Boat porridge
In the old western suburbs of Guangzhou, litchi trees were planted on both sides of the river, which was then called litchi Bay. The "Liwan Nightsong", one of the eight scenic spots in the ancient Yangcheng, refers to this place. Every summer evening, many scholars and tourists from all walks of life come here to play and travel by boat. One of them is a boat, which specializes in "boat porridge". If tourists on shore or other boats need it, the owner of the porridge boat will hand over porridge bowl by bowl, which is very popular. Gradually, even snack bars on land sell this kind of porridge called Liwan Boat Porridge.
Boat porridge is made of fresh river shrimp or fish fillets, and later jellyfish, fried peanuts, cold noodles, chopped green onion, ginger and so on. Boil it immediately before eating, it is fragrant, steaming and very fresh and sweet. No matter in street restaurants or five-star restaurants like White Swan Hotel, you can taste this kind of porridge unique to Guangzhou.

This peculiar smell is not only liked by southerners, but also by northerners, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and foreign friends. They often gather around Xiao Mu's dining table and enjoy perilla fried snails in street food stalls (or high-end hotels and restaurants). When frying, you can also add spices such as pepper, onion or garlic, lobster sauce and salt, which tastes better.

A rice product, also called steamed rice rolls with bra. Take rice rolls, the most famous "Yin Ji" in Guangzhou, as an example: this store is located in Wenchang Road, specializing in rice rolls sauce beef, and is famous for its thinness, toughness and smoothness. In the early days of liberation, it was run by Wennei. She studied under a famous teacher and learned the special technique of steaming sausage powder. Its rice rolls is "as white as snow, as thin as paper, shiny, smooth and delicious".

Double steamed milk
It is said that a farmer named He in Shunde accidentally knocked over a pattern in buffalo milk when he was making breakfast in the morning. Soon, an old friend who knows the goods bought a recipe and opened a food stall. This kind of Shunde double skin milk became a tradition. This old friend is now the ancestor of boss Wu of Wenxin Laopu, and double skin milk has been circulating since the late Qing Dynasty.
Boil the freshly squeezed buffalo milk in the morning and pour it into a bowl while it is hot. Hot air will make the surface of fresh milk produce milk skin; After the milk is completely cooled, leave the skin and remove the milk, then add fine sugar and protein to the poured milk, stew it on the fire, and soon produce a layer of skin; Pour the stewed milk back into the original bowl, hence the name "double skin milk". What you want to eat is another layer of smoothness and kindness besides the sweetness of milk. The rich aroma makes double skin milk the favorite of Guangzhou people. Look at the endless crowd of Wenxin old shop next to Tianhe Hongcheng Square and you will know how hot it is.
Wenxin old shop pays attention to the selection of materials, so the color and taste are dignified and pure. A new bowl of stew will be served steaming, and the aroma will be as warm as Jiangnan kannika nimtragol in her early twenties; Swallow a bite, sweet but not greasy, and like the thin skin and red lips of a kannika nimtragol, it can give you a gentle desire for a beautiful life dream. Many people who don't eat dessert can accept Shunde double skin milk, perhaps because it is gentle and solemn. Wenxin's double-skin milk has many flavors to choose from, which can be pure double-skin milk or double-skin milk of red beans, lotus seeds, bird's nest eggs, raisins and ginger juice. In hot summer, one more choice is to be in a good mood.
People in Guangzhou love to clear away heat and detoxify, and they can't eat dessert without Guiling Ointment. It is best to add turtle paste with sweet red bean paste: the bean paste is thick and sweet, and turtle paste is slippery and bitter, which complement each other. Wenxin's turtle ling paste belongs to the head store and is sent by the branch, but there is still one thing about the bean paste: choose big red bean, which is easy to cook, shell it with high fire, stew the meat with low fire, and cook it slowly until two hours later, the water and the bean paste have turned into a uniform paste, and then add fine sugar to taste, so that there will be no astringency of water when eating, and the bean paste will be fine and even, and there will be no greenish yellow car-scrapping.
Nan Xin Jiang Qiang nai
Ginger milk was first produced in Shawan Town, Panyu County. Shawan is a land of plenty, and raising buffalo and producing milk is a sideline of local farmers. Buffalo milk produced here has a high concentration and contains a lot of fat, which can be made into a variety of dairy snacks, among which ginger juice is the most famous and is spread all over restaurants in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, milk is sweet and cold, and its function is tonic, while ginger is pungent and slightly warm, and it has the functions of dispelling cold, warming stomach, resolving phlegm and reducing qi. Therefore, in cold weather, ginger juice collides with milk, making it feel warm all over, which can be described as a clever cooperation. Since the 1980s, Nanxin milk dessert experts have re-exploited the potential. It has the characteristics of ginger and milk, and has the effects of dispelling cold, invigorating stomach and relieving cough.

Steamed brown fruit
This is a well-deserved Guangdong specialty! It is said that it originated in Zhaoqing, and those authentic steamed fruit palms are particularly huge (compared with what we can usually buy, of course). When it spread to Guangzhou, Guangzhou people brought forth the old and brought forth the new. So far, there have been many new varieties: Yaozhu Brown, Pickled Pepper Brown and Red Bean Paste Brown ... But as far as I'm concerned, I still like the most traditional steamed fruit brown.
In the cold winter, take a hot palm and peel it off layer by layer, and you will smell a thick smell of glutinous rice and bean curd. Suddenly biting down, that feeling is like a warm current rushing from Tianshan Mountain in all directions, and it seems that a martial arts master is helping you get through the major acupoints! Bite by bite, mixed with the sweetness of pork belly and the delicacy of mushrooms, is simply the best in the world. It is unique in that brown beans are very soft and delicious!
Hewei giblet radish
Hewei beef offal radish is said to have been invented by a Hui chef who lived near Guangta Temple during Guangxu period. Guangta Temple is a mosque with a long history, and it was once a Muslim settlement nearby. Because of religious beliefs, Muslims don't eat pork, so a Hui chef thought of opening a Niuxiang shop near Guangta Temple. He stewed beef intestines, beef ribs, beef lungs and radishes in a sauce with five flavors of pepper and star anise for several hours. When the beef offal is soaked thoroughly and the radish is slow to absorb the beef offal, he cuts it into small pieces and eats it with a small bamboo stick with Chili sauce. It's called "He Wei Niu Za Radish", and the entrance is unforgettable. As soon as this smell came out, it really attracted nearby Muslims and even non-Muslims to visit. As a result, Guangzhou people who are good at eating have followed suit, and spicy beef offal radish has spread to this day.
