Do you know? Only seven cities and regions in the world have been awarded the title of World Capital of Gastronomy by unesco by the United Nations, and three places in China have been selected.
The first selection in Asia is Chengdu, the birthplace of our Sichuan cuisine, and Macao, where Portuguese cuisine and Chinese cuisine are combined, all say that "food is in Guangzhou, cooking out of Fengcheng", Shunde as a region can be selected, enough to show the strength of its Cantonese cuisine!
This issue of "Divine Eagle Brigade" uses the taste buds of foodies to take you to explore the king of Cantonese cuisine: Shunde cuisine.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > shunde private dish that can not be eaten</h1>
Can be pronounced in Cantonese liu (a sound) leng (a sound), in cantonese dialect is picky, alternative meaning.
Shunde, a famous chef for generations, is bold enough to take such a name, presumably with great confidence in its own production.
This hotel is transformed from a private house, the small courtyard is stacked on top of the courtyard, a look is their own self-repair, without any design, into the hall, noon time crowded.
The glass water tank on the right hand side of the hall contains dozens of fresh seafood, comparable to a seafood market. Typical food stall style, the menu directly hung a whole wall, to pick the eye of the dish, what can bake grass worms, white seared sand worms, fried baked fish lips and so on...
Let's start with a bowl of signature Ginkgo pepper pork belly soup, and the traditional heavy pepper pork belly soup takes a completely different route.
Ginkgo biloba, pork belly, barrel bones, carrots, stewed in a small coal stove large casserole until soft, milky white soup, with thick pepper, super warm stomach, pork belly are all scooped onto the plate as a dish to eat.
Lemongrass baked shrimp, shrimp meat full, fried after the crispy outside and tender inside, plus the special smell of lemongrass, be sure to eat while hot!
The taste of stir-fried squid is more in line with the taste of Sichuan people, and it sells the fastest at our table.
Hakka tofu is also a dish that I think is more delicious, fried until golden brown on the one hand, tender tofu on the other, two different tastes in one bite.
Other dishes are also good, such as the signature roast goose, garlic vermicelli steamed scallops, etc., but it may be the reason for the long cooling! There is no particularly amazing taste, and it is highly recommended that you eat it to order!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="57" > Daliang Huagai Street - the most famous eight food shops</h1>
Each city has one or two old streets that have witnessed its historical changes, and Daliang Huagai Road Pedestrian Street is the symbol of Shunde.
With its shops here, it's not hard to imagine the bustling scene of its heyday, and many of these shops have a long history, and they are all related to food.
【Minxin Old Shop】
Friends who have eaten Nanxin desserts in Guangzhou, must not miss this Minxin dairy shop, because it is the origin of "double skin milk"!
Founder Dong Xiaohua once in the suburbs of Daliang to raise cattle and milk as the main business, in the era when there was no refrigerator, because of the fear that the milk would not sell out will deteriorate, he tried to stew the remaining milk to preserve freshness, and accidentally he found that the surface of the cooked milk would produce milk skin after cooling, sweet and smooth, so he began to process and improve, and "double skin milk" officially came out.
Don't underestimate this small bowl of double-skinned milk, in 2013, the "double-skin milk making technology" became the fourth batch of district-level intangible cultural heritage projects, and Dong Zhaoxiang, the second generation of Minxin, became the representative inheritor of district-level intangible cultural heritage projects. So in Guangzhou, which is full of sugar water shops, this is definitely an ancestral old brand!
Recommended: Coconut milk double skin milk, original cup coconut stew milk, ginger bump milk, etc.
If you come here on the weekend, you will definitely have to wait in line, so it is recommended to pack and take it away.
【Renxin Old Shop】
The Renxin old shop next door to Minxin, in fact, is also the dong family's industry, compared to Minxin, personally feel that Renxin's dairy products are sweeter, like sweet milk heavy friends, recommend Renxin, you can also eat two in a row, compare it!
The sugar water shops here are all relatively low wooden tables and chairs, and the small shops are crowded with foodies.
Listen to friends in Guangzhou, the reason why Shunde has so many sugar water shops, and the ecological environment of the region has a lot to do with it, there are many hills near Daliang, water and grass are luxuriant, and the buffalo here produces milk with high quality, less water, large oil, and strong milk flavor; so Daliang buffalo milk is extremely popular, and the buffalo breeding industry has been very developed.
