In Chaozhou, you must eat the local beef hotpot, which is very delicious and has local characteristics. Everyone eats plain beef. In addition, there are some delicious foods to try for breakfast, and local fish, crabs and seafood can also be tasted. It can't be too bad.
Breakfast
It is said that the plan for a day lies in the morning, and I don't want to sleep late for several days in Chaozhou. After all, every meal is worth cherishing.
Hai rice rolls
came to Guangdong, but he always felt that there was something missing in rice rolls. There are many rice rolls shops in the streets of Chaozhou, which are different from the sweet soy sauce served in rice rolls. The last sauces in Chaozhou rice rolls are usually braised pork sauce and sesame sauce, and occasionally pickled vegetables or garlic oil are added for seasoning.
I ate a few, either the seasoning was not enough or the oyster sauce was too strong. I recommend this Haiyang rice rolls, an old Chaozhou brand, with just the right seasoning. It is highly recommended that the signature Chinese cabbage and beef be fried on one side, with sweet Chinese cabbage, fresh beef and good yellow.
If you are not used to the taste of sesame sauce, you can choose rice rolls, a kind of marinade, and ask your local friends. There is an unknown shop that is doing well. It is located next to Chaozhou old cinema. If you want to eat, you might as well make a special trip.

Kuiyuaner Special Pot Sticker
Chaoshan people are famous for eating coarse naan, and there are countless kinds of coarse naan, among which coarse naan juice is the most suitable for eating in the morning. The sauce is made by baking the rice paste first, then cutting it into pieces of white triangular rice slices, and then pouring it with lard and tofu in the large intestine, which is a bit like the combination of Chaoshan strips and Fujian pot stickers.
Quayle's special sauce has been in Chaozhou for several years and has maintained a good reputation for many years. The boss wearing a white old man's vest is very discerning. The shop looks casual, and the things made are not sloppy at all. Otherwise, how can it stand in Chaozhou for many years?
Bitter gourd juice, don't be prejudiced against it as soon as you hear the name. The large intestine of this family is very clean and blends well with the taste of bitter gourd. A bowl of warm heart and stomach in the morning is worth a try.

If you want to have some authentic Cantonese morning tea, first push this Korean restaurant upstairs. The shop is located in Phoenix Island Park. Although the place is relatively remote, the business is very good, and it will be almost full by 9 am.
the place to have morning tea is on the second floor. Because it is close to the river and the scenery near the window is very good. The environment is good and the price is affordable. That group of people will be satisfied after eating.
The advantage of having more people is that you can order all the common basic things in the morning tea menu. Shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, steamed dumplings, chicken feet and ribs are all online. Choose your favorite food.

Beef Hotpot
Chaoshan people pursue the ultimate freshness when eating, and one of the typical representatives is beef Hotpot. There is a saying that is true. When hot pots all over the world are studying the soup base, Chaoshan beef hot pot is mainly a pot of clear soup.
Guantang Brothers Beef Hot Pot
In Chaozhou, the best time to eat beef hot pot is in the afternoon or evening, because all the beef just delivered from the local slaughterhouse will be eaten there, which tastes the best. Of course, persistent people like us take a taxi directly to Guantang to eat. Next to the slaughterhouse, the beef is very fresh.
It's true that "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley". Although Guantang is far away from Chaozhou city (about half an hour's drive), every beef hotpot restaurant is very lively. Take this brother beef hotpot restaurant as an example. It's not too late for us to arrive. Although the storefront is very big, the open space is basically full, and many tourist buses have stopped at the door.
the food is served quickly, but the speed of a group of people is not bad. Every dish of meat was rinsed for ten seconds and several pairs of chopsticks were grabbed.
The most surprising thing was that when I checked out, eight people only ate more than 6 yuan, which still included the price of wine and soda. The cost performance is simply good. I'll take a taxi to eat this meal. It's not a loss.

