I believe that when it comes to Cantonese cuisine, the first thing travelers think of may be morning tea, or clay pot rice and other familiar foods. However, in fact, there is also a city of food in Guangdong with more authentic snacks, which is still suitable for the trip of food. This is Chaozhou.

It is said that Chaozhou cuisine and snacks can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, and by the time of the Tang Dynasty, they became extremely important delicacies at that time. Even Han Yu wrote about Chaozhou cuisine: "... Zhang Ju Ma Jiazhu, so it's strange. The rest of the dozens, mo mo sigh "poem. Later, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chaozhou cuisine entered its peak, with many old brands and various categories in the city. Until now, it is said that there are still more than 1 kinds of snacks in Chaozhou, which has become a treasure place for travelers to yearn for food.

However, among the numerous Chaozhou snacks, Pony likes to eat the following four kinds of snacks, which are worth trying by friends who come to Chaozhou for the first time.

beef offal kway teow

In my trip to Chaozhou, perhaps my favorite was beef offal kway teow, which was rarely heard of before. However, looking at the boss's skillful movements, I suddenly have a sense of familiarity. Put the seasoning into the soup bowl, put the kway teow and bean sprouts into the boiling water pot, drain and put them into the bowl after the soup is cooked, then put the beef offal into the bowl after scalding, then add the most authentic secret beef bone soup, and finally sprinkle with toppings such as onion, ginger, minced garlic and beef. At this moment, a most special snack in Chaozhou is released. While eating kway teow and beef offal, have a fresh soup base, not to mention how delicious it is.

bitter juice

in pony's mind, the second place for Chaozhou snacks is bitter juice, which is heavier than the soup base of kway teow, and is somewhat similar to the soup base of Hu spicy soup. Although the ingredients are similar to those of the kway teow, the kway juice will be added to it, and some heavier toppings such as pork intestines, braised eggs, mushrooms and mustard tuber will be added to the toppings. If it's a snack with a strong flavor, my juice will definitely surprise you.

where to eat for travelers: Dayin Street and Kaiyuan Laoqi are highly recommended.

rice rolls

When traveling in Chaozhou, breakfast is a must. Generally, rice rolls in Chaozhou is divided into two flavors: sweet and salty, while Pony prefers salty rice rolls. The production method is very simple, and an authentic Chaozhou rice rolls can be produced in 2-3 minutes. Although the time is short, all kinds of ingredients, such as beef, pork, shrimp, Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts, etc., can be added in a short time. After adding all kinds of ingredients to the prepared rice rolls peel, serve it on the plate and pour the sauce on it. What makes rice rolls in Chaozhou different is that it often uses peanut butter and sesame sauce.

Where do travelers eat? There are many places to eat rice rolls in Chaozhou. Pony prefers Amin rice rolls and Haiyang rice rolls. In fact, it's delicious to find any one, so you don't have to choose too much.

Duck Mother Twins

If you like desserts, you must not miss Duck Mother Twins. Although fame sounds a bit like a meat dish, it is actually a sugary food, and the ingredients are mostly tremella, lotus seeds, sweet potatoes and lilies, etc. The most authentic one on that day belongs to the ingredients similar to glutinous rice balls in the middle, which is super delicious.

Where do travelers eat? There are also many shops in Chaozhou, and most of them will choose Hu Rongquan, a store in online celebrity, but personally, the taste here is average.

The above are some special snacks that Pony tasted during his trip to Chaozhou, which is unforgettable so far. So have you ever traveled to Chaozhou? Do you have any special snacks to recommend to everyone?
