Chaoshan is a famous food resort in the southeast, and the Chaoshan hot pot in the civilized country is even more exciting. You will see the most exciting food and expand your taste buds in all directions. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.

here are 13 kinds of Shantou delicacies: beef chafing dish, rice rolls, beef balls, raw salted seafood, roasted meat, braised goose, Chaoshan casserole porridge, strips, Chaoshan products, sauce, glutinous rice with swollen pork intestines, fish balls and fish rice. My goal is to eat more than 1 kinds.

There are five black pearl restaurants in Shantou:

Fuyuan Diet, Chenji Shunhe Beef Hot Pot, Donghai Restaurant, Chaoshan Cuisine Restaurant, and Ba He Li Hai Ji.

Fuyuan Diet

Eight-in-one Caspian Sea Story

Black Pearl restaurants in China can basically be selected blindly, but only if I can afford it.

So first, I crossed out Donghai Restaurant in 5 yuan per capita and Chaoshan Cuisine Restaurant in 8 yuan per capita, two high-end banquet dishes that I couldn't afford, and then excluded the Eight-in-One Caspian Sea Story that I ate in Shenzhen and Changsha, so I chose to punch in at Fuyuan and Chenji.

In Shantou's must-eat list, there are palatable restaurants, brine hot pot with tidal brine, dim sum legend, night talk around the stove, ester field house, beef hot pot with apricot blossom and Wuji, fresh beef pot with Wuji, Xiao Wu rice rolls, and South and North refreshments. I want to choose a brine hot pot from the list, and I choose the latter among the brine hot pot with tidal brine and the stove on the grounds that it is easy to park.

First, Shantou Fuyuan Diet

Fuyuan is the most impressive of all the black pearl restaurants I have ever eaten.

as soon as you enter the store, the ordering table is spectacular! All kinds of fresh ingredients, finished products and semi-finished products are neatly arranged and ordered directly at the food. This WYSIWYG feeling is great!

In Fuyuan, you can eat Chaoshan Chilling, Pot-stewed, stir-fried, rice porridge, dim sum and dessert at one time, which covers almost all Chaoshan specialties and is very convenient for tourists.

It is worth mentioning that Fuyuan is not only a must-eat shop for foreigners to check in at Shantou, but also highly praised by Shantou locals, and many of them are local diners.

if you don't want to wait in line for Fuyuan, you'd better go to the store at 5 pm to find a good seat.

You should come early to eat anything in Shantou, not only to avoid the queue, but more importantly, many ingredients will be gone if you come late.

raw pickled crab 6 yuan: a must! There are all kinds of raw pickled shrimps and crabs in the shop, fresh and sweet seafood. Biting them down is the jelly texture that sticks to teeth. Pickling them in hot and sour and salty condiments covers up the fishy smell. It is the best with rice porridge, and the taste level is super rich ~

Casserole rice congee 3 yuan: A must! Full, soft and delicious, I never thought white rice porridge could be so delicious ~ 3 yuan is affordable and can be renewed for free, conscience!

Puning Tofu 12 yuan: This is an award-winning dish. It's fried tofu with crisp outside and tender inside. I can't get used to dipping leeks.

Fish Rice 28 yuan: Fish Rice is also an award-winning dish of Fuyuan. There is no rice in fish rice, only a cold dish with salted fish. Personally, I prefer Japanese pickled herring. Shantou fish rice is not firm enough for me.

Longjiang pig's foot 3 yuan: Pig's foot is also an award-winning dish of Fuyuan. Its meat is very soft and waxy, but it is still a little too oily for me.

Bittern platter 14 yuan: Chaoshan bittern is very tasty, the foie gras is smooth and tender, the foie gras is crisp and elastic, and it is very porridge!

Second, Shantou Chen Jishun and beef hotpot

Every time you eat Chaoshan beef hotpot, it's like having an anatomy class, knowing various parts of cattle, and learning while eating. Like Baheli, Chen Ji has opened many branches all over the country.

Chen Ji's main entrance

Chen Ji's stall

The difference between the main store and the branch is mainly the freshness of the raw materials.

Take Changsha as an example. Cold chain cars in Changsha can only enter the city in the early hours of the morning. In fact, the table has been over N hours, especially the freshness of beef for dinner.

unlike Shantou, fresh beef is sent to the restaurant for killing at 4pm in Shantou, and the beef on the chopping block will still beat!

besides beef, the shacha sauce in Chenji Head Office is more fragrant than that in the branch! There is sand tea sauce for sale, and one for 5 yuan. It is highly recommended to buy one to take away ~ The beef balls in the store can also be bought in vacuum to take home.

28 yuan: Must be ordered! Beef neck meat, very delicate tender lean meat ~ < P > Wuhua 28 yuan: Must order! Fat and even beef and pork belly, fragrant in one bite!

