Sheraton Guangzhou Hotel (China, Guangzhou)

Sheraton Guangzhou Hotel

Sheraton Guangzhou Hotel is located right in the heart of Tianhe central business district. In addition, it is located just next to Tee Mall; the most popular shopping mall in the city, built above the metro station; Tiyu Xilu (Line 1). Furthermore, the Guangzhou Sports Centre is just opposite the hotel. The Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is 40 minutes away.

Sheraton Guangzhou Hotel Lobby

The lobby was spacious and beautifully decorated. In addition, the staff are courteous and polite.

Night view.

Well, this is the toilet and this is the view from the room! From the bath-tube one can actually view the skyline of Guangzhou! Of course, you can press a button inside to 'block' this view.

Supermarket in Tee Mall

The supermarket is so much bigger and spacious compared to the one back home (Singapore). The aisle are so wide! In addition, they sell such a wide variety of food that there's even turtle meat and turtle shell (bottom right of picture above).

Busking

Busking outside Tee Mall. His singing was very good! Do not believe me? Well look at the next picture! (come to think of it, I did not see anyone busking except this one time)

A large crowd listening to the songs at 945pm. 2 rows seated on the steps listening. They must have been there for sometime.

Guangzhou Book Centre (Circled in Red)

Guangzhou Book Centre is located diagonally from the hotel. I was told that the whole building sells only books! Besides selling Chinese books which are the norm here, there are 2 private book sellers selling English Books. I also heard that one will be spoilt for variety here! (I did not managed to find time to visit the Book Centre as I was more interested in exploring the mall (supermarket), Shangxiajiu and also food!

East Dawning 東方既白 (China, Guangzhou)

East Dawning 東方既白 (Dong Fang Ji Bai) is a fast food restaurant created by Yum!Brands for Chinese Cuisine. The concept is to prepare the Chinese cuisine easily and serve it out quickly. Yum!Brands is a US company that operates and license out KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants globally. 

Currently, there are more than 20 East Dawning 東方既白 restaurants in China, mainly Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and Suzhou.

I visited the outlet at Tee Mall (just next to my hotel; Sheraton Hotel) which is the most popular shopping mall located at the heart of Guangzhou right above the metro station; Tiyu Xilu (Line 1). 

This is my first meal in Guangzhou. Due to the lack of time, I had to settle for fast food. I ordered the Signature Pork Noodles RMB 23 (S$4.60)

Pay RMB8 (S$1.60) more for 2 items. Why not? I choose the first one, egg tart and milk tea.

Signature Pork Noodle RMB23 (S$4.60) + Egg Tart and Milke Tea RMB8 (S$1.60)

Signature Pork Noodle RMB23 (S$4.60) 

The food was atrocious. What a start to my first meal in Guangzhou. The broth was salty. The pork meat was dry, hard and tasteless. The egg look fake and tasted weird. The noodle, cabbage and carrot was not any better. When I ate this, I started wondering where the food came from.. (enough said)..

The egg tart was just so-so. Milk Tea too sweet.

Skip this place even if you are in a rush, try other fast food. I am never eating at East Dawning 東方既白 again.

Mazazu Crepe (Liang Court)

Mazazu Crepe located at the basement of Liang Court specialises in serving crepes. It is the franchise of the Japanese chain; Mother's Crepe and Cafe. According to their website, they use their own proprietary recipe of crepe mix and whip cream (lower fat content, lower in cholesterol) that aims to create delicious yet healthy snack for every child. Looks like the perfect place to have a dessert after a meal at Saizeriya. 

 There are limited seats available and the place was packed.

Four staff in total in the small stall. Each had a respective role and worked like clockwork. They were able to churn out the crepes within less 5 minutes upon the order.

Strawberry Brownie Gelato $6.80

Strawberry Brownie Gelato $6.80

Ordered the Strawberry Brownie Gelato (choice of either vanilla, green tea or chocolate gelato, we chose vanilla gelato). The crepe instead of being served in a plate, was wrapped up like an ice cream cone. The crepe was soft with a buttery fragrant. Inside, it was filled with Vanilla Gelato, slices of Strawberry and a chunk of Brownie. The strawberries were very fresh and sweet. Overall, I thought that this combination of ingredients tasted great with the crepe. (in fact giving me gelato with the crepe will be make my day after any meal!)

Hot Choco Banana $4.80

Hot Choco Banana $4.80

The Hot Choco Banana was also delish. The combination of hot chocolate and banana complemented the crepe well.

Located outside Meidi Ya Supermarket, there was a constant crowd passing through the area. When I was there enjoying the crepe, I noticed that the crowd kept coming. Most people just take away their order and have it while on the go. Wrapping the crepe like an ice cream is such a good idea, it also result in cost savings from need more seating capacity to the need for plates. An interesting place to check out for desserts. (There's always room for dessert!)