Old beef
If you don't want to go to Guantang, there are many famous hot pot restaurants in Chaozhou. Laoji and Abin are the most famous, and there are more tourists going to Abin for dinner, while Laoji is a beef hotpot restaurant frequented by locals. All aspects of evaluation are good.
The soup base is clear soup of bitter gourd and white radish, which retains the most original Chaoshan flavor, and the beef texture is not lost to the soup. After eating beef hot pot in Chaoshan, the biggest feeling is that everything I have eaten in other places before may be fake.

Xinshacha beef hotpot
Shacha is a seasoning in Chaozhou cuisine. It is improved from Indonesian traditional sauce Satay, which is often used for dipping in Chaozhou. What many people don't know is that sand tea can also be used as the bottom of hot pot. If you are used to the taste of clear soup, you may wish to try the special beef hot pot with sand tea in Xinji.
the door opened at four o'clock in the afternoon, and it wasn't long before people came one after another. The double-boiled bottom of sand tea clear soup is the most popular, and the double-boiled bottom of sand teapot makes people stand out. You can use not only the double-boiled bottom of the pot, but also the half-cooked meat, so that you can try more kinds even if there are few people.
both the bottom of the pot and the sand tea sauce used as dipping sauce were made by the proprietress herself, which took a lot of effort.

Fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish
Although Chaoshan area is not as rich as Guangfu area, it is closer to the sea. Fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish are frequent guests on the table. There is a saying in Chaozhou: "One fresh, two fertilizers and three times" refers to the local seafood. Let's talk about this party, the two most delicious foods in Chaozhou-raw fish and raw fish with Chinese sauerkraut.
Guantang original fish raw
The most famous fish eater in Chaozhou is this Guantang original fish eater. Chaozhou cuisine has a feature called one dish and one dish, that is, a dish with a fixed dip, such as Shacha beef hotpot, fish and shrimp also have a fixed dip.
shredded ginger, raw onion, coriander, a little special soy sauce, sesame oil and raw fish are mixed well, and the mouth is full of rich flavor. This way of eating actually existed before the Tang Dynasty. In the idiom "golden oyster and jade oyster", oyster refers to raw fish, and oyster is a side dish, such as shredded ginger.
shrimp is recommended to dip in soy sauce and mustard, just like eating sashimi. At first, I was a little conflicted, afraid of fishy smell. I found it completely impossible at the entrance. Sweet and q-bomb, I can't stop.
Besides raw fish and shrimp, braised goose is delicious, which is really surprising.

Round egg wine
Chaoshan people eat seafood in pursuit of originality, and a wide variety of raw pickles are among them. Jianghu people call it Chaoshan poison. Pickled clams, pickled shrimps, pickled cream crabs, pickled shrimps. Wine is a must, and there is no burden to stay up late.
Round egg wine is a small shop that has been shopping for several days. The boss and his wife are both from Shantou. The original store was opened in Shantou, because her daughter went to school and the family came to Chaozhou. She also opened a small shop here together.
Seafood in coastal areas is relatively less valuable, and the price is very affordable. Eating a meal like this will cost less than 2 yuan. When I left, I added the boss's WeChat to prepare for the next group purchase.

Rui casserole porridge
A friend who has lived in Guangdong for many years told me that I must have a seafood casserole porridge when I go to Chaozhou, and asked which one I recommend. They say that Reggie is good, and the environment and services are basically absent, but we can still give it full marks for the signature casserole porridge.
the signature shrimp and crab porridge is a must. It has been waiting for a long time
Because the menu is relatively simple, there are not many choices except porridge, so I ordered a red roast goose, but it was not as delicious as the raw fish, so it was not recommended. Off-topic: rice porridge, a fat girl outside the city, is also a famous place to drink porridge at night, but my stomach can't hold on, so I'm going to fight again next time.

Nanmiao Teahouse
For Chaoshan people, a day without rice is better than a day without tea. Drinking tea has become an indispensable part of life.
Miao Teahouse is located in a tidal old house with a history of over 1 years. The shopkeeper repaired it as old as before and transformed it into today's teahouse.
it's not far from paifang street. If you are tired of shopping, you can come here and try Kung Fu tea.
The teahouse in the small courtyard even uses a red mud stove burning charcoal to boil water, which has a unique flavor. There are several clusters of bamboo and green plants along the fence, which is simple and elegant.
Li Qian Teahouse near the ancient city is also highly recommended by tea lovers. I couldn't finish it on time because of the limited time, so I recommend it to everyone here.

