New Century Hotel Restaurant (新世纪大酒楼)

New Century Hotel Restaurant (新世纪大酒楼) is a Cantonese restaurant in Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong Province, about 120 m east of the intersection of Guihe Highway and Yongan Road. Nanhai lies west of Foshan's Chancheng core and is a large district of industrial towns, residential neighbourhoods and older market streets, so a restaurant of this type serves local families and business groups more than tourists. The cooking is Cantonese banquet style, and the listed dishes are salt-baked pigeon in casserole, baked shrimp in sauce and grilled pork chop. Salt-baked pigeon is a Cantonese classic in which the bird is cooked so that the skin is savoury and the flesh remains tender; here it is served in a casserole. Baked shrimp in sauce is a rich, savoury shrimp dish that suits sharing at a round table, and grilled pork chop is a Hong Kong-influenced Cantonese cafe favourite that appears on many local menus. No Michelin recognition or chef lineage is confirmed. The dining room follows the jiulou tradition of a large Chinese banquet restaurant, with round tables, big-group seating and often a lively, loud atmosphere at weddings and family celebrations, while ordinary weekday meals are calmer. Dress is casual to smart casual. Tea, soft drinks, beer and sometimes baijiu are the usual drinks, and no specific wine programme is confirmed. Reservations are recommended for banquets and large groups, and can be arranged by phone or through Dianping. Opening hours have not been verified. Spending is about CNY 80-160 per person (roughly USD 12-24), which is moderate for the region. Because the restaurant is on a highway junction, visitors usually arrive by taxi, ride-hailing app or car, and should look up the location in a map app using the Chinese name. Groups that order four or five dishes for a table can sample the pigeon, shrimp and a vegetable while keeping the bill reasonable.
