There is a saying in Shunde '食在广东,厨出风城' which means when you eat in Guangdong, you are actually eating in Shunde, in reference to the many great chefs in the Guangdong province who originated from this small town.

One must-try is the ShuangPiNai or Double-Skin Milk. It is a famous cantonese dessert that originated in this town. It tastes a bit like custard and can be eaten hot or cold, or mixed with other desserts.[4].[5]

Drinking traditionally begins at dinner and spills over to local bars afterward. KTV (karaoke) is a popular past time, and is as much about the beer as the singing. Friends Club ("You Huai" in pinyin) in Daliang is a fabulous place to watch the stage show, dance, and play dice - the most popular drinking game in Shunde! A hint: buy beer by the dozen, it's much cheaper!

If beer isn't your taste, try the Chinese rice wine...clear and strong!
