Theft and robbery cases frequently occur in Guangzhou. Security status might be improved with the Asian Games approaching.
Helpful advices are given to tourists who are going to visit Guangzhou as follows:
1. Remember to take legal cabs to hotels you reserve in advance when you arrive at the airport
2. Never walking on the street or go sightseeing alone at night.
3.Don't place over CNY 200 cash in your purses or pockets , don't carry briefcases or handbags to go shopping at night-time.
4.Do take metro instead of buses on which hidden pickpockets are sitting or standing.
5.Don't walk along narrow or crowded streets.

I have been to Guangzhou only seven times, most of the time with some friends from Malaysia. These friends loved Indian, Middle East and Turkish foods very much. They are good hunters of food. From Turkish lokantasi, South Indian unavagam to restaurants and they never failed to savour the taste and jotted down inside their notebooks. We have been to Delhi Darbar Restaurant near Shangxia jiu, the foods are OK but the service is quite slow. Indian Chef near Beijing Lu is also OK and the service is better. One of the best Indian foods I have ever tasted is Uncle Café is situated at Henjing Commercial Centre, near Huanshi Zhong Lu, about 15 minutes walk from the GZ Train Station. It was introduced to me by Mr Amir, who was a Second Attaché Officer of the Consulate General of Malaysia Office.

Unfortunately Uncle Café is just a small restaurant that cannot accommodate larger group of diners, may 30 persons at one time. Try Beriani with chicken tikka masala, and crispy fried chicken and end up with crispy nan bread.