Kicking Peach Coffee
Kicking Peach Coffee is the most "internet celebrity" cafe in Chaozhou. "Kicking peaches" is a Chaoshan dialect, which translates to playing outside. The atmosphere of the whole cafe is the same as its name, which is quite fun.
the quality of coffee is ok, except that a young lady ordered a single fir and accidentally stepped on the thunder. Other basic cups are good. The most important thing is that the packaging design is pleasing to the eye, like a punch card artifact in a modern China tea shop.
the environment is also very good. There is also a small rooftop on the second floor. If I hadn't eaten more, I would have been able to sit here for most of the day.

Maguxi Cup
I know this store is purely accidental. When a local friend came to see us in Chaozhou, he brought several bags of potatoes from home. Although several of us were full at that time, these bags of potatoes were swept away. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the best I have eaten in recent years. I prefer the taste and original flavor of matcha, and the ingredients are delicious.
The storefront is in an alley not far from the ancient city. Smell the fragrance and it will come soon. You'd better call ahead and make an appointment with the boss to get it. After all, the scene has to wait for a long time. Because it was so delicious, I bought some bags to take on the plane before I left.

Ancient French dessert
Speaking of desserts, I recommend this ancient dessert of Kaiyuan Road. We also tasted the famous Hu Rongquan dessert, which we thought was too sweet. Let me give you a thunder.
The signature of ancient desserts, Duck Mother Twist, is a feature of Chaozhou, which refers to glutinous rice balls shaped like duck eggs. Stuffing is divided into peanuts and sesame seeds. Tremella, red dates and red beans can be added. Do it yourself, soft waxy q-bomb, the sweetness is just under control.
Yangzhi Ganlu is authentic old Cantonese flavor, and 15 yuan's taste is also very conscientious.

Yilao Cinema Juice Ice
Juice Ice made of various fresh fruits mixed with smoothies, yogurt or lactic acid bacteria is also one of the must-see foods in Chaozhou. This is ready-made and original.
The most famous one should be Aunt Hua, who often sees long queues when passing by. After dinner, when walking around in flip-flops, have a glass of juice ice. Don't be too comfortable. Amway avocado cashmere yogurt and strawberry Yakult are two combinations.

Stone Milk Ice
The evaluation of this milk ice is very good, and it is not far from Paifang Street, so I chose the last night to go shopping and eat. There are quite a lot of places, which are quite lively. Three people ordered two pieces of ice and the measurement was just right.
all the fruits used for ice are good, and the taste of sea salt milk cover is quite surprising. Friends who love ice can try it. There are surprises at the bottom.

Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch
The licorice fruit in Chaozhou dialect is very similar to that in Gan Mei, Fujian, except that one is sprinkled with licorice juice and the other is sprinkled with sour plum powder. This is not particularly recommended. Look at the fresh ones on any roadside. They are all delicious. It's great for appetizers and digestion.
choose your own fruit, and the pricing method is weighing. The most recommended are lotus, carambola, green awn, sweet awn and peach. Crispy taste with licorice juice is a must. It can be regarded as a new fruit opening method, or the fruit cut by others is always delicious.
that's almost the food record of this trip to Chaozhou. If you want to eat all the authentic Chaozhou snacks, you can avoid the main road of Paifang Street. Alleys where local people gather eat the most.
It is suggested to focus on Xima Road, glutinous rice pig intestines and Yongji snacks in Wiki, and various stalls that appear from time to time. Too many people in line are unlikely to make mistakes. Eating while walking saves time and effort.
Another suggestion is that it's better to go with more people, or stay for a few more days, otherwise you can't eat at all.
Generally speaking, Chaozhou is a place with a slow pace of life, which is suitable for eating and drinking aimlessly. When you are tired, you can find a teahouse to sit and drink tea. If you haven't decided where to go on New Year's Day or New Year's Day, it will be a good choice. After all, winter in Guangdong is quite comfortable.
