In Shunde 顺德, one of the UNESCO Cities of Creative Gastronomy, there is roast goose, of course, and there is also flaming drunken goose. Many locals swear that 大地醉鹅 is the best place for this unique goose dish.
The dining hall was a large zinc roof shelter with additional al fresco tables under the rural night sky. 大地醉鹅 is popular - it was full house during our visit.
It's a casual, hyperlocal place, the kind of foodie experience I seek out when I travel. Banter provide the buzz and cheerful atmospherics common in casual eating places in Guangdong.
The menu is clear, simple and straightforward. There's signature drunken goose, goose feet, kidney, intestines. Others include mixed vegetables, winter melon, dried bean curd "bamboo", rice and noodle.
Yeah, minimum order is 1 whole bird 🤭
The goose come in a steel wash basin, chopped and 70% pre-cooked by pan frying in sauce. Not very pretty but homely with down-to-earth rural feel.
大地醉鹅 use goose slaughtered processed on the same day, so it is very fresh.
We had additional wings and feet / web.
Staff will come around to customers' tables to sauté garlic, ginger and scallion in oil, then add the goose, more sauce and empty a whole bottle of 30% alcohol red rice wine 红米酒 into the wok. There's option for one more bottle, if desired 🤭
Cover, flambéed and let it stew in the rice wine for around 20 minutes.
Now's a good time to break out that bottle while the goose stew in the sauce and red rice wine 🤭
大地醉鹅 is BYO friendly. They even provide cups and ice bucket.
After 20 minutes, add stock, stir and toss, cover and let the goose simmer for another 10 minutes to reduce the sauce and stock. The staff will do all the cooking.
Ready for digging in.
The pieces of goose were bony (goose bone is hard), meat was tender but chewy to the bite, with savoury flavours from the sauce and a touch of sweetness from the rice wine, as well as the goose's natural sweetness.
For this flaming drunken goose preparation, they use a leaner, less fatty breed known as 马岗鹅 (马岗 is a town in Kaiping county, Jiangmen city, Guangdong province).
Tender crunchy intestine, savoury from the sauces and a touch of sweetness from rice wine.
After finishing the goose, you can add stock to leftover sauce in the wok to cook vegetables and noodles to round up the meal.
