What's a good beef hot pot in Chaozhou? What's good to eat in Chaozhou?

In Chaozhou, you must eat the local beef hot pot, very delicious, very local flavor. Everyone eats the original beef. Besides that, there are some food to try for breakfast, and local fish and crab seafood can also be tasted. It won't be too bad.

Breakfast

It is said that a day's work lies in the morning, and I don't want to sleep for several days in Chaozhou. After all, every meal is worth cherishing.

Sea intestinal noodles

Came to Guangdong, but always feel that intestinal noodles in the missing meal or something. There are many intestinal noodle stores in the streets of Chaozhou, and the sweet soy sauce on the intestinal noodle in Guangzhou is not the same. The sauce at the end of the Teochew bowel noodles is usually marinara sauce and sesame sauce, occasionally flavored with pickled vegetables or garlic oil.

After eating a few of them, either there wasn't enough seasoning or the oyster sauce was too thick. I recommend this Haiyang sausage noodle, a long-established Teochew restaurant with just the right amount of seasoning. Highly recommend the signature cabbage and beef one-side fry with sweet cabbage, fresh beef and a nice yellow color.

If you're not used to the flavor of sesame sauce, you can opt for the intestinal noodles, a kind of marinade, ask a local friend. There's an obscure store that does a great job. It is located next to the old Chaozhou movie theater. If you want to eat it, you might want to make a special trip there.

Kuiyuan Er specialty potstickers

The Chaoshan people are famous for their love of coarse grits, which are available in countless varieties, and one of the most suitable for eating in the morning is the sauce of coarse grits. The sauce is made by baking the grits before cutting them into white triangular pieces of rice, then topping them with a variety of marinades such as large intestine and lard tofu, kind of like a combination of Teochew _sticks_ and Hokkien potstickers.

Quill's specialty sauces have been around for some years in Teochew, and have maintained a good reputation over the years. The owner in the old white man's vest is recognizable. The store looks casual, and what's made isn't sloppy at all. How else could it have stood for years in the Teochew land?

Bitter melon juice, do not be prejudiced against it as soon as you hear the name. The large intestine in this house is handled very cleanly and blends well with the flavor of bitter melon. It's worth a try for a warming bowl in the morning.

Hanshou Lou

For some authentic Cantonese morning tea, push this Korean restaurant upstairs first. The restaurant is located in Phoenix Chau Park. It's a bit out of the way, but business is good and it's almost full by 9am.

The place for morning tea is on the second floor. Because it is near the river, the view near the window is very good. The environment is good and the price is affordable. That group of people are satisfied when they eat.

The advantage of having a large crowd is that you can order all the more common basic things in the morning tea menu. Shrimp dumplings, intestinal noodles, steamed dumplings, chicken claws, ribs are all online. Choose your favorite food.

This Phoenix quicksand bun must get a close-up. Check out the excellent quicksand.

Beef hot pot

The Teochew people pursue extreme freshness when it comes to food, and one of the typical representations of this is beef hot pot. There is a saying. When hot pots all over the world are working on soup bases, Chaoshan beef hot pot is dominated by a pot of clear soup.

Guantang Brothers Beef Hot Pot

In Chaozhou, the best time to eat beef hot pot is in the afternoon or evening, when all the beef freshly delivered from the local slaughterhouse is served there for the best flavor. Of course, obsessive people like us take a taxi directly to Guantang to eat, next to the slaughterhouse, where the beef is fresh.

"Wine is not afraid of the deep alley" is true. Although Guantang is far from downtown Chaozhou (about half an hour's drive), every beef hot pot restaurant is bustling. Take this Brothers Beef Hot Pot restaurant for example. We arrived not too late. The store was huge, but the open space was basically full, and there were many tour buses parked in front of the entrance.

The food is served quickly, but the group of people clearing it out isn't bad either. Each plate of meat was poured down to shabu-shabu for ten seconds, grabbing a few pairs of chopsticks

The most surprising thing is that when I checked out, eight people actually ate just over 600 yuan, and that's including the price of wine and sodas. The price/performance ratio is simply good. I took a cab to this meal, no less.