28 yuan in the chest: the heart-protecting oil in front of the cow's chest is crisp and chewy, and you can order half a portion if you are tired.

Sanhua 31 yuan: The beef leg is a beautiful and ribbed lean meat, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes ~

_ 4 yuan: a thick rice noodle, cooked in a pot to perfectly absorb the freshness and sweetness of beef.

Third, the night talk around the stove in Shantou

The unique brine pot in Chaoshan is the most authentic fragrant brine hot pot only when eaten in Chaoshan.

There are 2 kinds of spices lined up on the ingredient table, and half of them are spices that I rarely see or even have never seen in other hot pot restaurants. I am at a loss.

There are also many dishes in the menu that can't be seen in ordinary hot pot restaurants. You can't order food without eating brine hot pot, and you can't start.

The main hall around the stove

Chaozhou-Shantou cuisine has a special feature, and each dish has a specific dip, which adds a unique flavor.

However, the waiters around the stove are very young. When they ask the waiters what ingredients should go with what dip, the waiters look stupid, and they will not list the customers to mix dip and deduct points.

goose intestines 28 yuan: a must!

foie gras 45 yuan: a must! The fresh foie gras is tender and tender, fresh and plump, and it will melt in the mouth

Goose's feet 45 yuan: a classic brine dish, the more you cook, the more delicious it becomes.

Fourth, street snacks in Shantou: strips of beef, roasted oysters

strips of beef. 1 yuan: You don't need to find a specific store to eat street snacks in Shantou. You are satisfied with eating them blindly.

There are various roadside stalls in Shantou, with various styles, which can be eaten for breakfast and dinner.

Shantou's culture is richer than Changsha's rice noodle culture! At first glance, it looks like rice noodles, but it adds starch, which is thicker and more elastic than rice noodles. It's very refreshing!

Baked 35 yuan with Oysters: Oysters are branded with China 2 on the tip of the tongue, which is a snack made of oysters+eggs+starch paste. Shantou's oysters are fresh and thick, and they are delicious with a bite.

5. Special foods in Nan 'ao County: fried rice with laver, steamed eggs with sea urchin, and earthen chicken

Nan 'ao is a county in Shantou, and it is mainly an island for leisure. The food on the island is not as concentrated as that in downtown Shantou, but there are three kinds of foods that should not be missed.

fried rice with laver 3 yuan: I wonder what's so special about laver before I've been to Nan 'ao Island.

I didn't know until I went there that the laver in Nan 'ao Island was much more delicious than the laver I had eaten before, especially delicious and of first-class quality!

Porphyra stir-fried in rice still has a crisp taste, and you can hear the sound of laver crushing when you chew it. The aroma is very strong ~

Steamed eggs with sea urchins 8 yuan: Sea urchins are the freshest and cheapest only in the country of origin. The orange sea urchin gonads and egg liquid are mixed and steamed, and there is no fishy smell when they are hot.

Tuyao Chicken 4 yuan: It is similar to beggar chicken, but the quality of the chicken in Nan 'ao Island is good. The local chicken is a free-range chicken, which is fragrant and delicious.

6. Hu Rongquan in Chaozhou

Hu Rongquan, a century-old shop in Paifang Street in Chaozhou, has snacks, spring cakes and various specialty handwritten letters.

Duck Mother Twisted 1 yuan: Fancy glutinous rice balls with rich ingredients are delicious and can be eaten as dessert.

Black Sesame Crisp 15 yuan: Hu Rongquan has a dozen kinds of specialty handwritten letters, all kinds of cakes and crisps, and the best one after eating a circle is black sesame crisp.

The unit price of snacks is 1-15 yuan is quite cheap, so it is appropriate to buy a few boxes of snacks for your family.

There is also an old Qianglong preserved goose liver

. The meat shops and sausages taste good, and there are three treasures of Chaozhou all over the street. They are delicious when bought in water or eaten as candied fruit, and the taste is more natural and fragrant than that of citron tea.

There are several well-known fish shops in Chaozhou, but eating shallow water fish and freshwater fish raw is risky to be infected with parasites, so it is not recommended. I gained 2 Jin in three days, but I don't regret it. I would like to go to Chaozhou and Shantou again just for eating.

The Taste of Laoguang mentioned at the beginning is an excellent documentary, which is worth seeing whether you have been to Chaoshan or not! It also introduces various local cuisines. After reading it, I want to eat Guangdong again. Besides eating it by myself, don't forget to take it home.

Finally, I attach seven Chaoshan handwritten letters worth taking home:

1. Beef balls (both in Baheli and Chenji are sold in vacuum packaging)

2. Shacha sauce (Shacha sauce from Chenji beef hotpot restaurant)

3.
