In the old western suburbs of Guangzhou, litchi trees were planted on both sides of the river, which was then called litchi Bay. The "Liwan Nightsong", one of the eight scenic spots in the ancient Yangcheng, refers to this place. Every summer evening, many scholars and tourists from all walks of life come here to play and travel by boat. One of them is a boat, which specializes in "boat porridge". If tourists on shore or other boats need it, the owner of the porridge boat will hand over porridge bowl by bowl, which is very popular. Gradually, even snack bars on land sell this kind of porridge called Liwan Boat Porridge.
Boat porridge is made of fresh river shrimp or fish fillets, and later jellyfish, fried peanuts, cold noodles, chopped green onion, ginger and so on. Boil it immediately before eating, it is fragrant, steaming and very fresh and sweet. No matter in street restaurants or five-star restaurants like White Swan Hotel, you can taste this kind of porridge unique to Guangzhou.
Boat porridge is a kind of Guangdong porridge. Originally from Xiguan, Liwan, Guangzhou, some houseboats (commonly known as "boats" in Cantonese) were sold on the Litchi Bay River, hence the name "Liwan Boat Porridge", which is said to have developed from raw fish. The main ingredients of boat porridge are fish, lean meat, fried dough sticks, peanuts and chopped green onion, and floating skin, jellyfish, beef and squid are also added. Boat porridge is famous for its smooth, soft and fragrant flavor. At present, in Guangdong porridge shops in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao and even overseas, boat porridge is a must-have food. Boat porridge is called "a bend" in the industry.
Traditional Guangzhou people think that boat porridge should be eaten on the boat, and the porridge boiled with river water has a special flavor. The tap water used now is not as good as before. Nowadays, traditional boat porridge is rarely bought. There is still an old man selling porridge on his fishing boat in Huangpu District, Guangzhou. Due to environmental restrictions, the last boat of porridge in Guangzhou has almost disappeared. In the 1970s, in Guangzhou, people's south and south buildings faced the Pearl River, and there was boat porridge to eat.
