Food Can't Live Up to —— Talking about Eating and Drinking in Chaoshan

There is an interesting question in Zhihu: What makes you think that "even if it's just for eating, it's worth a special trip"?

Among the answers, the place with the highest number of votes, the most enthusiastic voice and the most mentioned times is Chaoshan area. Read this answer as true. Eating and eating, I can't sleep at night. I really want to finally find an opportunity to fly to this holy place with my husband to worship.

In fact, "Chaoshan" is a general term, and the Chaoshan area includes eastern Guangdong? Jieyang and Chaoshan. Jieyang builds Chaoshan Airport. During the holiday of four days and three nights, I chose to stay in Shantou for three days. Facts have proved that even if you just eat steamed bread, you can't eat enough for three days.

Day 1 day

The early flight of Hongqiao Airport, after two and a half hours' flight, arrived at Chaoshan Airport around 10 in the morning, 20 yuan/person? It took 1 hour to get to Shantou Overseas Chinese Building. Because there was no detailed "meal plan", after getting off the bus, we discussed where to have lunch first. Unexpectedly, when we opened the Baidu map, we found that the heaviest destination of this trip, Haiji Beef, was only 5 minutes away from the Overseas Chinese Building where we got off. What are you waiting for? Eat the best for the first meal!

Starting from the Overseas Chinese Building, you can find this famous Bahe Lihai Head Office in Shantou through a residential area.

Chaoshan beef hotpot really deserves its reputation. It details dozens of kinds of beef you can't imagine, such as beef tongue, louver and tripe, but what are the names of hanging dragon companion, five toes and three toes, which are completely unheard of in other areas. Beef balls and beef tendon balls are the ultimate in refreshing teeth. Their hot pot soup base is very simple. The real clear soup is watery, with only a few radishes and a few drops of oil in it. Their idea is that only broth hotpot can make people taste the best beef. Skillful knife worker's newly cut beef, beef balls hammered by macho man in the shop, boiled in clear soup and dipped in sand tea sauce. After eating five plates of meat, the two of us added two plates to pay the bill-only 230 yuan to eat so much.

Hotel reservation in jinping district City Hall Square. Because jinping district is the best place in Shantou! Probably because the first meal was a little heavy, the check in Hotel had a rest in the afternoon and was a little flatulent, but as night fell, I stubbornly went out to continue foraging.

Walk along Baidu map, on the path next to the municipal government, around Shantou No.12 Middle School, there are many delicious foods. There are sour plum juice fruits mentioned in other people's travel notes on the roadside, which are washed and cut fruits of various colors, selected by customers, priced by bosses, and finally mixed with sour plum juice. Colorful fruits look appetizing, easy to eat and taste good.

A bowl of beef offal noodles and a bowl of beef offal kway teow. 15 yuan/Bowl feels so cheap! So much meat! I didn't know until the next day that it was actually very expensive. Other families usually only need 10 yuan, which is another story.

I also found a smoothie shop in the alley behind No.12 Middle School. Strawberries were on the market, and I ate a real strawberry iced with 9 yuan full of pulp.

the next day

Plaza old brand tofu pudding sweet soup

Go out to eat in the morning, and plan to follow the famous shops one by one. Look for the old tofu sweet soup in this square first. Tofu pudding 3 yuan 1 bowl. It is said that bean curd made of brine is not made of gypsum from other places. The taste is completely different. It's very thick and fragrant. The powdered sugar and peanut powder sprinkled on it are delicious! ! ! It smells good. Ah ah ah! !

After eating tofu pudding, I saw a shop next to it, which was very old. All the local residents are eating it. I thought it would be good. I ordered a bowl of beef offal kway, and found that the meat was not less than the previous night, as long as 10 yuan.

While eating kway teow in the open air on the roadside, a huge costume parade passed by noisily, as if it were a traditional local holy driving tour.

