About Liyin Rice Roll Master

Freshly ground rice batter steamed into silky, bounce-loaded sheets sets this Lonsdale Street counter apart. Regulars target the signature red rice crispy prawn roll—a crunch wrapped inside delicate rice pastry and sweet soy. Stir-fried flat rice noodles hit the table with true wok hei, alongside classic rooster bowls of seafood congee and a self-serve bar stocked with pickled mustard greens.

  • Daily Ground Rice Cheung Fun: Made from daily ground rice batter rather than dry starch mixes for thin, tender sheets with delicate elasticity.
  • Red Rice Crispy Prawn Roll: Combines a soft red-tinted rice wrapper, a shatteringly crisp fried interior, and plump prawns.
  • House Pickle Station: Complimentary self-service condiment station featuring house-pickled mustard greens and marinated peppers.

Why Choose Liyin Rice Roll Master

Why diners choose Liyin Rice Roll Master for authentic Guangzhou-style cheung fun and Cantonese classics

  • Freshly Ground Rice Batter Steamed to Order

    Cheung fun is freshly steamed to order using scratch-ground rice batter rather than factory sheets, yielding delicate, bouncy noodles that absorb savory soy seasoning.

    The rice sheets were perfectly thin with just the right amount of bounce and a distinct aroma of freshly ground rice—not mushy at all.

  • Multi-Textured Crispy Red Rice Prawn Rolls

    The venue pairs soft steamed sheets with a brittle fried layer and plump whole prawns, delivering a signature textural balance that contrasts with standard dim sum rolls.

    Silky on the outside, incredibly crunchy on the inside, and packed with generous prawn filling.

  • Stir-Fried Beef Hor Fun with Robust Wok Hei

    Wok-tossed flat rice noodles achieve intense wok hei with charred edges, tender beef slices, and crisp bean sprouts.

    It arrived at the table bursting with robust wok hei (breath of the wok). The flat rice noodles were beautifully charred and separated without being overly greasy or broken apart.
