Boat porridge
In the western suburbs of old Guangzhou, litchi trees are planted on both sides of the river, which is 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. Among them, there is a boat that specializes in "boat porridge". If tourists on shore or on another ship 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 sold 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 and ginger slices. Boil it immediately before eating, it is delicious, 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.
Fried snail
River snail is different from stone snail, which is characterized by thin shell and thick meat. Stir-frying with a fragrant herb called perilla will produce a strange pungent and sweet taste. This peculiar smell is not only liked by southerners, but also by northerners, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and foreign friends. They often enjoy fried snails with perilla in street food stalls (or high-end hotels and restaurants) near the dining table in Xiao Mu. When frying, you can also add seasonings such as pepper, onion or garlic, lobster sauce and salt, which will taste better.
Steamed rice rolls
A rice product, also called steamed rice roll 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 Wayne. She studied under a famous teacher and learned the special technique of steaming sausage powder. Its rice rolls are "as white as snow, as thin as paper, shiny, smooth and delicious". Rice rolls, also known as Juan Fen and Zhu rice rolls (because it looks like pig intestines), was created by Pantang and Xiange in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time and is now available in snack bars, teahouses, restaurants and hotels. It uses a special multi-layer steamer or cloth to steam rice slurry into thin skin one by one, and add meat, fish fillets, shrimps and so on. Steamed, rolled into long strips and cut into plates. The raw materials are beef sausage, pork sausage, fish fillet sausage and shrimp sausage. If there is no stuffing, it is called vegetarian sausage; Adding sugar to rice slurry is called sweet sausage.
Shahefen
Shahefen is a very popular rice product in Guangzhou. Therefore, Fen is named after the Shahe River. Its practice is to soak rice in the Jiulong Spring on Baiyun Mountain, grind it into slurry, steam it and cut it into strips. Shahefen has a history of 100 years. Its powder is white, thin and tough, and its eating methods include dry frying, wet frying, soaking (soup powder) and cold salad. Shahe Hotel held a special banquet for Shahe rice noodles. In addition to salty food and sweets, it is also made of colorful Shahe powder squeezed from various fruits and vegetables, with bright colors and different tastes.
Double steamed milk
It is said that the farmer He in Shunde accidentally knocked over the pattern of buffalo milk when he was making breakfast early in the morning. Soon, an old friend who knows the goods bought the formula and opened a food stall. This Shunde double skin milk has also become 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 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 crust; After the milk is completely cooled, leave the skin to remove the milk, then add fine sugar and protein to the poured milk and stew it on the fire, and soon it will form a layer of skin again; 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 Wenxin old shop next to Tianhe Hongcheng Square, and you will know how popular it is.
Wenxin old shop pays attention to the selection of materials, so the color and taste are dignified and pure. A newly stewed bowl will be served steaming, and the aroma will be as warm as Jiangnan kannika nimtragol in his early twenties; Swallowing a bite, sweet but not greasy, looks like the thin skin and red lips of kannika nimtragol, which can give you a gentle desire for a better 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 with red beans, lotus seeds, chicken nest eggs, raisins and ginger juice. In hot summer, one more choice is to be in a good mood.
Guangzhou people love to clear away heat and detoxify, so they can't eat dessert without Guiling Ointment. It is best to add turtle paste to sweet red bean paste: bean paste is thick and sweet, and turtle paste is slippery and bitter, which complement each other. Wenxin's Guiling Cream belongs to the head store and is sent by the branch, but there is still a key point in the bean paste: choose big red bean which is easy to cook, shell it with high fire, stew the meat with low fire, cook it slowly for two hours, and then add fine sugar to taste, so that the bean paste will not have the astringency of water when eating, and it will be fine and even, and there will be no green and yellow car-scrapping.
Nan Xin Jiang Qiang nai
Ginger juice hitting milk was first produced in Shawan Town, Panyu County. Shawan is a land of plenty, and raising buffalo to produce 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 various dairy snacks, among which ginger juice is the most famous, and it is spread all over restaurants in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, milk is sweet and cold, which can replenish deficiency, while ginger is pungent and slightly warm, which can dispel cold, warm stomach, resolve phlegm and lower qi. Therefore, ginger juice collides with milk in cold weather, making it feel warm all over, which can be described as ingenious cooperation. Since 1980s, Nanxin milk dessert experts have rediscovered their potential and developed it. It has the characteristics of ginger and milk, and has the effects of dispelling cold, invigorating stomach and relieving cough. Many Japanese and American guests have come here to taste it, and some regular customers often buy take-away food to eat at home, which is very popular with consumers.

