Honored! My hometown food is on the list! It is Maoming, Guangdong in the "Food Map" in South China. Let me forward this good news to the "commoners"~ I believe that gourmets are particularly interested in the food in every place, so let me, a native Let’s introduce to you some of the most representative delicacies in my hometown from Maoming, Guangdong~
1. Moon cake - Toluo cake
This is the “star carry” in our hometown Maoming It can be said that everyone in the entire Maoming area knows about the existence of "handle". Even the Zhanjiang area next door is buying our Toluo cakes produced in Maoming~ Which company is better at making Tooluo cakes? The best in Huazhou.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household has prepared tuoluo cakes. Some of them are bought by themselves, and some are given by relatives and friends. They are all of this variety! It’s not the small ones on the market, this one is filled with so much stuffing! It usually consists of shredded coconut, melon seeds, peanuts, ham and other ingredients, and it's just full of fillings.
It’s also very big, bigger than my face. This is no joke. It’s very common to see mooncakes as big as a washbasin. Friends who haven’t seen them may not believe that there are such big mooncakes. Cut it into small pieces and eat it with tea. It usually weighs four to five kilograms, and it takes two or three people in the family to finish it. It tastes good, but it’s easy to get tired of it if you eat too much. My favorite is to cut the moon cake crust. I eat it, and then my mother scolds me every time...
2. Soy sauce
People in our hometown are really good at stir-frying chicken with soy sauce, and boiled chicken needs to be dipped in soy sauce and boiled Pour some soy sauce on the pork soup, and some soy sauce on the fried vegetables! In Maoming's seasoning rankings, the two biggest names on the list are oil and salt, and soy sauce is definitely the third.
But we don’t call it soy sauce, we call it “soy sauce”. Among them, salang soy sauce is the most famous (produced in Dianbai area), and it is also particularly popular in western Guangdong because it is sweet, delicious and umami. It's relatively rich, but it's becoming more and more expensive now.
3. Dustpan cooking
When it comes to dustpan cooking, my mouth is watering again! In the whole Maoming area, "Nansheng Town" is undoubtedly the most famous for its dustpan cooking. I remember that I was so hungry for authentic dustpan cooking two years ago that I drove 60 kilometers with my cousins ??just to get it. Went to eat two dustpan cooks, and then packed three to take home...
Dustpan cooks are actually made by pouring ground rice milk into a small dustpan and cooking it with steam, so it is called dustpan cooks, but now Most of them are packed in small trays because they are durable. After they are cooked, you can sprinkle them with white sesame seeds, minced garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce (the boss will make them) and eat them. They are super delicious and I make them every time I go home. Snacks to eat!

4. Huazhou Beef Brisket Noodles
This is also the existence of YYDS! It is highly sought after by people from Maoming and even Zhanjiang and Guangxi. Men, women, old and young love to eat it. The most common stalls in the streets and alleys of Huazhou area are the stalls selling beef brisket noodles. Many people may give it a disdainful "snap", and then Isn't it just a bowl of beef brisket noodles? How can it be said to be so delicious?
No, no, in the eyes of Mao people, it is really delicious. It is different from ordinary beef brisket powder. This kind is all stewed in a big pot, and it is a whole piece. Beef, brisket, beef offal, etc. are stewed together. You can use scissors to cut as much as you want into the piece of meat. It is now 3 yuan/skewer. Use a small fork to pierce the beef and then cut it.
Of course, you can also ask for one for 5 yuan, 10 yuan, etc. There is no upper limit on the price. As long as your wallet is "strong" enough, you won't be able to defeat the boss, but it may let you My wallet/balance has been successfully "losing weight" for half a month. It's not that the boss is "black-hearted", it's because the portion is small. One skewer is actually only two pieces of meat. If you want to have a satisfying meal, it doesn't necessarily cost 40 or 50 yuan for one person. It's satisfying, so I just eat more than ten yuan each time to enjoy it.
Many people will order beef brisket noodles when they go shopping and are hungry or hungry at work. The business is really booming, so now there are more and more of them, and the prices are getting higher and higher. The more expensive it gets. Let me tell you in a low voice, the boss will trick outsiders! When I hear that your accent is not local, the price is nearly twice as high as usual.
The above four delicacies are all very representative. When we talk about them, our conversation will suddenly open up. We are discussing which one is the most delicious and which one is the most embarrassing. Then make an appointment to check in at that store next time~ However, these delicacies must be authentic to be delicious. If you want to check in, it is best to ask a local for a recommendation.
