Shantou is a very distinctive city. A hundred years ago, it was just a small fishing village. Later, it developed into an important international commercial port, and now its development is getting better and better. What are the special snacks in Shantou? Let's introduce them to you in the following small series. Come and have a look.

beef chafing dish

Shantou's beef chafing dish is really a must. Shantou people are very particular about eating, and they usually eat fresh meat, just pork, which is sold in the market every morning and afternoon. In addition, Shantou also has traditional skills to solve cattle! Have you read "My Skilled Man Helps Cows"? I doubt whether my descendants came to Shantou and passed on this unique skill.

whether the beef of the same cow is cut well or not varies a lot in taste. Even if you buy beef in the vegetable market, whether the butcher can cut the meat or not will make you eat differently.

Seafood lo-fi

Because of the offshore, Shantou naturally has a lot of seafood. What Shantou people like best is steaming, which mainly emphasizes the original flavor. However, in order to remove the scarlet flavor, a lot of shredded ginger, onion, garlic and pepper will be put during steaming. Seasoning is when eating, each person chooses the seasoning according to his own taste. Therefore, there are dozens of spices on the dining table of Shantou people.

midnight snack

It can be said that midnight snack is also a major feature of Shantou catering. A bowl of rice congee with hundreds of dishes is more spectacular than a Manchu-Han banquet. Raw salted seafood is the favorite of many Shantou people with rice congee, followed by fish rice. In addition, all kinds of Chaozhou dishes can be used with porridge. As I said, Shantou people eat very little, but they are full of food. Shantou's casserole porridge is also quite distinctive. It is necessary to order a pot at midnight snack, mainly because there are too many varieties, such as crab porridge, elephant clam porridge, abalone porridge, shrimp porridge, frog porridge, fish and so on. It is really warm and sweet to eat a bowl of casserole porridge in winter night.
