There are many shops in Guangzhou with delicious snacks. If you want to taste delicious food, you can choose the following shops, which are well-known locally and taste good. They can be said to be local specialty food shops. Restaurant recommendation

Shiqi squab

Shiqi squab is famous for its ingredients.

In the last century, returned overseas Chinese in the United States brought back excellent pigeon breeds to Zhongshan, and then crossed with local pigeons to produce Shiqi squab, which is thick in meat, tight in skin and big in chest, and is suitable for any burning method.

Shiqi's most famous roast method of young pigeons is braising in soy sauce, but I didn't know until I checked the information that this braising in soy sauce was not the other way around.

ordinary shops use "cooked frying", that is, the pigeons are marinated in marinade, dried and drenched with hot oil, so that the pigeons are scalded to a braised color.

Because the ingredients in Zhongshan are good enough, they can use "raw frying" with higher difficulty coefficient.

There is no step of marinating in raw frying, but boiling oil is poured directly until it is cooked. This method requires higher quality of pigeons, and it is also more difficult to grasp the temperature of oil. In the holy place of squab like Zhongshan, there is a high probability to taste it.

Shiqi is the urban area of Zhongshan, and restaurants all over the street, regardless of the size, basically use squab as a signboard.

But you will find that the squab on the dining table of Zhongshan people is even smaller than that eaten from other places. I don't want to be short of weight, but I want to be a raw fried pigeon, preferably a young pigeon of about 13 days.

The shiny squab skin is so tight that it is even a little difficult to tear. After tearing, it is full of juice. Because pigeons are still young and their bones are crisp, 2 per capita is not too much!

Shiqi's most famous young pigeon eater is Shiqilao, an old shop opened in 1991, which specializes in local dishes consumed by the public.

There are two kinds of signboards of Shiqi squab: braised and bittern, and there are many other Cantonese dishes.

personally, I prefer to cook, and there are several branches, which are also good and cheap neighborhood shops. The price of braised pigeons has gone up several times, and there are only 22 mosquitoes.

It's best not to cut the pigeon. You can only suck the soup if you tear it open by yourself. Braised pork is a trademark, and the breast meat is not firewood at all, which is better than brine.

Huangpu Town Roasted Meat

Every food that Laoguang is most familiar with ranks, including morning tea, old fire soup and roasted meat.

I think roasted meat is a dish that can tell the level of the whole table at a glance, and Zhongshan is also recognized as the place of origin of bacon in Guangdong.

Cangzhou, a famous bacon shop in Guangzhou, has been around for 8 years, and Huangpu owners are behind it. Guangzhou Emperor Huang and Hong Kong Ronghua, the big brands of preserved meat obtained by online shopping, are all guarded by master Huang Pu.

Huangpu is one hour away from Shiqi's driving. I don't want to go to so much trouble. Shiqi has an old-fashioned gold and silver _ roasted food with authentic taste, which is small and expensive, and it doesn't support dining, but the roasted meat products of gold and silver _ are still very good.

The signature roast goose and barbecued pork are cooked without too much spices. As soon as you taste them, you will know that the baking step is well done, and the sweet and refreshing taste of the ingredients is outstanding. The sour and sweet juice without dipping is better.

preserved meat and clay pot rice are a match made in heaven. In fact, the clay pot rice cooked in a pot is also a signature, and both the clay pot rice and the young pigeon are tasted in one breath.

sanxiang town rice noodles

A day in Guangdong can be summed up in four words-porridge, noodles and rice.

Guangdong's "pink circle" is the most famous in rice rolls, but the most difficult bowl of powder for Zhongshan people to refuse is the seto powder from the small town of Sanxiang.

The most difficult thing for Sanxiang Seto powder to copy is that it is best to use local mountain spring water to wash Seto powder.

Brown rice is soaked, thrown with water, and then ground into rice flour with overnight rice. After the rice slurry is shaped, the seto rice produced by "seto" is fragrant and does not hold the belly, so it is most suitable for breakfast.

Seto flour itself is tasteless, so the toppings of Seto flour are usually rich. Barbecued pork, roasted goose, beef brisket and other oily meats, the soup base is soup with pig bones or chicken bones, and a bowl of Sanxiang Seto powder full of ingredients can really be eaten.

It's hard for the rice noodle shops in Sanxiang to widen the gap in flour, so delicious shops will make great efforts in topping.

mingzhu seto powder was originally opened next to the stone archway in Sanxiang. It has been in business for more than 4 years. It was the earliest family workshop, and now it has a branch in Shiqi because of its excellent reputation. There are more than 4 kinds of toppings, and the most recommended are edge meat wrasse and sausage wrasse.

Another excellent toppings, Yuepo Chicken Sese, is also a must in sanxiang town, but only if you don't hate ginger flavor.

their family must eat the signature chicken setae, so remember to have soup first when the rice flour is served. Chicken juice, wine and ginger are perfectly matched, and Wenchang chicken itself is quite smooth and tender.

Dongsheng Crispy Carp

Although Zhongshan is not far from the sea (Zhuhai next door is a big seafood eater), I still have a deeper experience in eating seafood.

Crispy pomfret is actually a kind of grass carp. Its protein content is unusually high, and its taste is different from that of ordinary fish-crisp and elastic, very chewy.

The most famous shop in Zhongshan for eating crispy pomfret is the Red Sun Hotel.

In their home, you can find almost all the ways to eat crispy pomfret, such as steamed fish brisket with black bean sauce, salted fish bones, boiled fish fillets and crispy pomfret with ginger. There are too many practices.

