汇东假日酒店, Tianhe
The main objective to Guangzhou is not looking for the best local food here but actually I am here for business trip. So today I am meeting one of my supplier for my business and they brought us to this great restaurant which is located inside a hotel called 汇东假日酒店. The hotel seems to be not really well maintain but the food there is totally awesome. Read on and I will share with you more about it.

| Our supplier get a room for us to dine and the minimum spending for the room is CNY350. Not a lot actually. Easily achieved when you have at least 3-4 pax in the room. |

| Salmon Fillet |
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - Actually this restaurant is serving Sashimi but does not sell live fish for steam which normally what an older people who like to have. For me, I rather have sashimi but since they do not like eat raw food so we have the salmon to be grilled in fillet. The taste is so sweet and delicious. After all, it is from the fresh salmon.

Taste: 5/5
Overall: 4/5 - This plate is seriously not enough. It is finished within seconds. The inside is the smooth hot kaya filling with crunchy outside. I like this dessert so much.
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Outlook: 4/5 - Because the above two desserts were so delicious but hardly enough. We ordered another type of dessert. Their dessert is serving by dozen with the minimum of 1/2 dozen. So since 1/2 dozen earlier on was not enough, we ordered 1 dozen this time. This is another wonderful dessert. The bun is so soft with hot filling inside. The skin is full of melted sugar so this dessert is slightly sweeter than other desserts.

| Leek! - Sorry I opted out the moment I saw this dish. So I did not try any of this. |

| This is the hotel I am talking about. Not very sure of each of the dish price because it is not me who is paying the bill. But I do not the total damage was CNY600++ which I do think it is pretty reasonable and cheap because we did opened a bottle of red wine on top of this meal. |
