Gui Yuan Bai Zhou

Cantonese people eat morning tea, Chaoshan people drink porridge. How can you not drink white porridge when you come to Shantou? I have already made a plan. Guiyuan White Porridge is the most down-to-earth shop. Because I went there with my parents, they are too old to be taken to eat supper, so we went there at 4:30 in the afternoon. They had just started business, and there were only two tables including us. We ordered raw pickled three-eyed crabs, blood clams, mantis shrimps, braised goose kidneys and goose intestines, and each person had a bowl of white porridge, which was delicious. Don't be afraid of you laughing at us, we also brought a lot of anti-diarrhea medicine with us, just because we were afraid of diarrhea after eating raw pickled food. Fortunately, we didn't use it. Please feel free to eat it. The price is also affordable. The average price for three people is 100👍🏻.

Night porridge, as the name suggests, is white porridge. "Da Leng" comes from the Chaoshan dialect, also known as Chaozhou Da Leng, which refers to the popular cold dishes and cooked food sold in Chaozhou food stalls. Most of these foods are Chaozhou-style local dishes, usually composed of the following categories: one is brine, two is fish rice, three is pickled products, and four is cooked food. Every night, Chaoshan porridge shops will be crowded with diners looking for food. Night porridge shops generally do not have menus. All the ingredients are placed on the table. You can choose whatever you want to eat. Hundreds of ingredients, super luxurious lineups from land, sea and air, are dazzling and overwhelming.

The white porridge in Chaoshan is different from that in other regions. It is something between porridge and rice. The grains are distinct and cooked until the rice just bursts and emits fragrance. To be honest, it is not very good to eat alone, but with other side dishes such as salty miscellaneous, it becomes a perfect match. White porridge really lives up to its name.

This is also a small shop with high online reviews. Many locals come here to eat. It should be more authentic. However, the environment is also relatively poor, so be prepared! The total cost is ￥155. The tripe is delicious, but the portion is not large, so it feels a bit expensive. The pickled shrimp is also delicious, as long as you are not afraid of raw. The taste of the pig skin is okay, the meat rolls are all powdery, not recommended, and the green vegetables are average. In short, the quantity is too small. White porridge is free Remind everyone, you must ask how much it costs before confirming, it is usually calculated by portion, and you can also ask how much is in a portion. Cooked ones are generally one dish per portion, and some seafood needs to be calculated separately, which may be only a few taels per portion. Seafood is particularly expensive, especially fish.

The store is not big and the environment is simple. The owner is warm and hospitable. He introduces various special dishes. There are many cold dishes and snacks. The dishes are served quickly. The raw oysters, raw pickled shrimps, and white porridge made with Thai rice are delicious, bowl after bowl.

Very local food, a good choice for late night snack. Although the word "white porridge" is mentioned in the name, the white porridge itself is just a supplement, and the dishes that go with the porridge are the focus. The raw and marinated seafood is good, and the marinade is also great. However, the dishes that go with the porridge have a strong taste, and of course the white porridge is indispensable.