However, the old shop now also has a great improvement, the variety of sugar water has increased, double skin milk, not only has a hot and cold way to eat, but also with red (green) beans, lotus seeds, eggs and fruits, etc., a variety of ice cream, desserts and other hundred kinds, quite innovative.
Double skin milk, the upper layer of thick skin, light milk aroma, milk taste is very fresh, the lower milk is smooth, with sweet peach gum and mango, the taste is very special, a small bowl down is super satisfied!
【Fine sister spiced beef offal】
After eating the two desserts, they tasted a little greasy, changed their taste, and came to a beef offal shop that was not large but had a long queue all the time.
This small shop was founded in 1981, but it was run by Xiaomei! For decades, the little sister became a fine aunt, and now she still insists on waving scissors and cutting boxes of beef offal in front of the ox cart in front of the store.
So many people queuing up, the taste can be imagined, the price is still very affordable, small portion 30, medium 40, large portion 50; bean bubble + radish base, with tripe and beef intestines, beef offal soft with toughness, repeated in the aged brine soup, plus special sweet and spicy sauce, let people eat the mouth to stay fragrant.
【Shunde Fish Cake】
At the other end of the old street, this Shunde fish cake shop does not have a long queue, but the taste is really worth a try!
Fish cake is a traditional Chinese dish, with Wenzhou fish cake in Zhejiang, Ganzhou fish cake in Jiangxi and Shunde fish cake in Guangdong being the most famous. Shunde's fish cakes are made of fresh mud carp, which is characterized by tender meat, which is very suitable for fish cakes.
A common practice is to chop and beat the mud carp into a sticky consistency, add the ingredients, squeeze into a ball, press it into a cake shape, fry it over low heat until golden brown, and then eat it.
A small fish cake, full of elasticity to eat, be sure to eat it while it is hot! Only if it is hot, it has no fishy taste, and you can eat the unique texture of fish!
【Minjun Herbal Tea Shop】
The three favorite treasures of Cantonese people are soup, sugar water and herbal tea!
Every time you travel to Guangzhou, it is difficult to adapt to the humid and hot weather in Guangzhou, and you may have symptoms such as fire or eczema in the first few days. At this time, generally Guangzhou friends will kindly instruct me to find a roadside herbal tea shop and prescribe a bowl of hot herbal tea.
Counting from the 60s to the 80s of the last century, Shunde people have a popular drink of herbal tea when they are uncomfortable!
On the old street of Daliang, there is a pharmacy called Minjun, the location is not remarkable, but it is crowded every day, and the purpose of everyone coming here is not to see a doctor, most of them are for this word-of-mouth herbal tea and turtle paste.
Minjun's herbal tea, that's all handmade! According to Grandma, Minjun's herbal teas are prepared with Traditional Chinese medicine before closing every day, sent to the boiling pharmacy, and boiled at dawn the next day.
This stainless steel kettle contains Minjun's herbal tea, which sells very ordinary and is very bitter in the mouth, but the effect is good and the price is not expensive.
Then a bowl of the signature gold turtle balm, with brown sugar water, well neutralizes the bitterness of the turtle balm; thinking that the effect is beauty and beauty, I can't help but eat two more bites!
【Lee Hee Kee Bungee Sand】
Bun sand is a traditional snack in Guangdong Province, Daliang bungee sand has a considerable reputation, together with blind public cake, Xiqiao pie and called Foshan's three major "souvenirs".
The name "Bungee" is really strange! Originally, it was made of flour mixed with ingredients such as lard, southern milk, and sugar, and resembled a butterfly, while Shunde was commonly known as a butterfly as "bun sand", so it got its name. In fact, it is crispy and crispy, with a salty and light taste and various flavors, similar to a cat's ear snack.
The founder Li Xi began to make bungee sand from the Qing Dynasty, and now it has become one of the must-buy souvenirs to travel to Shunde.
In addition to the above well-known old shops, there are also traditional pastries made of indica rice noodles, West Valley rice and other raw materials on Daliang Huagai Old Street [Deng Jie London Cake] and so on.
If you want to eat from the street to the end of the street, it must be the rhythm of the supporting wall! No wonder Shunde's food is so famous, that's because Shunde's snacks come from the folk! That is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Shunde people for thousands of years!
Moreover, most of Shunde's cuisine is original, not adulterated, not clever, all by the conscience and integrity of the shopkeeper, ancestral skills and craftsmanship, to win at low prices and good quality, and to win the public's reputation and praise.
A famous sentence was printed: "Where there are Shunde people in the kitchen, where there are Shunde people, there will be good taste!" ”
