Guangxi-Style BBQ in Shenzhen: Unique Grilled Beef Skewers & Sweet-and-Sour Noodles

As someone from Guangdong, I always assumed that BBQ across China was pretty much the same, with the main differences being whether it was spicy and what ingredients were used. But my recent visit to this Guangxi-style BBQ restaurant completely changed my mind and opened my eyes to a whole new world of regional flavors.

Wu Zhuang Jiangsu & Zhejiang Cuisine at Yitian Holiday Plaza Pingshan, Shenzhen

To be honest, I rarely come to Pingshan. Most of the time, I only come here when my friends bring me, mainly because it’s quite far from the central areas of Shenzhen. Today was no exception—I came here because my bestie brought me along.

Yudu Laowei Seafood Noodles at Zhuoyue Center: A Review of the New Noodle Shop

There’s a new noodle shop on B2 of One Avenue ! When I first noticed the restaurant, I saw “Michelin” featured prominently in its advertising. To be honest, I initially assumed it was just a marketing gimmick. But I later heard that the restaurant has actually received Michelin recognition in Shanghai, which made me curious to see whether it could still live up to that reputation after coming to Guangdong.

Best Milk Tea for this Spring in Shenzhen: JuanCha’s Papaya Yogurt at King Glory Plaza

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-12

⚠️Attention: The branch I visited has permanently closed. However, the brand still has other branches in Shenzhen.

(First upload: May 9th, 2026; Updated September 12th, 2026)

I have to say, my favorite milk tea of this spring has finally appeared. It is so good that even someone like me, who rarely drinks milk tea, couldn’t stop praising it.

I’ve tried JuanCha before and always felt their drinks were quite unique. Some of their milk teas include spices, giving them a nostalgic, traditional aroma. I didn’t expect to fall in love with their drinks again this time!

🗺️ It’s located on the outdoor area, B1 levelof King Glory Plaza.
⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 09:00–24:00.

🏆 I sincerely recommend Juntea’s “Flowing Clouds” — Papaya Yogurt.
(If you drink it on-site, make sure they don’t put a lid on it, or the cream on top will get squished.)

The appearance alone is stunning: layers of cream topped with a piece of papaya, and the drink below shows a beautiful orange‑and‑white marble pattern that looks incredibly premium.

delicious milk tea

👍 The first sip is truly impressive.The milk fragrance blends perfectly with the papaya aroma, creating rich layers of flavor — slightly sour at first, then sweet, refreshing, and elegant.The yogurt is smooth and velvety, making it easy to drink several big sips in a row.

I personally recommend choosing less sugar, as the natural sweetness is already enough.

Besides the papaya yogurt, they also gifted me a fridge magnet — a tiny watermelon 🍉 said to be crafted using Tang Sancai techniques.

🌲 Environment
The environment has improved compared to before, with displays of tea leaves and spices.Both the stools and benches have cushions, making them comfortable to sit on.

I also just realized the walls are decorated with spice‑inspired ornaments, this is very creative. 🎍

📚 Overall Review

This milk tea completely exceeded my expectations. The one drink you absolutely shouldn’t miss this spring is this papaya yogurt. Go try it!
