Foshan, abbreviated as "Zen", is a famous cultural city with a long history. It is the hometown of Huang Feihong and Bruce Lee. It is the economic center of the Pearl River Delta and a famous commercial city with a history of thousands of years. When traveling to Foshan, you must bring some local specialties.
After returning, the editor will recommend some souvenirs worth buying in Foshan. Please see below for details.
1. Blind Gong Cake first appeared during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 160 years.
It belongs to the category of rice cakes. It was named after a blind man who came up with it due to an unexpected encounter at that time. It is now exclusively produced by a manufacturer who has obtained a product patent.
It has been developed to a certain extent and is a must-have item on Foshan’s tourism product shelves.
He is well-known, but it is difficult to be the protagonist.
2. Shaxi water chestnut powder is even better than those produced in Guangzhou Pantang. It is said that one year, Guangzhou Pantang’s water chestnut harvest failed and the merchant’s order could not be fulfilled. In desperation, the Shaxi horse hoof powder was purchased instead. Unexpectedly, the merchant’s response was so good.
.
But after all, Guangzhou’s reputation is greater than Shaxi’s Horseshoe Noodles.
3. The fermented pig's trotters have been popular for more than a hundred years, and are made by the time-honored brand Dexinzhai as a top product.
Among the varieties of Foshan cuisine, it is considered an alternative because it is close to the northern taste, so it is also more popular among outsiders.
4. Xiqiao Flatbread Xiqiao Flatbread is characterized by softness, sweetness, and looseness in the mouth.
5. Pingzhoufu Meat Pie I believe that few people in Foshan know about this specialty.
In fact, it appeared earlier than blind man cake, and has always been made by families and small workshops. It is similar to Zhongshan's almond cake.
6. Haitian soy sauce Needless to say, Haitian soy sauce is one of the best developed and most successful products among Foshan specialties. It has been group-operated and developed multiple series of products, and has enjoyed a reputation in many places across the country.
7. Shiwan Rice Wine Shiwan Rice Wine and Jiujiang Rice Wine come from the same source. They only differ in the water source, but there are signs of decline in recent years.
8. Shiwan Fish Curd Shiwan Fish Curd is a very common dish in the Nan Fan Thuan area, and the preparation is roughly the same. Only the preparation method of Shiwan is different, and it is smoother and softer than other fish curds.
, if paired with other ingredients, it is often served on high-end banquet tables.
9. Nanhai embroidery. Nanhai embroidery in Guangdong is the most important part of Cantonese embroidery. It is famous throughout the country and has become one of the famous birthplaces of Cantonese embroidery.
It is said that Nanhai embroidery originated from a woman in Nanhai who was extremely skilled in embroidery. People called her the Goddess of Nanhai Embroidery.
