Roast Goose is Guangzhou's lacquered Cantonese roast bird, air-dried, seasoned, roasted until the skin turns brittle, then chopped and served with plum sauce or over rice. Order it as **"siu ngo faan, gaa mui zoeng"** (*roast goose rice with plum sauce*) or **"siu ngo seung pei"** (*roast goose with extra skin*) if the shop allows cut selection. The best Guangzhou versions balance crisp skin, rendered fat, clean meat, and a light sweet-sour dip; heavy five-spice or soft skin is a warning sign. Expect ¥35-70 for roast goose rice and ¥120-260 for a shared portion. The trap is ordering goose late at night from a display case: the first lunch chop is usually cleaner than a bird that has sat under heat lamps.
