Chaoshan was called Chaozhou in ancient times, and now it includes Shantou, Chaozhou, Jieyang and Shanwei. Because of the hurry, I only went to Chaozhou this time, but I believe there will be a second and third trip to Chaoshan in the near future, because it is really delicious.
Because it is not far from Fujian, Chaozhou's food culture has many similarities with southern Fujian. Remember what I said, the places where the two provinces meet are basically delicious.
In Chaozhou, five meals a day is the norm, of course, long meat is inevitable, but the happiness of eating food is also real. Today, I will report what we ate in those days. As for those who stepped on the thunder, I will also talk about it together, so I can give you a reminder.
It is said that a day's plan lies in the morning, and I didn't want to sleep late for a few days in Chaozhou. After all, every meal is worth cherishing.
Haiyang rice rolls
Having come to Guangdong, I always feel something is missing if I don't eat a meal in rice rolls. There are many rice rolls shops in the streets and lanes of Chaozhou, which is different from the sweet soy sauce in rice rolls. The final sauce in Chaozhou rice rolls is usually braised pork juice and sesame sauce, and occasionally it is seasoned with preserved vegetables or garlic oil.
After eating several restaurants, the seasoning is not enough or the oyster sauce is too strong. The recommended one is Haiyang rice rolls, an old Chaozhou brand, and the seasoning is just right. The signature Chinese cabbage beef sunny-side-up, with sweet cabbage and fresh beef, is highly recommended.
If you don't like the taste of sesame sauce, you can choose marinated rice rolls, and ask a local friend about it. There is a nameless shop doing very well, which is located next to the old movie theater in Chaozhou. If you want to eat it, you might as well make a special trip there.

Kuiyuanlaoer special Guo juice
Chaoshan people are famous for their love of glutinous rice, and there are countless kinds of glutinous rice, among which the most suitable one is glutinous rice juice. The way to make the kway sauce is to roast the rice paste first, then cut it into pieces of white triangular rice slices, and then pour them with various braised flavors such as pork, oil and tofu, which is a bit like the combination of Chaoshan kway teow and Fujian pot-side paste.
Mr. Kui's special sauce has been opened in Chaozhou for several years, and has maintained a good reputation for many years. The boss wearing a white old man vest is very recognizable. The shop looks casual, and the things it makes are not sloppy at all. Otherwise, how can it stand for many years in a border like Chaozhou?
@ Bread always comes, XW
Intestinal bitter gourd juice, don't be prejudiced by the name. The large intestine of this family is very clean and blends well with the taste of bitter gourd. A bowl of warm heart and stomach in the morning is worth a try.

Hanshangshou
If you want to eat authentic Cantonese morning tea, you should first recommend this Korean restaurant to go upstairs. The store is located in Phoenix Island Park. Although the place is quite partial, the business is very good, and it is basically full by 9: 00 in the morning.
The place to eat morning tea is on the second floor. Because of the river, the scenery by the window is very good, the environment is good and the price is affordable. The group expressed their satisfaction when they ate it.
The advantage of having more people is that you can order all the common things in the morning tea menu. Shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, Shaoshao, chicken feet and ribs are all online. Just pick your favorite food.
This Phoenix quicksand bag must be close-up, and look at this excellent quicksand.

Chaoshan people eat in pursuit of the ultimate freshness, and one of the typical representatives is beef hot pot. There is a saying that is true. When hot pots all over the world are studying the soup base, Chaoshan beef hot pot beats the world with a pot of clear soup.
Guantang brothers beef hotpot
In Chaozhou, the best time to eat beef hot pot is afternoon or evening, because all the beef just delivered from the local slaughterhouse will be eaten there, and the taste is also the best. Of course, as persistent as us, we took a taxi directly to Guantang to eat, next to the slaughterhouse, and the beef was very fresh.
It's true that "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley". Although Guantang is far away from Chaozhou city (about half an hour's drive), every beef hotpot restaurant is very lively. Take this brother beef hotpot restaurant as an example, we arrived not too late. Although the store is large, the open spaces are basically full, and many tourist buses have stopped at the door.
The food was served quickly, but the speed of liquidation of a group of people was not bad. Every dish of meat was rinsed for ten seconds, and a few pairs of chopsticks were robbed as soon as it was cooked. There is basically no need to describe how delicious it is, and the empty dishes that were smashed up one by one are the best testimony.
Not only is the meat good, but the free cabbage is also very crisp and refreshing. I had the cheek to ask the waiter to add several plates.
The most surprising thing is that eight people actually only ate more than 600 when they checked out, which still included the price of wine and soda, and the price/performance ratio was simply good. It was no loss to take a taxi to eat this meal.

