China - Guangzhou Trip - Day 1 - Dim Sum Lunch at Chinese Restaurant Hotel Landmark Canton

PLEASE ASK PERMISSION BEFORE YOU RE POST MY PHOTOS ON TO YOUR BLOG. THERE ARE SOME BLOGGERS WHO DID NOT ASK MY PERMISSION AND REPOST MY PHOTOS WITHOUT THE COURTESY OF LINKING BACK TO MY BLOG. THIS IS LIKE STEALING. PEOPLE, I HAVE SPEND MUCH TIME TAKING PHOTOS AND DOING HOMEWORK ON MY TRAVELLING INFORMATION AND KINDLY SHARE THESE INFORMATION TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN THEM. IF NECESSARY I WILL POST SCREEN SHOT OF YOUR BLOG TO SHOW YOUR BAD MANNERS OF STEALING MY PHOTOS. THE MOST DISGUSTING THING THEY DID WAS TO SCREEN SHOT MY PHOTO AND CORP OFF MY BLOG TITLE AND REPOST IN THEIR BLOG.

From Haizhu Square Metro Station to our Hotel Landmark Canton is less than 5 minutes but do be careful when crossing the road. They are left hand drive so crossing is different from Singapore roads. Gotta look both sides really hard, we always looked the wrong side first and thought it was a one way street....lol.

As the hotel just renovated certain rooms on certain floors, we of course asked for the renovated room for comfort but cannot get the high floor cause those are not the renovated rooms. Have to settle for 13th floor (in Cantonese means sure live sure live) and they dont have 14th floor lift button in the lift, I guess 14 means sure die sure die so there's no 14th floor? We asked for river view, non smoking room too.

As our room will be ready only by 3pm, we headed to the second floor of the hotel's chinese restaurant and had a sumptous dim sum lunch.

They have english menu accompanied with pictures so do ask for the english menu if you cant read mandarin. Although we can read mandarin but we normally order our food in english back in Singapore so we have to have both menus in two languages to compare so that we are sure we order the right food lol.


Century egg porridge with lean meat - yummy

Char siew bao (BBQ Pork Bun)

Har Gow

Chee Cheong Fun or Steam rice roll with shrimp

Siew Mai
Do note that tea was based on per person and not per pot (although the tea comes in a pot but they will refill hot water to the tea leaves if the teapot is empty), so do ask for the tea menu if you dont know what to order. Tea can be as low as CNY8 per person to more than CNY48 per person depending on what restaurant you are in.
