Minxin Double-Skin Milk (民信老铺)

Minxin Double-Skin Milk (民信老铺) is a long-established dessert shop in Daliang, the historic centre of Shunde District in Foshan, Guangdong Province, credited by many locals with helping to popularise double-skin milk, the signature sweet of Shunde. The address given in listings is No. 119 Huagai Road, while a second listing gives No. 131 Daliang Street, so visitors should confirm the branch on Dianping before setting out. This is a dessert shop rather than a restaurant with a chef lineage or Michelin recognition; its reputation rests on decades of local custom and on a short menu built around water buffalo or cow's milk and egg white. Double-skin milk is the emblematic dish: milk is heated, cooled so that a skin forms on the surface, poured off, mixed with egg white and steamed until a second skin sets, producing a soft, silky pudding served warm or chilled. Ginger milk, a sharper and warmer variation that sets with ginger juice, and fried milk, a crisp-shelled custard, are also listed and make good companions for first-time visitors. Some listings mention a small display museum dedicated to double-skin milk, which suits travellers curious about the dessert's history. The dining room is an informal, casual shop where customers order at the counter or a table, eat quickly and leave; there is no dress code, and noise is the ordinary bustle of a busy local dessert stop. Beverages are limited to tea and simple soft drinks, and there is no wine programme. Reservations are not needed and the shop operates on a walk-in basis; one listing gives hours of daily 9AM to 9:30PM, though these should be verified for each branch. Prices are low, roughly CNY 12-25 (about USD 1.80-3.70) per portion, making it an easy stop between larger Shunde meals. Visitors combining Daliang's food sights often pair it with a fish or dim sum meal nearby, using the dessert as a light finish. Queues can form at weekends and on public holidays, but turnover is quick, so waits tend to be short.