Laoji beef
If you don't want to go to Guantang, there are many well-known hot pot restaurants in Chaozhou city. Laoji and Abin are the most famous, and there are more tourists going to Abin to eat, while Laoji is a beef hot pot restaurant frequented by locals, with good comments in all aspects.
The bottom of the soup is clear soup of bitter gourd and white radish, which retains the most primitive Chaoshan flavor and the beef texture is not lost to Guantang at all. The biggest feeling after eating beef hot pot in Chaoshan is that what I ate in other places before may be fake.

Xin Ji sha cha beef hotpot
Sand tea is a kind of seasoning with a sense of existence in Chaozhou cuisine. It is improved from the traditional Indonesian sauce, Satay, and is often used as a dip in Chaozhou. What many people don't know is that sand tea can also be used as the bottom of hot pot. If you are used to the taste of clear soup, you may wish to try the special sand tea beef hot pot in Xinji.
It opened at four o'clock in the afternoon, and it didn't take long for people to come one after another. The double-spelling pot bottom of sand tea and clear soup is the most popular. The sand tea pot is used to rinse beef, which makes people particularly proud. Not only can the bottom of the pot be double-spelled, but the meat can also be half-spelled, so that even if there are few people, you can taste more.
Whether it is the bottom of the pot or the sand tea sauce used as dipping sauce, it is the boss's own cooking, and a lot of effort has been made.

Although Chaoshan area is not as rich as Guangfu area, it is closer to the sea, and fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish are frequent visitors on the table. There is a saying in Chaozhou: "One fresh, two fat and three times", which refers to local seafood. Let's start with the two delicious foods that Chaozhou can't miss the most-raw fish and raw salt.
Guantang original fish sheng
The most famous fish eater in Chaozhou city is the original fish eater in Guantang. Chaozhou cuisine has a feature called one dish and one dish, that is, a dish with a fixed dip, like beef hot pot with sand tea, while raw fish and shrimp also have a fixed dip.
Shredded ginger, raw onion, coriander with a little special soybean sauce and sesame oil, mix well with raw fish, and the mouth is full of rich flavor. This way of eating actually existed before the Tang Dynasty. In the idiom "golden and jade", the glutinous rice refers to raw fish, while the glutinous rice refers to side dishes such as shredded ginger.
Shrimp is more recommended to dip in soy sauce mustard, just like eating sashimi at ordinary times. At first, I was a little resistant, afraid of fishy smell, but I found it was not at all, sweet and q-bomb, and I couldn't stop at all.
In addition, in addition to raw fish and shrimp, the braised goose is also delicious, which is really surprising.

Round egg wine
Chaoshan people eat seafood in pursuit of the original taste, and all kinds of raw salting are the representatives. Jianghu people call it Chaoshan poison. Pickled blood clams, pickled shrimps, pickled cream crabs, pickled shrimps ... are a must with wine, and there is no burden when used as a snack.
Round egg wine is a small shop that has been visited for several days. The boss and his wife are both from Shantou. Originally, the shop was opened in Shantou. Because my daughter went to school and came to Chaozhou with her family, she also opened the shop here together.
Seafood in coastal areas is relatively less valuable, and the price is very affordable, so it is less than 200 yuan for a meal. When I left, I added the boss's WeChat, and I am going to take a group purchase next time.

Ruiji casserole porridge
A friend who has lived in Guangdong for many years told me that when I go to Chaozhou, I must have a seafood casserole porridge and ask which one I recommend the most. I said that Rui Ji is good and the environment and service are basically absent, but I can still give it full marks for the signature casserole porridge.
The signature shrimp and crab porridge is a must. It has been waiting for a long time, but there are too many ingredients and the entrance is very fresh. Bowls after bowls can't stop. I suggest you fly to eat it.
The raw pickled crab is also very good. It has just been taken out of the freezer with ice ballast. The crab paste is very full and it is simply dipped in special sauce.
Because the menu is relatively simple, there are not many choices except porridge, so I ordered a braised goose, but the taste is not as good as that of the fish restaurant, which is not very recommended. Off-topic: rice congee, a fat sister outside the city, is also a famous place to drink night porridge, but her stomach can't hold on, so she is going to fight again next time.

