Xiang Hui Food (祥辉饮食), Houjie

Xiang Hui Food (祥辉饮食) is a roast goose shop in Houjie Town, Dongguan, in Guangdong Province, China. It is located 100 metres east of the intersection of Xinxing Road and Shijiao Road (厚街镇新兴路与石角路交叉口东100米). Houjie is one of Dongguan's larger industrial and commercial towns, and it has a strong local tradition of Cantonese roast meats, of which roast goose is the best known across the Pearl River Delta.

The cuisine is Cantonese roast meats, and the signature dish is crispy roast goose (脆皮烧鹅). In the Cantonese style, the goose is marinated with spices inside the cavity, air-dried and roasted until the skin is thin, lacquered and crisp while the meat stays juicy. It is chopped to order and usually served with a small dish of plum sauce and, in many shops, a portion of rice or vegetables. A whole goose is typically CNY 150-250 (about $22-37), and half or quarter portions are available, which makes it practical for solo visitors and couples as well as families.

The atmosphere is that of a working roast shop rather than a formal restaurant. Expect an informal setting, quick service and a strong local trade in takeaway orders. Dress is casual and there is no wine or beverage programme documented; tea or soft drinks are the norm. The price range is mid-level ($$).

Opening hours are not published in the sources, but roast shops usually sell out by evening, so an earlier visit at lunch or in the late afternoon is the safest choice. Reservations can be arranged by phone on +86 769 8558 4045, and are worth making for a whole goose, since the birds are prepared in limited numbers. The shop is on the roadside near a junction rather than in a landmark building, so searching the Chinese name on a map app helps in finding the entrance.
