and the smell of smoke in the room is more prominent. The service is enthusiastic, but there is a shortage of staff during peak hours. Business is booming, and meals are often full, so if you want to avoid the pain of waiting for a table, it is recommended to go to eat at noon on weekdays. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the room is as low as 1,000 yuan, and more than two tables need to be booked two days in advance.
