Shunde is not exactly a city, but one of the five administrative districts of Foshan City, Guangdong Province. I didn't know this until I got here.
As the only two "food capitals of the world" in China awarded by the United Nations (the other is Chengdu), Shunde cuisine is even better than other places in Guangdong.
Shunde's history can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and then merged with Panyu to be included in Foshan area. Today, Shunde has four streets (Daliang, Rong Gui, Lunjiao and Leliu) and six towns (Chencun, Jun 'an, Xingtan, Longjiang, Lecong and Beijiao), each of which has its own unique food in China, and Shunde has a veritable food map.
All kinds of food documentaries and food programs, such as "China on the tip of the tongue" and "Feng Wei", are all inseparable from Shunde. Xunwei series is also a good film that food lovers must chase.
When you come to Shunde, playing is the second, and eating is the most important thing.
Shunde cuisine is not only found in grand restaurants, but also hidden in the houses in the streets and lanes. Besides dinner, there are countless snacks.
It's a pity not to have had morning tea in Guangdong. It's a waste of time not to go to a teahouse in Shunde.
As in Foshan, our day begins with "sighing for morning tea".
The famous tea houses in Shunde are: Shunde's family, Dragon's restaurant, Zhenbao restaurant, etc., which are all consumed by civilians. If it's a little better, shun feng Villa will generally be the first place in the strategy, no matter whether it's the environment or the products, there is definitely nothing to say.
We ate two restaurants before and after, but we didn't look for them specially. We all wandered around, and whenever there were many people, we pushed through the door. In my concept, under the critical tongue of Shunde people, the restaurant here can't last long without two brushes.
Fenger porridge is originally a porridge shop, and morning tea is so hot. The crispy pineapple bag is not freshly baked, but it tastes ordinary, and the skin is soft and sloppy, so it's cheap and not good, but the 6.6 yuan three have to put up with it.
The apricot-scented laver horn is delightful. The appearance is crisp, and the almonds visible to the naked eye are wrapped in thick laver stuffing, which is soft and melts in the mouth. Just can't eat more, tired.
The most amazing thing is this wonton with black truffles in soup. Although there are only a few, all of them are full of stuffing. The unique aroma of black truffles gives each wonton a luxurious temperament, and it is very satisfying to eat it in one bite.
Finally, this steamed bamboo roll is quite satisfactory, and the salty flavor is slightly sweet, which just neutralizes the sweetness of laver horn, which is also a good match.
The next day, I rode my bike to Rong Gui. After crossing the Rongqi Bridge, I was already hungry. I got off the bridge and started looking for food. I accidentally found this teahouse, the Imperial Tea Garden. Looking through the window, the hall is also bustling. According to the comments, it is said that Rong Gui morning tea is the king of cost performance. No wonder there are so many uncles and grandmothers.
The salty flavor of the epidermis and the compactness and lightness of the shrimp meat complement each other, and the six full shrimps are really picky and can only be admired.
South milk lotus root cake, with distinct granularity and not very sweet, is a good staple food.
In order to supplement vitamins, steamed ribs with green vegetables have a normal taste, just so-so.
By the way, Rong Gui is small, close to Daliang, and there are no scenic spots, but it is a "gourmet town" in Shunde, and there is a food book called "Taste Rong Gui".
We finished our morning tea and strolled casually. I accidentally strayed into Industrial Road, the breakfast base of Rong Gui people. In the 1950s, the industry here was developed and it was a famous economic lifeline.
Now these factories have been shut down for a long time, and they have become the diesel engine 1959 creative park and the punching place in online celebrity. Only a few breakfast shops in the neighborhood have remained standing for decades.
If you want to eat rice rolls, the locals will recommend you to "Xiaopo". Two more steps and you'll arrive at Nanhong Noodle Shop.
The Qijie Noodle Shop opposite Nanhong Noodle Shop is an old shop. Unfortunately, I have no stomach, so I can only take pictures at the door as a souvenir.
As travelers, most people are based in Daliang and live near Qinghui Garden in the center of the city.
This is the most famous food distribution center in Shunde, and there is no one.
Minxin Old Shop, Renxin Old Shop, Huanjie Lunjiao Cake, Li Xiji Jumping Fried, Weiji Beef offal, Ximei Beef offal, Minjun Guiling Cream, He Yi Ge Shui, Longan Fried Pork, etc. are all around Qinghui Garden 100 meter.
Among them, the fine sister beef offal has the most famous reputation. In the past, it used to line up in large groups all the year round, but there were not many people when we went, and the impact of the epidemic was really too great.
The opposite gate of Weiji beef offal is even more deserted. The tastes of the two families belong to radish and cabbage, and each family has its own love. Netizens are very happy in the comments.
We ordered a small portion of the younger sister, 30 each, which is quite heavy. It is said that beef offal only has tripe. The taste is a little heavy, and it is stained with the characteristic Cantonese spicy sauce here (it is said that the spicy sauce can hardly eat spicy taste, but it is sweet and sour), and the taste is improved immediately with a heavy flavor. In addition, the beans soaked with juice are great.
