While in city of Guangzhou, I tried the egg tarts. There are many shops selling egg tarts. I especially like this shop that bakes its own tarts and other pastries. It is located at 文昌北 road. The name of the shop is called 'Sisters Bakery' (姐妹 烘焙). The nearest train station is chang shou road station. It is so nice that I went back to the shop twice. The price of the tarts was 5 RMB for 4 nos.
The difference between egg tarts in Guangzhou and in Singapore is that in Singapore, the tarts have a thick pastry base. While the tarts in Guangzhou are baked with thin crust that are almost in layers. The egg content is soft and tasty. Most of the time, the tarts are baked within the day of sale, hence freshness is guaranteed. I wished we could have this egg tarts at that price in Singapore.

Other than tarts and pastry, locals Cantonese like to eat porridge and 肠粉. In Guangzhou, the 肠粉 is thicker and there are ingredients such as pork and vegetable in it. A thicker layer satisfies the hunger but much effort is needed to chew. In shop serving 肠粉 to locals, the price of the dish can be as low as 6 RMB (S$1.25) which is a cheap breakfast and provides a filling food. The sauce is good too.

I also noticed that in Guangzhou, when a person ordered traditional wan ton noodle (传统云吞面），it is actually soup based. In Singapore, 云吞面 is usually not soup base, unless otherwise specified. See below. The shop is located very close to Sun Yat Sun Memorial Hall and the price of the noodle is 13RMB.
