China Town, Johannesburg

If you want to try authentic Chinese food in Gauteng, you should come here – the bustling enclave of Johannesburg's Chinatown on Derrick Avenue in the eastern suburb of Cyrildene.

Wandering through these streets, the air vibrates with the cadence of spoken Chinese and other Eastern languages, a chorus of voices that orchestrates the rhythm of life here.

A collection of restaurants, grocers, and convenient stores stock produce and products difficult to find anywhere else.

A good spot for lunch here is Shun De. Ascending three flights of stairs to what feels like a foreign world, you'll find a menu that is extensive with plenty on offer.

I went for a pot of traditional jasmine tea, followed by a starter of stewed ox tripe cooked with chili and potato. And finally, a sweet and sour pork dish that came together with green peppers.

I'd highly recommend exploring and enjoying Cyrildene for yourself.
