At first glance, Guangdong Provincial Government Restaurant appeared to be yet another miserable government-run restaurant with underpaid and uninterested staff, but once the dim sum came out there was a sense of relief. Had we finally found a Prov Gov worth coming back to?

The barbecue pork buns (RMB 18) were brimming with the eponymous sweetened pork. The same goes for the Hong Ma barbecued pork puffs (RMB 18) that were gone within a split second, calling for a swift second order. The mushroom and vegetable buns’ “less bun, more stuffing” approach was also highly appreciated; dim sum is not known for its vegetarian dishes but these treats make a great addition to any order. Finally, the steamed shrimp dumplings tasted fresh and natural – no faffing around with these dumplings, not too much dough, and no unnecessary flavoring.

The only serious disappointment was the steamed vermicelli roll (RMB 23), in this case it made using really thick vermicelli with barely any stuffing. The limp rolls were left to the side, untouched.