I prefer to eat with a side stove, which can best preserve the original taste of fish.

Fish slices, or minced meat to make fish balls, and scalded for 1 seconds. The crispy meat of scalded pomfret is quite firm, and the taste is unforgettable!

Xiaolan Chrysanthemum Banquet

Before I got to know Xiaolan, I learned about this place through the detergent at home. It's fate ~

Every autumn, Xiaolan holds a famous chrysanthemum party at home and abroad. On the one hand, people in Zhongshan make the best use of chrysanthemums as ingredients and invent a table and chrysanthemum-related dishes.

There are hundreds of ornamental chrysanthemums, but only four of them are sweet and astringent.

There are common chrysanthemum chicken, chrysanthemum steamed meatballs, chrysanthemum fish olive, chrysanthemum hot pot and so on. Xiaolan's restaurant will have several chrysanthemum-related dishes, even if it doesn't have a chrysanthemum banquet.

If chrysanthemums are not used to eating, I recommend you to try "Chrysanthemum Dessert".

Take Tianyuan Ice Room, a dessert shop that opened in 1989 and has the oldest qualification in Zhongshan as an example. Their signboard is a bowl of chrysanthemum water olive.

water olive is a traditional dessert with glutinous rice as the skin and red bean paste and sesame paste as the stuffing, and the soul is the chrysanthemum chaff finally sprinkled on the surface.

It tastes a bit like glutinous rice balls, with a soft and waxy mouth and a strong chrysanthemum fragrance, which is very special.

although there are still many things that have not been written, I think it is necessary to find a store to eat the above "specialties" of Zhongshan.

On the other hand, Laoguang, who can eat, has to come to Zhongshan specially. Of course, this is not the only thing. Then recommend several old shops with excellent reputation ~

Qixiang Village

Qixiang Village, which is recommended at the beginning, is one of the favorite canteens of local people. There are several kinds of most distinctive foods in Zhongshan, and the products are all good, and there are few dishes that trample thunder.

Qixiang Village, which is located next to the vegetable market, specializes in all kinds of braised private dishes, including a jar of old braised dishes, from pigeon and foie gras, which must be ordered at every table, to beef tongue, large intestine and steak, all the ingredients are delicious to the CD.

Although it's braised with old bittern, it's light.

The foie gras sold by slices is pale pink, which melts in the mouth, and the meat fragrance instantly rushes from the mouth to the forehead! Although the price is small and expensive, it costs RMB 38, but it is still worth a taste.

Tangji Seafood Restaurant

It's a good reason to come to Zhongshan for the fat and strong butter crab!

There is a kind of water crab in Nanlang, Zhongshan, which is raised in the waters at the junction of salt and fresh water. It is qualified for listing and weighs at least one catty. It is called Dwayne Douglas Johnson among crabs.

The water crab in Nanlang has both the fleshy head of the river crab and the fresh flavor of the sea crab, so it only needs to be steamed simply.

Squeeze open the crab shell and the juice will come up immediately. First, drink the soup, then remove the meat, and even eat the crab legs clean.

Every year from the end of May to mid-August of the lunar calendar, butter crabs are limited to the market, and everything you can eat is earned!

There is a seafood street in Nanlang that specializes in eating crabs, which is close to the place where crab farmers trade in Yakou Town. If you don't want to haggle so much, just go to Tangji Seafood Restaurant.

Their home is one of the most famous places to eat seafood in Yakou. The quality of fresh seafood is excellent, and it is cost-effective for 15 people per capita.

Songpipeng Hotel

Zhongshan is famous for eating squab, but it is impossible to drop it without roast goose ~

As the name suggests, Songpipeng Hotel is a well-known fly restaurant, and its business is so good that it is hard to find a lunch market on weekdays.

although the environment is not so good, it is very particular about material selection and practice.

The geese should use Magang geese less than two months old, blow air, boil water, scald the skin, supercool, burn litchi firewood to keep the temperature, and wait patiently for the wonderful chemical reaction between the goose skin and the marinade.

The goose meat is well cooked. The goose skin is crisp and the goose meat is tender, with a piece of fat and thin, and a thin layer of fat. The mouth is full of mixed fragrance of wine, fruit and oil.

The goose skin is crispy and tender, and the fat is even. A thin layer of fat makes the roast goose taste more tender and smooth. Half a roast goose with 8 mosquitoes is enough, enough for 3-4 people.

yongli tofu flower

an old-fashioned sugar store of my age, with a small storefront and a sense of the times, but the taste of yongli is definitely a memory of a generation of Zhongshan people.

Yong Li's sugar and water are divided into four categories, namely bean curd, double-skin milk, dairy products and snacks. Except beef balls, all of them only need single digits, and the cost performance is really excellent.

Tofu flower and double skin milk are most recommended. Tofu flower is quite smooth and ice-cold to cool off the summer heat.

Double-skin milk is also very different from Shunde's, with a lighter milk flavor and a stronger bean flavor, which is also delicious.

I've also thought about the gift. It's appropriate to bring almond cakes.

The almond cake of "selling dog meat by hanging sheep's head" is actually made of mung beans. The first one is the century-old brand Zuixiang Garden in Zhongshan, but I don't know why when it comes to almond cake, it is automatically associated with Macao's specialty.

Apart from delicious food and Sun Yat-sen, Zhongshan doesn't have a particularly eye-catching tourist card, but the whole city gives people a comfortable and cozy feeling.

I didn't write about Shaxi this time, because it's my next place to pull weeds. Please let me know if you have any recommendations!