Plaza authentic yuan zhi yi mi branch

Walking out of 200 meters, I came to another famous shop: the authentic original juice barley shop in the square. The local people lined up in front of this store, and the buyers and sellers communicated in Chaoshan dialect that I didn't understand at all. My Mandarin is very weak, and nobody has paid attention to me for several times. Finally, I had to shout "Aunt! Do you know Mandarin or not? ! Give me a bowl of barley soup! ! ! "Before I brought a bowl of soup, I forced it 10 to her. (I came to eat it again later and found that it was different twice, only to understand that I took someone else's soup by mistake this time. This is another story. )

This is the breakfast of Shantou people ... I feel rich. A big bowl of coix seed soup can't bury all kinds of fresh and hot lean meat, beef offal and oysters, and sprinkle with white pepper, which makes people sweat and feel satisfied.

Follow the map and continue to the direction of the small park, passing a dilapidated roadside rice rolls stall. My husband couldn't stop me, so I ate another plate of beef, rice rolls, 8 yuan.

Go ahead, pass Si Shun herbal tea, and go in and eat two bowls of turtle ling cream. It's interesting to find the herbal tea shop here. It has become a place for neighbors to solve small problems such as headaches and fever. The old aunt who sells herbal tea also has a variety of simple Chinese patent medicines, and the curative effect is unknown.

Finally, I came to the small park in Shantou, which is the old downtown center of Shantou. The dilapidated arcade is in danger, but there are only simple fences and "Don't go near" notices below, which form an interesting contrast with the citizens who are still living, walking and doing business at the foot of the dangerous building and become a tourist attraction.

Ma Lao scored the total ball.

It seems a little far. Let's go back to the topic of eating. There is a famous glutinous rice dumpling in Malao Palace opposite Malao Palace, each 10 yuan. The content is varied and eye-opening. Small dumplings are wrapped with ginkgo, scallops, salted egg yolk, shrimps, candied dates, pork belly, chestnuts and mung beans. Peel it on a plate for you, and then, er ... pour a spoonful of sugar water on it ... it's delicious, but it's a bit strange to see such a mixture of salt and sweet.

Piaoxiang food store

Turning a corner, I went to a famous Xiangxiang snack bar and ordered a cake platter, oyster sauce and winter melon soup. 75 yuan to pay the bill is already a very expensive food in this day.

There is a cat in the shop that looks like the melon skin of an online celebrity. I shared half oyster sauce with it, and it has no resistance to meow. By the way, Shantou people love cats very much. Almost every store has cats, either tied to the door or kept in the store.

Fuhecheng beef balls

Another famous beef hotpot restaurant, Fuhecheng Beef Ball, can definitely be gorgeous in any city, but it is obviously not as good as Shantou's Hai Ji. The online "Wen Hai Ji" has covered all the best beef in Chaoshan area. Other families can't beat him, so it may be true. Other stores are so miserable ~

After eating meat, I ate a box of plum juice to relieve boredom. On the way back to the hotel, there were many roadside stalls. I want to eat anything, but I really have no appetite.

the third day

I planned to have morning tea, but I got up late. 10 went out and went to have afternoon tea. There are big banyan trees beside the city square, as well as sparkling waves and large cargo ships on the sea.

South Kimbe Long Jun

On this day, I finally finished eating jinping district and took an hour's bus ride to another district for tea. This shop is called Nanbei Jinjunlong, and it is said to be the rookie field of Shantou Tea Restaurant. I have to queue up on weekends, so I specially arranged to eat on Monday. Compared with what I ate two days ago, I was a little disappointed. After all, refreshments are not good in Chaoshan area, and the standard can only be said to be quite satisfactory, which is completely incomparable with Guangzhou. I ordered lazy egg buns, beef sausage, purple rice sausage, shrimp dumpling king, purple potato cheese tart, Osmanthus Jelly and plum tree. Steamed vegetables are only warm when they are served, but they will be cold after a while, and the experience is not good. It's good to comb a plum, but it tastes terrible. I dug it twice and abandoned it. The lazy egg bag is very cute, so I took a small video with WeChat, poked a hole in his ass and pressed chopsticks, and he began to shit. It's too dirty. I don't know how to make the little video here, so you can watch it yourself.

The price is not high. This meal is 120.
