牛仔大排档(永平路店)

I thought Cowboy Food Stall was a place to eat Chaoshan beef. After several twists and turns, I arrived at a small street, and then I went to the alleys to find a different world. Cowboy Food Stall is a chicken shop. The best quality chickens are only salted and seasoned with almost no water, and then they are served to the guests after all the chicken juice is squeezed out. The chicken meat is delicate, the chicken skin is smooth and sticky, and finally served with rice rolls to stick to the chicken juice. This is the so-called original taste.

Hakka cuisine is full of poultry: fat, salty, cooked, fragrant, and a bit full. Last night, I encountered excellent coconut stewed chicken and steamed chicken at the famous late-night snack place "Cowboy Food Stall" in Huizhou. There was nothing fancy, just good chicken, rich juice, and white coconut meat. I ate it all and still wanted more! The boss relied on these two flavors to conquer the world, and a brand new Infiniti was placed at the door.

Ten years ago, I often met up with a group of friends for a late-night snack after playing mahjong or hanging out at a bar. We'd always have a cowboy chicken, a plate of white rice noodles or shredded rice, and a vegetable, and that was it. If we wanted something a little more substantial, we'd add a coconut soup. Back then, the taste was fantastic, but now the quality of the chicken has slowly declined, and I seem to have lost my appetite for it.

The atmosphere is a food stall, neither good nor bad. They open at 5 p.m., and the prices have increased quite a bit. They've been open for over 20 years, and their coconut chicken stew has gone from 15 yuan to 40 yuan. Their signature dishes are the cowboy chicken, 110 yuan per head, which is light and fragrant without being greasy. They also have coconut milk chicken, 40 yuan per bowl, which is sweet and delicious. They also have vegetarian rice rolls and pickled clams.

Coconut chicken soup, cowboy chicken pot, and rice noodle rolls with choy sum. The menu is limited, but the few that are there are enough to make the place stand out. Coconut chicken: The owner usually peels coconuts at the door in the evenings. It seems the coconuts are shipped in from Hainan. The coconut chicken soup here is incredibly sweet and fresh, and they use only old coconuts. Pretty good.
