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

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.

Durian Dessert Shop at Huangting Plaza: Fresh Malaysian Durian & Musang King Treats in Shenzhen

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-13

If you’re a durian lover, you might want to check out this place. There’s a specialty durian shop hidden inside Huangting Plaza in Futian, and it’s a real treat for durian fans!

📍 Practical Information

Name of the shop: Durian Pahang (彭亨马来榴莲)

Location: 深圳市福田区皇庭广场负一楼7A;Basement Level, Unit 7A, Huangting Plaza, Futian District, Shenzhen

Nearest Metro Station: 1号线会展中心站C口;Line 1 Convention Center Station, Exit C

Price: ¥90 per person

Opening Hours: 10:00–22:00

Durian Shop Shenzhen

Summer is the perfect season for durian, and this shop takes its durian seriously. They import fresh durians directly from Malaysia, and when I made a reservation, they even told me that I would need to wait for the next fresh batch to arrive. That gave me a pretty good impression of how seriously they take the quality of their durian.

🍦 Durian Ice Cream

The durian ice cream is creamy and refreshing, with a very rich durian flavor. It’s especially nice for cooling down on a hot summer day, and the portion is quite generous.

I also liked that the ice cream was completely filled and solid inside, rather than having a hollow center. 😆

🏆 Musang King Durian

The Musang King durian was served chilled straight from the refrigerator. It was sweet with durain auroma. Once you take a bite, the flesh is soft and almost melts in your mouth.

The portion looked quite small at first, but don’t let that fool you — after finishing it, I actually felt full. 😆

Thoughtful Service

The staff even served us a slightly bitter tea to help balance out the sweetness of the durian. The table also came with gloves and tissues. For a fruit that can be quite messy to eat, having gloves and tissues ready definitely makes the experience more convenient. 👍

More Durian Desserts to Try

Besides fresh durian and durian ice cream, they also offer other durian desserts, including:

  • Durian cake

  • Durian cream puffs

📚 Overall Review

I really enjoyed the experience. You can tell that the shop puts a lot of thought into the details, from waiting for fresh batches of durian to the little touches like serving tea, gloves, and tissues.

At RMB 90 per person, it isn’t the cheapest way to enjoy durian, but if you’re a real durian lover and want to try fresh Malaysian durian along with a few durian desserts, I think it’s worth a visit. And if you find the price a little high, you can always just try the durian ice cream — it’s a more affordable way to get your durian fix. 🍦
