Guangzhou people love to eat and will eat. Every time I go to Guangzhou, my friends always drive around to eat at the expense of travel-stained, and every time they are refurbished and taste different, so they eat contentedly every time. After eating this time, they are still thinking about the next time. When it comes to eating in Guangzhou, many locals always like the special food there. They went to Guangzhou more often, and even I, a foreigner, was infected. Every time we meet, the first sentence is "Where are we going today?" What's delicious? "
■ Free meals.
The first time I followed a group of fair-weather friends into a typical Cantonese restaurant in Guangzhou, I almost got a fright-what a scene! There are hundreds of tables in the huge hall, and there is no isolation such as screens. It was steaming full of diners, and suddenly I felt my appetite increased greatly.
I sat in a big circle, looking at the environment, service and style, thinking that someone must take the lead and be slaughtered. I am proud-I am a guest anyway, just waiting for food. A handsome guy in Guangzhou picked up the menu, jabbered with the waiter in Cantonese that I didn't understand a word, and decided on the menu. When the dishes came up one after another, I realized that all the special side dishes were pigeon, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, fried chicken feet with salt, boiled cabbage, duck tongue and the like, oil goose intestines, tofu wrapped in pot, noodles, sausages, fried rice noodles, wonton, boat porridge, vermicelli and other snacks. Finally, I specially served China Rana with papaya. I can't help but admire the cleverness of the host and envy the eating ability of Guangzhou people. The local characteristics are very strong and it doesn't cost much.
Later, I went to Guangzhou more often and found that eating in Guangzhou was like this. The scene is big, the noodles are strong, the characteristics are strong, the cost is not high, and it is delicious and affordable.
■ Go up and down the nine roads and eat your stomach.
My friend saw that I had a soft spot for snacks and even said that I was going shopping! It turns out that the most famous snacks in Guangzhou are snacks. There are many old shops specializing in snacks, which have a long history and are even more famous than regular hotels. The most famous is Shangxiajiu Road.
Shangxiajiu Road is always so busy and crowded. If you can't even wait for a seat at the weekend, you will go at noon 1 1 later, and you will line up behind the old lady. The first time I walked on this famous street was at noon, and I almost got separated from my friends in the crowded crowd. Several times, I gave up because I was desperate to wait for a seat. Those leisurely old people and married couples with children sit down to drink tea and enjoy it slowly. It looks like a street painting of life in Guangzhou.
The most popular radish on the street is beef offal, which costs three yuan a bowl. Is it delicious or not? There are also the famous Xiguan cuisine, Bula rice rolls, the famous foodies in Liwan, Xiajiu Road, the homemade noodles, shrimp wonton and dumplings in Europe, and the double-skin milk, ginger milk and Samsung soup in Nanxin, all of which are delicious and not expensive. Fried rice pasta, including salty pancakes, dates, crispy beef and crispy dough twists, is a traditional snack.
■ Don't miss the "two" powder.
Rice rolls is a must in Guangzhou, and it is the first to promote the old brand "Yin Ji" on Wenchang Road, which is the most authentic. Rice rolls there has a beautiful appearance, specializing in rice rolls sauce beef, which is famous for its thinness, toughness and smoothness. Rice rolls is a rice product, also called bra steamed rice rolls. Put the rice slurry into a special multi-layer steamer or cloth and steam it into thin skin one by one, then add meat, fish fillets, shrimp, etc. Serve, steam, roll into long strips and cut into plates.

Rice rolls is also called juanfen and pork powder, and a good rice rolls is "white as snow, thin as paper, shiny, smooth and delicious".
My friend took me to Panxi restaurant next to Liwan Park by bus No.8, saying that rice rolls and Seto rice there were also excellent. Seto powder is made of pure rice pulp, packed in a cloth bag and squeezed by hand into strips the thickness of the tail finger, which are smooth, fragrant and thick. Eat with lard residue, pickles and Chili powder.
■ Fish balls as afternoon tea
Speaking of desserts, Nanshun double skin milk on the second floor of Guangxin Bayer is a famous food in Shunde. The green bean paste of Kaiji is the best. It is made of smelly grass, dried tangerine peel and shelled mung beans. It's so slippery and fragrant! And the almond paste and sesame paste there are all ground by hand. There is a small shop next to Renmin South Road called "Emerald Coconut Forest". The most famous is coconut milk paste, which is full of coconut fragrance. Besides, the Xiguan Family in Liwan Square is also a good place to taste Guangzhou snacks.
In the afternoon, my friend dragged me to climb Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou, saying that I could try the famous "Baiyun Mountain Tofu". After climbing for more than an hour, I finally reached the top of the mountain and saw many people eating with bowls. I also began to drool and hurried by. It turns out that this "Baiyun Mountain Tofu" is tofu made from the spring water of Baiyun Mountain. When it is eaten with honey water, it is smooth and sweet, which makes the tired body feel refreshed after climbing. With fish balls, it is afternoon tea! I also had a weekend life in Guangzhou.
■ Dazui goes to eat outside Guangzhou
Now Guangzhou people have spread their taste buds to places outside Guangzhou, such as Zhongshan, Foshan, Shunde and Zhaoqing, all of which are food paradise within an hour's drive.
When it comes to eating Cantonese food outside Guangdong, many of them are raw and fierce seafood with Chaoshan flavor. In fact, Shunde is the first choice for authentic Cantonese cuisine. Many of the famous Cantonese restaurants in Guangzhou and Shenzhen are run by Shunde people. Guangdong cuisine is famous because there are chefs in Shunde, and Shunde cuisine is famous because of stir-frying.
A road from Guangzhou to Shunde is called "Gourmet Road" by Guangzhou people. It takes only 20 minutes to go west from Haizhu District of Guangzhou, cross Hedong Bridge and cross expressway on the west line of Guangzhou-Zhuhai, and then you can go down to Bigui Road in Shunde, and the Daliang District where Shunde cuisine gathers is just ahead.
Our journey of eating also starts from here. From small fry to snacks to nine baskets, the styles are exquisite. Fried water snake slices, pheasant rolls, boneless eel, six-flavored stewed long fish, Lecong fish rot, Jun 'an fish cake, Longjiang Misha meat and Fengcheng stuffed melon are all famous dishes in Shunde, and Shunde people's "esophagus" is well-deserved.
You don't have to have a big dish. Light cooking is the most satisfying. One of them, Da Liang Chao Milk, left a deep impression on me. It is made by mixing fresh milk and egg white, adding crab meat, shrimp, chicken liver, etc., which is fresh, tender and full of flavor. Shunde's beef offal is famous. There is an old-fashioned "Macy's giblet" in front of Qinghuiyuan, and we haven't let it go yet. It is said that there are Hong Kong people who drive here to try it!
Double skin milk is a famous snack in Shunde, and its famous time-honored brand is Renxin Laopu, which has a history of more than half a century. Besides, Ren Xin's Nannai Peanut, Lunjiao Cake, Jinbang Milk, Longjiang Fried Dumpling with Glutinous Rice Flour, Popcorn, Fried Peanut with Sugar Water, etc. are all famous snacks in Daliang. Going to Shunde for a big meal is really a great pleasure for a person like me who likes cooking and dessert!
