There are several of them that you must try
Chen Tianji Shunde Smooth Fish Skin
Old Guangzhou people will have heard of it even if they have never eaten it. Chen Tianji's Cold Fish Skin, which has a history of more than 20 years, is hidden in an alley on Baohua Road. Stepping on the uneven stone tile floor and walking in, the small shop doesn't even have a decent storefront, a traditional old Ximen front. There are several tables and chairs at the entrance of the alley. Many people are sitting there tasting fish skin, and many neighbors are taking their bags home. It has a nostalgic feeling of old Guangzhou.
There are three items written on the sign at the door: cold fish skin for 24 yuan, chee cheong fun for 3 yuan, and boat porridge for 8 yuan. Its success lies in its exquisite taste. Many people come here to wait in line just for a box of smooth fish fillets. .
The fish skin is usually made of dace and grass carp. The dace is easy to taste and the grass carp has a crisp texture. Fish skin is rich in collagen and is good for the skin, so it is very popular.
A bowl of steaming and smooth Tingzi porridge, a combination of hot and cold, is even more delicious. The base of the porridge is cooked with the soup made by earth fish. After the porridge base is prepared, put some fresh fish fillets such as egg shreds, fried pork skin, barbecued pork, peanuts, squid strips, etc. into the bowl, and then pour the porridge into the bowl. As soon as you pour it, a bowl of delicious Tingzi porridge is ready, with a moderate consistency and a smooth texture in your mouth.
Jiashu Tangyuan King: Traditional handmade soup balls
"Jiashu Tangyuan King" has a history of decades. It can be said to be an old signature of Guangzhou glutinous rice balls. The founder, Uncle Jia, is a master chef in his 80s. Because the soup balls are so good, the brand "King of Soup Balls" came out!
The handmade glutinous rice balls here are all freshly made. Compared with the quick-frozen glutinous rice balls in supermarkets, they have the advantage of being cooked for a long time and not rotten. The chef's on-site manual operation can guarantee the quality far better than mechanical operation. Traditional sesame glutinous rice balls: the filling is sesame and sugar, as well as secret spices handed down from ancestors. The outside is a powdery skin carefully made from the above-mentioned good glutinous rice. The master carefully rolls it into a ball and becomes a white and tender glutinous rice ball. Finally, it is in the bowl. Add the paste made from sesame, peanuts, taro and other ingredients, and bowls of fragrant glutinous rice balls are ready.
Baohua Noodle Shop: The soup base is rich and flavorful
On Baohua Road, it is easy to find Baohua Noodle Shop because it is right on the roadside. This noodle shop has a history of nearly 20 years and a strong Guangzhou flavor. The price is cheap and the ingredients are sufficient. No matter what time of day, the store is always crowded! The store has a wide variety of varieties, including mushroom wontons, shrimp wontons, beef offal soup, Samsung soup, beef brisket, pork trotters, ribs, pig intestines and other clean dishes and soup noodles, abalone juice, fried sauce, peanut sauce and other kinds of noodles. Loyal diners.
I like their noodles the most. They use traditional shrimp noodles, which can be divided into thick noodles and thin noodles. I highly recommend the thin noodles. The texture is very thin, smooth and refreshing. It tastes very elastic and chewy. It can be used together with The soup base made from earth fish is prepared by dedicated personnel and cooked over civil and military fires. The taste is clear but not too rich, rich and sweet. The cooked noodles are poured into the carefully prepared soup, and garnished with fresh chives or chopped green onions. The aroma is so strong that wontons and pork knuckles all become supporting characters.
There is also a jar of salty and sour food on the table, which is sour and refreshing. Adding it to the noodles will increase your appetite.
Shun Kee Ice Cream House
Shun Kee Ice House was first created by the hawker Lu Shun in the 1920s. The founder, Lu Shun, was from Heshan, Guangdong. After banquets, Jia Hao and his merchants loved to come to Shun Kee to taste ice cream. The business was very good. Shun Kee Ice Cream is located on the roadside of Baohua Road and is very easy to find. Shun Kee Ice Cream is a unique specialty in Guangzhou. People who live in Xiguan know everything about it. In the past, Shun Kee Ice Room only dealt in ice cream and drinks. Later, due to development needs, other business items were added, such as porridge, noodles, claypot rice, etc.
Shun Kee’s ice cream has never been taken out before. You have to sit down to eat the most authentic coconut and mango ice cream. I usually eat red bean ice with ice cream balls at Shun Kee. I like the feeling of watching the ice cream slowly melting into the ice water and sipping the ice water while chewing the red beans. Although there are many varieties now, only two flavors of ice cream have adhered to the traditional "hand-made" method for many years, namely coconut flavor and mango flavor.
The "delicious and fragrant" porridge and noodles that have been eaten since childhood
When Baohua Road was not as bustling with traffic and crowded as it is now, the "delicious and fragrant" porridge and noodles already existed . The rice rolls here are very good, but the store has remained the same for ten years. It has always been so small and has never expanded. It just sticks to this small store. There are so many customers every day that it is difficult to get a seat with so many people. The boss hasn't opened a branch yet. Now after the renovation, it feels much cleaner and tidier.
I really like that the beef sausage is evenly thick and the soy sauce tastes good, not too salty and off-flavored.
The relationship between soy sauce and rice rolls is like the quality of wonton noodles and soup base. The two influence each other, so that when you eat rice rolls in other places, you must compare it with it. Personally, I think it's more delicious than Yinji's. Although it's a bit more expensive than the ones around it, the thin and smooth rice rolls made with enough ingredients are worth the price.
Wenji Yixin Chicken
As soon as the dish is served, you will know that it is a Qingping chicken made by a professional chef. The shape, color, knife skills and platter are all in line with the traditional requirements. The meat is smooth and refreshing, and the bones are full of flavor.” According to the waiter, they have a company-owned chicken farm in Qingyuan.
No wonder those naughty Xiguan people are happy to line up and share a table to eat here. Authentic and authentic Guangzhou dishes can also appear in this alley!
There are many delicious foods while walking on Baohua Road. I will introduce them to you one by one in the future