Nanmiao tea house
For Chaoshan people, it is better to live without rice than tea. Drinking tea has become an indispensable part of life.
Nanmiao Teahouse is located in a small "four-point gold" old house with a history of more than 100 years. The owner repaired it as old as before and transformed it into today's tea house.
It is not far from Paifang Street. If you are tired of shopping, you can come here and have a taste of kung fu tea.
The teahouse in the small courtyard even uses a charcoal-burning red mud stove to boil water, which has a unique flavor. There are several clusters of bamboo and green plants planted on the wall, which is simple and elegant.
The Thousand Carp Tea House near the ancient city is also highly recommended by tea lovers, but it can't be done because of limited time. I recommend it to everyone here.

Kicking peach coffee
Kicking Peach Coffee is the most "online celebrity" cafe in Chaozhou. "Kicking Peach" is Chaoshan dialect, which translates to going out to play. The atmosphere of the whole cafe is the same as the name, which is quite fun.
The quality of coffee is OK, except that a young lady ordered a cup of single fir and accidentally stepped on the thunder. The other basic models are not bad, and the most important thing is that the packaging design is pleasing, which is a punching artifact like Modern China Tea Shop.
The environment is also very good, and there is a small rooftop on the second floor. If it weren't for eating more, I could probably sit here for most of the day.

Ma gu Xi Bei
Knowing this store was purely accidental. When local friends came to visit us in Chaozhou, they brought several bags of his potato. Although we were already full at that time, these bags of potato were still swept away, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best I have eaten in recent years. Personally, I prefer the taste and original flavor of matcha, and the ingredients are good to eat.
The store is located in an alley not far from the ancient city. It is almost time to smell the fragrance. You'd better call in advance and make an appointment with the boss to get it. After all, it will take a long time to wait at the scene. Because it was so delicious, I bought some bags and took them on the plane before I left.

Gufa dessert
Speaking of desserts, this ancient French dessert on Kaiyuan Road is most recommended. We also tasted the famous Hu Rongquan dessert, and it was too sweet to eat. Let's give you a warning.
Duck mother twist, the signature of ancient French dessert, is a Chaozhou feature. It refers to glutinous rice balls shaped like duck eggs. The stuffing is divided into peanuts and sesame seeds. You can add ingredients such as tremella, red dates and red beans, and the sweetness is just right.
Poplar nectar is authentic old Guangdong flavor, and 15 yuan for a material is also very conscience.

Fruit juice ice made by mixing all kinds of fresh fruits with smoothies, yogurt or lactic acid bacteria is also one of the foods that must be punched in when coming to Chaozhou. It is made now and is original.

The most famous flower aunt should be this one. When passing by, I often see a long line. After dinner, I will have a glass of fruit juice ice when I stroll in flip-flops. Don't be too comfortable. Amway avocado+Cashi yogurt and strawberry+Yakult are two combinations.

Yushi milk ice
The evaluation of this milk ice is very good, and it is not far from Paifang Street, so I took a stroll on the last night and went to eat it. There were quite a lot of places and it was quite lively. Three people ordered two servings of ice, and the amount was just right.
The fruits used in milk ice are not bad, and the taste of sea salt milk cover is quite surprising. Friends who love ice can try it, and there are surprises at the bottom.

Licorice fruit
The licorice fruit in Chaozhou is similar to the Gan Mei fruit in Fujian, but the difference is that one is drenched with licorice juice and the other is sprinkled with sour plum powder. You don't need to recommend this. You can basically find a shop on the roadside that looks fresh and delicious. It's great for appetizing or digestion.
You can choose your own fruit, and the pricing method is weighing. It is most recommended that the fruit is lotus, carambola, green awn, sweet awn and peach. The crisp taste with licorice juice is a must, which is a brand-new way to open fruit, or it may be that the fruit cut by others is always particularly delicious.
The above is almost the food record of this trip to Chaozhou. If you want to eat all the authentic Chaozhou snacks, you can completely skip the main road of Paifang Street, and the local people have the most food in the alleys.
We recommend Ximalu, Weiji's glutinous rice pig intestines and Yongji snacks, as well as various stalls that appear from time to time. It is unlikely to make mistakes to find people to queue up, so it saves time and effort to eat while walking.
Another suggestion is that it's best to go with several groups, or stay for a few more days, otherwise you won't be able to eat at all.
Generally speaking, Chaozhou is a place with a slow pace of life, which is suitable for eating and drinking aimlessly. If you are tired, you can find a teahouse to sit and drink tea. If you haven't decided where to go on New Year's Day or Chinese New Year, it will be a good choice. After all, winter in Guangdong is quite comfortable.
