Fu He Gou Wu Mi Guo Tian Tang Guo Pin

I had nothing to do when I was taking a walk in the evening, so I went with my friend to eat Shantou desserts. Before I came, he kept telling me how delicious these desserts were, but when I actually came, I found that there were quite a lot of people and the environment was quite ordinary, but I really couldn't agree that the word "delicious" was delicious. Maybe this is the reason for the difference between the north and the south.

When you come to Shantou, you must try the local delicacies. If you don't eat seafood, you must try the desserts. My friend recommended this store. Just from the name of the store, I feel that I can't pronounce it smoothly. But it tastes quite smooth. The price is not cheap. It may not be expensive for southern cities, but it is a bit expensive for people in northern cities. It tastes quite standard, without too many surprises, maybe it is not adapted to the local taste.

There are so many Chaoshan snacks. Just the "kueh" can definitely show off many "feasts". I personally think that the "Old Fuhegou Riceless Kueh Sweet Soup Kueh Shop" located in the old city is worth recommending. It specializes in kueh snacks. You can basically eat all kinds of kueh here, and the taste is good. It is quite authentic and traditional. Because of the tradition, most of the varieties are too "huge". Local senior foodies can taste them in batches and avoid "suffocation". Foreign travelers are recommended to eat in small groups, so that you can taste more by sharing. Address: No. 20-1, Fuping Road.

Taste: 3.5 Environment: 40 Service: 4.0 Value for money: 4.0 Location: It's a big store and easy to find by following the navigation. Environment: It looks clean. I didn't eat in because it was a bit late. I don't know what the environment is like inside the store. Service: The guy with glasses was very nice. We didn’t know what these kuehs were and he answered us patiently. Recommended dishes: Five-fruit soup contains lotus seeds, white fungus and lily, fried leeks without rice cakes are very fragrant, horseshoe crab cakes are salty and sweet and taste a bit like thousand-layer cakes, and the meat is fat, and the water cakes are a bit like steamed bread and are also salty and sweet.

After a hearty meal at Lao Ma Palace Zongqiu, we slowly strolled to our second stop of the day, the "Old-Fashioned Fu He Gou Riceless Cake Sweet Soup Cake Shop." From a distance, we could see a long line of people waiting outside. This shop specializes in sweet soups and various rice cakes. Since we were so full, we decided to just buy a bowl of five-fruit soup and a piece of horseshoe crab cake. There's plenty of seating near the shop, both on the first and second floors, so you can sit and enjoy your food. This is water cake, which I've had before in Chaozhou. It looks a bit like pot cake, but has a powdery texture. You need to top the water cake with preserved radish to eat it. I've had it before and it's just average. The horseshoe crab cake is more expensive than the Lao Ma Palace Zongqiu. A single horseshoe crab cake and five-fruit soup is already 17 yuan. The filling is slightly different from the Lao Ma Palace Zongqiu; instead of shrimp, it contains things like la chang (Chinese intestines) and mushrooms. This one is pan-fried, which makes it more fragrant and flavorful. The skin was overcooked and too tough to eat. The five-fruit soup is also their signature dish. It's essentially a sweet soup with five ingredients: snow fungus, lily bulbs, ginkgo nuts, coix seeds, and candied dates. I ordered a cold bowl, and it was refreshingly sweet, with a hint of osmanthus. After a while, I was tired of eating, and this bowl of soup instantly refreshed me.