Similar to the double strength of beef offal, dairy products such as double skin milk are the top three-Minxin, Renxin and Jinbang. Which is better or worse, it is also a flower in each eye.
As long as you come to Shunde, the Minxin Old Shop on Huagai Pedestrian Street, I believe no one can ignore its existence.
There is a big sign of "provincial intangible cultural heritage" hanging on the wall at the entrance, and "since 1930" is enough to explain its origin. The Xiao Mu brand, which is arranged in the next nine blocks in turn, is certified from all over the world, such as the top ten famous snacks in Foshan, the brands listed on Phoenix cctv, and the district-level intangible cultural heritage.
The treasure of Minxin Laopu Town Store is this bowl of double skin milk. During the Republic of China, it was accidentally invented by the founder Dong Xiaohua.
Shunde double-skin milk is unique in that the milk source comes from local buffalo milk, which is characterized by high milk fat, about 6.9%, which is 3.2% higher than the common black-and-white cow milk. High milk fat means a fuller and smoother taste.
Wechat self-service placed an order and soon came up. Get close and smell a fragrance. If the appearance is clean and coagulated, a spoonful will not come loose, but when it enters the mouth, it will melt on the throat, and it will be rich in sweetness. Kk said it smelled a little, but I didn't eat it. Personally, I think it's a little sweet, but it's still delicious. By the way, there are low-sugar ones.
Fried milk is also a must. I have to say, it tastes better fried. The same problem is still sweet and a little greasy, one piece is enough.
The second floor is a museum of double-skin milk, where you can learn about the making process and history of double-skin milk.
Renxin is not far from the same street, but the door is empty. Benevolence, like the inheritance of people's trust, is separated from people's trust for interest reasons and started a new stove. If you don't eat, you won't judge too much.
In addition to these two, Jinbang Street milk will occupy a place in Shunde.
According to legend, it used to be called Jinbang Village. Most villagers made a living by raising buffaloes, from selling beef to milking cows. Later, due to environmental reasons, cattle were not allowed to be raised in the urban area, so Jinbang Street gradually developed into a street selling buffalo milk.
Now there are many milk shops in this street, such as Good Sister, Fangjie, Xiajie, Huanji, Laojiefang, etc. Among them, Huanji is the most popular, because it has been read in "Exploring Shunde" and is regarded as a online celebrity store.
Jinbang Street twists and turns along Huagai Mountain, and the alley is narrow and shabby, which is like walking through time.
I walked into a shop at random-the milk was different and the decoration was quite distinctive.
I ordered a bowl of Guiling Ointment, which has a strong flavor of Chinese herbal medicine, and it tastes smooth and cool. There is nothing more pleasant than listening to soothing music on this hot afternoon.
Further east of Shencun Square, there is a small restaurant that only opens after dark, called Guanhua Time-honored Porridge Shop. Shencun porridge shop is opposite, and it is also very popular. It is also open at night.
It's past nine o'clock in the evening, and people are still in an endless stream. I can see that they are all regular customers around.
Shunde's food is so casual, and the shop that has been tested for years has its own craft. The bottom of the porridge is soft, the pork liver is fresh and has no fishy smell.
One day, I rode my bike around wildly and stumbled into a shabao brother who was watching a lot of people. The taste is really average and the price is not cheap.
Roasted pork ribs are neither delicious nor unpalatable. The bright spot was not found, but the sausage ate a strong flavor of monosodium glutamate, which was very thirsty and dry after eating. kk shared the typical symptoms of excessive monosodium glutamate. Monopterus albus rice is just so-so. In addition, the rice is not cooked enough to form the golden color of the crispy rice, so it is difficult to chew and it is stuffed.
Frankly speaking, it is better to eat Rongji clay pot rice in Foshan, and the price is only half that here. Maybe we should try the documentary Cow Show and Red Star Guangfa Clay Pot Rice.
In Shunde, I ate dinner once. There is fishy private cuisine, a famous local Cantonese cuisine, which has been on various lists many times.
Roast goose in open fire, the roast goose tastes positive, the tight meat, fat and crispy skin blend in the mouth, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it is. There is no greasy catch-up, and the large pieces of meat are a little hard, so the overall defect does not hide Yu.
Abalone with goose's feet is the best in this game, especially the abalone is tender, tough but not hard, and it is delicious when soaked in juice, which is almost meaningless compared with duck's feet.
Fried fish bone porridge with medlar is highly recommended. A huge bowl, with five or six big fish bones and a lot of fish on it, the porridge is also soft and in place, with a strong aroma and a light medlar leaf, which is perfect.
Steamed fish, tender meat, no smell at all, but it doesn't have much characteristics.
Shunde private kitchens are everywhere, and we only ate such a big roadside store. A netizen said that many houses hidden in the narrow lanes of crosswalks without big signs can't be found casually.
Helpless, due to the relationship between time and distance, there is no chance to try more. I can only share the previous raiders for your reference and leave an excuse for the next trip.
After all, Shunde's delicious food can't be eaten for days and nights.
