Ten must-eat foods in Chaozhou are recommended: bean curd cake, duck mother twist, bamboo shoots, salted water, leeks, pig's feet, glutinous rice juice, baked sweet potatoes and taro with cakes, chaoshan beef meatball and zongqiu.
1. Sufu cake
Sufu cake is made of various materials. It is made of refined flour, and the cake is filled with Sufu blocks, wine, white pork, sugar, garlic, etc., with more than fourteen ingredients.
2. Duck Mother Twist
Chaozhou traditional snack was first created in the early years of Qing Dynasty, which is similar to glutinous rice balls in the north, but Chaozhou is called "Duck Mother Twist" because it is shaped like a mother duck floating on the water.
3. Bamboo shoots
Chaozhou is rich in bamboo shoots, which are especially tender. Bamboo shoots are a folk snack, which takes bamboo shoots as the main raw material, adds pork, mushrooms and dried shrimps, adds salt, monosodium glutamate, pepper, garlic and so on, and then wraps them in a special skin made of rice flour.
4. Salty water clams

5. leek husks
The husks are the same as bamboo shoots husks, but the stuffing inside is different. Leek husks are wrapped with leeks and peanuts. It is also steamed in a steamer, and then brushed with a layer of fragrant sesame oil, which tastes sweeter and smoother, and has a strong fragrance of leeks.
6. Pig's trotters
A kind of fried snack, crispy and delicious, is very popular with children. The tool for frying pig's feet is very special.

Because it looks like a shape cut from pig's trotters, people call it "pig's feet".