194 Guangzhou Food Festival won the title of "Golden Snack";

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 extremely 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, Boba 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 beans. Suddenly biting down, that feeling is like a warm current coming from Tianshan Mountain in all directions. It seems that a martial arts expert is helping you get through the major acupoints! Chewing 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 five kinds of sauces, such as pepper and star anise, for several hours. After the beef offal was soaked thoroughly, the radish absorbed the beef offal very slowly, so he cut it into small pieces and ate it with a small bamboo stick with Chili sauce. It is called "He Wei Niu Za Radish" and its entrance is unforgettable. As soon as this smell came out, it really attracted Muslims and even non-Muslims nearby 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.
Ou Ji Cheng Shang Tang Xia ren wonton
Wonton (called Wonton in the North) and Wonton Noodles are popular snacks in Guangzhou. There is a famous "loveless pair" in He Danru in Qing Dynasty. "If you have wine, why don't you buy the moon a drink? If you have no money, you have to eat wonton. " It can be seen that wonton and wonton noodles were both popular foods at that time. Xiguan Shrimp Wonton is located atNo. 127, Shifu Road, Xiguan Food Street. It is one of the best shrimp wonton in Xiguan and has been awarded the title of "famous snack" since 1956. Its soup is carefully cooked with shrimp, native fish and pig bones. Wonton stuffing is made of fresh pork, fresh shrimp and fresh eggs, wrapped in thin wonton skin and cooked. The cooked wonton is pink and tender, delicate and attractive, so it has the reputation of "glass wonton". 1997 was awarded the title of "Chinese Famous Snack" in China.
Shun Ji Ye zi Xue Gao
Coconut ice cream made in Shunji Ice Room, No.79 Bao Hua Road, Liwan District is a famous historical brand snack in Xiguan. It was originally created by vendor Lv Shun in the 1920s. It uses thick and firm coconut meat as raw material, processed into fresh shredded coconut and squeezed into coconut juice, and then mixed with fresh buffalo milk, eggs and sugar. The unique production technology makes the ice cream soft, smooth and delicious, with rich coconut fragrance and unique flavor. In 1950s and 1960s, some foreign heads of state and distinguished guests, such as Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia, appreciated and liked it. Since 1956, it has been awarded the title of "Guangzhou Famous Brand Food".
Kai Lv Ji dousha
Green bean paste is a very popular dessert in Guangzhou. The dried tangerine peel and mung bean paste produced by Kaiji dessert shop located at No.889 Jinlong East Road, Liwan District is famous for its smoothness, sweetness, heat clearing and unique flavor. For this reason, the boss, Ye Jiankai, was dubbed as "the opening of bean paste". Kaiji mung bean sauce uses fresh and high-quality mung beans as raw materials, adds appropriate amount of herbs and dried tangerine peel, seasoning with white sugar and yellow sugar, and boils at a proper temperature to make mung beans "sand" and "coat" (shell).
Beijing Road Pedestrian Street:
Charm index: ★★★★★★★
Highlight: As the most popular place for holidays, Beijing Road (including Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, Malaysian Station Food Street, Beijing South and other places) has almost become a paradise for snacks in Guangzhou. Tradition or novelty, there is nothing you can't eat here, and the biggest fear is that you can't eat it. Moreover, because it is located in a bustling business district and the relevant departments are properly managed, the health problems that ordinary people often worry about when eating snacks and snacks hardly need to be considered.
Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street:
Charm index: ★★★★★★★
Highlight: As the oldest and most amorous place in Guangzhou, old stalls and shops can be seen everywhere. It is a place where you can eat the most guangdong snacks, and the production method is the most authentic. Maybe you were drinking sweet ginger and milk, and you accidentally bumped into the Xiguan woman downstairs.
Tianhe City:
Charm index: ★★★★★☆.
Highlight: Guangzhou is a place where business has flourished in recent years. The food court on the sixth floor almost includes snacks and snacks, and there is quite comfortable central air conditioning. The fly in the ointment is that perhaps the traffic here is too large, and some delicious things are not authentic, and the taste is worse than that of Shangxiajiu.
Zhuangyuan Square and Popular Frontiers:
Charm index: ★★★★★☆.
Highlight: They are frequented by primary and secondary school students, and there are often many novel and exciting snacks and snacks that ordinary people dare not swallow. Attractive because of freshness and charm.
Shipai East Road:
Charm index: ★★★☆☆☆
Recommended reason: one word can sum up the characteristics of edible things here, that is "miscellaneous"; It's also a word that turns people off: chaos. There are so many people in this place that it tastes a little uncomfortable.
There are several special foods in Guangzhou: snacks, seafood, Cantonese cuisine and snacks.
