Today we went to “Fuji Changfen Zhou”, belonging to the Guilin Good Luck Restaurant (which again belongs to our Chinese Fast Food Overlords “Guilinren”).
It is located quite convenient on the walking street between the Clock Tower and the Paulaner Biergarden. Our first impression is a pretty good one: No waitresses in front trying to get you in and the menu with prices is hanging on the wall. No trying to rip you off with a “foreigner menu” like Soup Town and many others like to do.
The furnishing is simple and functional, but by no means cheap looking. The kitchen is separated from the restaurant by some glass windows, so you can actually watch the staff prepare your food.
Back to the food. We had to order and pay directly after entering the restaurant. We (3 people) decided for:
Pork Chang Fen: RMB 7
Beef Chang Fen: RMB 5
Egg Chang Fen: RMB 3
Shrimp Chang Fen: RMB 8
Porridge: RMB 4
The food arrived pretty quickly. The Chang Fen were ok in taste but the Shrimp ones were a bit low on Shrimps, while the Pork ones somehow got an extra topping of salt. The porridge was good. Our favorite were definitely the Beef Chang Fen.
All together a nice little fast food restaurant, good when you need a snack, but nothing for when you are really hungry.