Old Beef

If you don't want to go to Guantang, there are many well-known hot pot restaurants in downtown Chaozhou. Lao Ji and Abin are the most famous, with more tourists going to Abin for dinner, while Lao Ji is a beef hot pot restaurant frequented by locals. The reviews are good in all aspects.

The soup base is bitter melon and white radish broth, retaining the most original Chaoshan flavor, beef texture is not lost to the dunking soup. After coming to Chaoshan to eat beef hot pot, the biggest feeling is that what you have eaten before in other places may be fake.

New Shacha Beef Hot Pot

Shacha is a seasoning in Chaozhou cuisine. It is a modification of the traditional Indonesian sauce satay, which is commonly used for dipping in Teochew. What many people don't realize is that satay can also be used as a hot pot base. If you are used to the flavor of clear soup, come to Xinji to try the special beef hotpot with satay.

The doors open at 4 p.m. and it doesn't take long for people to show up. Shacha clear soup double-boiled bottom is the most popular, Shacha pot double-boiled bottom is to make people stand out. Not only can you use the double-boiled bottom, but you can also use half-cooked meat, which allows you to try a few more types even with a small crowd.

Both the pot base and the sriracha sauce used as a dipping sauce are made by the owner's wife herself with a lot of effort.

Fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish

The Chaoshan region, though not as rich in produce as the Canton region, is closer to the sea. Fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish are regulars on the table. There is a saying in Chaozhou: "one fresh, two fat, three times", referring to the local seafood. Let's start with this party, two of the best delicacies in Chaozhou, - raw fish and raw pickled fish.

Original raw fish in Guantang

The most famous fish eater in Chaozhou city is this Guantang original fish eater. Teochew cuisine has a feature called one dish, which is a dish that has a fixed dipping sauce, like sand tea beef hot pot, and fish and shrimp also have a fixed dipping sauce.

Shredded ginger, raw scallions, cilantro, a little special soy sauce, sesame oil and raw fish mixed with a mouth full of rich flavor. This way of eating actually existed before the Tang Dynasty. In the idiom of "golden oyster and jade oyster," the oyster refers to the raw fish, while the oyster is a side dish, such as shredded ginger.

Shrimp is more recommended to be dipped in soy sauce and wasabi, just like sashimi. I was a little resistant at first, fearing the fishy flavor. I found that at the entrance is completely impossible. It was so sweet and Q-tastic that I couldn't stop.

Also, the halibut goose was really surprisingly good in addition to the raw fish and shrimp.

Round Egg Wine

The Chaoshanese eat seafood in pursuit of the original flavor, and a great variety of raw and salted vegetables are also in the mix. The jianghu people call it Chaoshan poison. Pickled clams, pickled shrimp, pickled cream crab, pickled shrimp . Wine is a must, no burden to stay up all night.

Round egg wine is a small store that has been shopping for days. The owner and his wife are from Shantou. The original store was opened in Shantou, because their daughter went to school, the family came to Chaozhou, and she opened the small store here together.

Seafood in coastal areas is relatively less valuable and affordable. A meal like this would cost less than 200 bucks. When I left, I added the owner's WeChat, ready for the next group purchase.

Rui casserole congee

Friends living in Guangdong for many years told me to go to Chaozhou must come to a seafood casserole congee, asked to recommend which one is the best. They said Rui Ji is good, the environment and service can be said to be basically no, but the signature casserole congee we can still give it full marks.

The signature shrimp and crab congee is a must. It has been waiting for a long time

Because the menu is relatively simple, in addition to the congee does not have much choice, so another order of braised goose, but the flavor is not as good as the raw fish that is not very recommended. Off-topic: rice congee, fat girl outside the city, is also famous for evening congee place, but the stomach can not hold out, ready to fight next time.

Other drinks

Nanmiao teahouse

For the Chaoshan people, a day without rice is better than a day without tea. Drinking tea has become an integral part of life.

The Miu Tea House is housed in a small tidal "four-pointed gold" old house, which has a history of more than 100 years. The owners restored it to its former glory and transformed it into the teahouse it is today.

Not far from Pai Fang Street. If you are tired of shopping, you can come here to try the kung fu tea.