Snacks refer to snacks that can be seen everywhere in the street when shopping, and most of them are sold by some mobile vendors (called ghosts in Guangdong). Fish eggs are balls made of flour and fish and cooked with curry juice. You can go to 7- 1 1 convenience store to try curry fish eggs, 2.5 yuan/string/four. You can try this snack all over Beijing Road. Beijing Road is a shopping pedestrian street in Guangzhou, which is cheaper than Tianhe City and more fashionable than Shangxiajiu Road. In that street, you can try making tea, there is a big cheese downstairs in KFC, and you can also buy all kinds of kebabs within sight. There is a shop called "Food Street" on the street near Xindaxin. Radish beef offal is a must, but unfortunately the weight is getting less and less. If you are not satisfied, walk out of the corner of Xindaxin, turn left and walk 20 meters. There is an alley called Motor Station, which is a snack street. Please help yourself.
Seafood is a great attraction for northerners to come to Guangdong. Anyway, it's much cheaper than in the north. Before and after the Spring Festival, the market price of seafood is not high, and the variety is also rich. Almost all the larger Guangdong restaurants serve seafood, but the price is not cheap. I personally recommend that the food between Tianlong Hotel and Times Square behind the North Tianhe overpass on Guangzhou Avenue is fresh, cheap and delicious. A few days ago, I saw a catty of rock shrimp in 8 yuan and1flower crab in 3 yuan. Shellfish are also abundant. If your whole family lives in Henan (the south bank of the Pearl River) and doesn't want to go that far, there are two second-best choices, Dongjiang seafood chain store in Qiaojiao Village Bus Station of Guangzhou Bridge, where the seafood tastes good, but the price is slightly higher. Or BenQ under the Hai Yin Bridge.
Cantonese cuisine refers to Guangdong dinner dishes that can be elegant. In most local restaurants, there are some outstanding specialties. Be sure to try Guangdong's old fire soup and drink it before meals. If you don't know what those ingredients are, ask what the soup is today. Just try it. Very nutritious. Cantonese cuisine is mainly light, and you can have a steamed fish, which reflects the enthusiasm of Cantonese people. You will also find that the vegetables here are much greener than those in other places, both because of the sunshine and because of this practice. Broccoli, Chinese cabbage and lettuce are common vegetables in rice market. If you think it tastes too weak, there is also an O series trial cooking, but it is definitely not possible. Let's listen to the waiter's recommendation again
Dim sum is very popular in Guangdong. Morning tea, afternoon tea and evening tea all cross the rice market. Local people drink tea nearby, while foreigners drink tea in old brands, because of different purposes. I suggest reading it when you go shopping on Shangxiajiu Road. The vicinity of Shangxiajiu is called Xiguan, which is the oldest area in Guangzhou. So far, there are many distinctive old buildings, so there are many old brands. Usually, these restaurants serve Cantonese food and refreshments at different time periods. The famous Taotaoju, Lianxianglou and Guangzhou Restaurant are all here. The price is slightly higher, but it is absolutely authentic. 14: 00- 17: 00 afternoon tea, various snacks are priced in several categories, usually a few yuan per serving, and there are small dishes, such as barbecued pork buns, chicken feet, ribs, radish tripe, pork feet ginger, porridge noodles and so on. Guangzhou Pearl Sausage and Bula rice rolls are unique. Fried beef and rice noodles are another flavor. Boat porridge and Japanese porridge are rich in materials, but I prefer Chaozhou side dishes attached to rice porridge.
In addition: the following are some supplementary opinions of a netizen silly rabbit:
If you have a lot of money, you can eat the essence of Cantonese cuisine. Recommended:
High-end: Donghai Fishing Village and New Litchi Bay, which produce exquisite and delicious food, but the price is certainly high.
More upscale: Guangzhou Restaurant, Shamian Shengli Restaurant.
Guangdong food is relatively light, and some friends in the north may not be used to it at first.
There are also some famous snacks, which I posted in my last post: Wu Zhanji in Shangxiajiu, Tangxianxia wonton in Dizhou, and Nanxin double skin milk in Europe.
There are also some gourmets who recommend Yuexiu Niu Nan Samsung Soup, Dongguan Roasted Goose Powder under the West Green Leaf Pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River, changshou road Jianji Noodles and Yin Ji Shrimp rice rolls in Wenchang Road.
These snacks are very cheap. Generally, there is a bowl of 5- 10 yuan to ensure that you can taste the delicious food in Guangzhou. :)
I recommend Cantonese dim sum: thin-skinned shrimp dumplings (only fresh shrimps are delicious)
Egg tart (and pomegranate egg tart now)
Chicken feet (that is, prepared chicken feet)
There are also barbecued pork buns and lotus seed buns.
