A taste of Guilin and Yangshuo

Sister Xie Intangible-Heritage Beer Fish (Diecui Road)

谢大姐非遗啤酒鱼(叠翠路店)

A beer-fish kitchen trading on its intangible-cultural-heritage credentials and an older, more local style of the dish.

¥55–75≈ US$8.19Ranked ninth on Ctrip's Yangshuo 美食必打卡榜Yangshuo, Diecui Road

Why come here

A place worth making time for

No. 9 on Ctrip's Yangshuo must-visit food list, rated 4.6. The restaurant's own intangible-heritage claim is not something I could verify on an official register.

The house favourites

What to order

Point at the Chinese. Staff will understand it even where the menu has no English at all.

  • Beer fish (啤酒鱼)
  • Stuffed Li River snails (酿田螺)
  • Fried river shrimp (漓江小河虾)

What it actually tastes like

Skin-on, scales-on fish again, with bones. Pickled chilli heat rather than numbing spice.

Allergens in this kitchen

This is the kitchen, not one dish. Woks, fryers, blanching water and utensils are shared in almost every Chinese restaurant, so for a serious allergy treat the whole premises as the unit rather than ordering around it.