The teahouse in the small courtyard even uses a charcoal-burning red clay stove to boil water, which is unique. A few clusters of bamboo and greenery are planted along the fence, making it quaint and elegant.

Li Qian Teahouse near the ancient city is also highly recommended by tea lovers. Due to time constraints, I wasn't able to finish it on time, so I recommend it to everyone here.

Kick Peach Cafe

Kick Peach Cafe is the most "internet celebrity" cafe in Chaozhou. Kicking Peach" is a Teochew dialect, which translates to "going out to play". The atmosphere of the café is as fun as its name.

The quality of the coffee is fine, except for a young lady who ordered a single fir and accidentally stepped on mine. The other base cups are good. The most important thing is the packaging design is pleasing to the eye, like a modern Chinese tea store to beat the clock.

The environment is also very good. There's a small rooftop on the second floor. If I hadn't eaten more, I probably could have sat here most of the day.

Maguxi Cup

I knew about this store purely by chance. When a local friend came to visit us in Chaozhou, he brought a few bags of potatoes from home. Although a few of us were full at the time, the bags of potatoes were swept away. It's no exaggeration to say that they were the best I've had in years. I preferred the matcha and original flavors, and the ingredients were delicious.

The store is in an alley not far from the old town. Come soon when you smell the aroma. It's best to call ahead and make an appointment with the owner to pick it up. After all, the scene to wait a long time. Because it's so delicious, I bought a few packages to take on the plane before I left.

Ancient desserts

When it comes to desserts, I recommend this old-fashioned dessert on Kaiyuan Road. We also tried the famous Hu Rong Quan dessert, which we found too sweet. Let's give you a thunderbolt.

The ancient dessert's signature, Mama Duck's Sesame Flower, is a Teochew specialty that refers to soup dumplings shaped like duck eggs. The filling is divided into peanuts and sesame seeds. You can add silver fungus, red dates and red beans. Do-it-yourself, it's soft and Q-shaped, with just the right amount of sweetness to control.

Yeung Chi Manna is an authentic old Cantonese flavor, and the ingredients are conscientious at $15 a serving.

YiLao Cinema Juice Ice

Juice ice made from a variety of fresh fruits mixed with smoothies, yoghurt or lactobacillus is one of Teochew's must-hit treats, too. It's ready-made and original.

The most famous would be this Auntie Flora, which is often seen in a long line when passing by. After dinner, a glass of juice ice while slipping around in flip-flops, not too comfortable. Amway avocado cashmere yogurt and strawberry Yakult two combinations.

Stone Milk Ice

This Milk Ice is very well rated, and is not far from the Pai Fang Street, so I picked the last night to stroll in and eat. The place is quite a lot, quite lively. Three people ordered two pieces of ice, the measurement is just right.

Ice with fruit are good, sea salt milk cover flavor is also quite a surprise. Friends who love ice can try, there is a surprise at the bottom.

Ouya Licorice

Licorice fruits in Teochew language are very much like those of Fujian licorice plums, except that one is drizzled with licorice juice, and the other is sprinkled with sour plum powder. This one is not particularly recommended. Just look at any roadside for fresh ones that are delicious. It's great for both appetizing and digestive purposes.

Choose your own fruits, priced by weighing. Most recommended are the Lotus Mist, Young Peach, Green Mango, Sweet Mango, and Peach. The crunchy texture with licorice juice is a must. It can be considered a new way of opening fruits, or the fruits cut by others are always delicious.

The above is pretty much the food record of this Teochew trip. If you want to eat all the authentic Chaozhou snacks, you can completely avoid the main street of Pai Fang Street. The alleys where the locals gather have the most food.

It is recommended to focus on Xima Road, Vicky's Glutinous Rice Pork Intestine and Yongji Snacks, as well as the various stalls that pop up from time to time. The queues are less likely to be wrong. Eat as you go and save time and effort.

Another suggestion is that it's best to go with a few more people or stay for a few more days, otherwise you won't be able to eat at all.

Overall, Chaozhou is a place with a slower pace of life, suitable for aimless eating and drinking. 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 New Year's Day, it would be a good choice. After all, the winter in Guangdong is still quite comfortable.
