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.

Matcha Lab Luohu Review|Snowball Ice Cream Flavors, Service & Store Experience

Cheryl Kong | 2026-09-20

Who would have thought that the ice cream at Matcha Lab would turn out to be unexpectedly delicious? I always thought they only sold matcha drinks, so I was genuinely surprised to find out they also offer ice cream.

📍 Practical Information

Name of the Store: Matcha Lab(抹茶实验室)

Location: 深圳市罗湖区大中华环球经贸广场107;Shop 107, Great China International Trade Plaza, Luohu District, Shenzhen

Nearest Metro Station: Luohu Station, Line 1 — station exits nearby; Renminnan Station, Line 9 — 140 meters from Exit B

Price: ¥20 per person

Opening Hours: 10:00–23:00

🍃 Environment & Service

Located at the Great China Global Trade Plaza near Luohu Port, Matcha Lab sits in a prominent street‑side position with heavy foot traffic.The shop looks small, but it actually offers plenty of two‑person seating. Even the wall on the left side of the entrance has a built‑in bench for extra space.The air‑conditioning wasn’t quite cold enough, but thankfully the ice cream helped cool things down. Service was excellent—both the staff members were gentle, polite, and welcoming.

🍨 Ice Cream Experience

Today I tried their Snowball Double Combo, which lets you freely choose two flavors.There are many options available, including chocolate, matcha jasmine, mint chocolate, and more.

🏆 Mango Passion Fruit Snowball

A refreshing balance of sweet and sour, with bright, fresh fruit notes that cut through any heaviness.

🏆 Coconut Sea Salt Snowball

A rich blend of sweet and salty, bringing out a deep coconut aroma.The flavor is smooth, fragrant, and pleasantly creamy.

Each serving also comes with a mini cone, so you can make your own tiny ice cream—super fun and adorable.

📚 Overall Experience

Overall, I had a enjoyable experience, especially because the ice cream was delicious. The air conditioning could have been better, though, so the shop may not be the most comfortable place to sit for a long time on a hot day. 😅

If you happen to be passing by and suddenly feel like having some ice cream, Matcha Lab is definitely worth a try. The glass storefront also lets you enjoy the view outside while having your ice cream.

Next time, I’d love to try their matcha drinks. In this hot weather, I’m always tempted by a refreshing iced drink! 🍵
