The first dishes that came up were a few side dishes, stir-fried clams and stir-fried eel slices. In fact, the quality was only mediocre. They were just enough to fill the appetite before eating the clay pot porridge. Both dishes were just mediocre.
Originally, there were very few seats in the restaurant, but they took over a closed restaurant next door, so they can go there. There happened to be large tables there, so it was pretty good. You can place an order here and have it delivered there, and there is a separate restroom.
We saw the recommendation in the travel guide about the clay pot porridge at Shikou Restaurant. It happened to be not far from our hotel, on Gongxin Road, so we went to try it. The ingredients used in their clay pots can be either cheap or luxurious, it's up to you. We chose scallop porridge and shrimp porridge, both of which were delicious and refreshing with the side dishes. The only thing is that their environment is not good enough, it feels dirty.
That day, my colleagues and I had a delicious Chaoshan casserole porridge for dinner, and then they came to this restaurant for supper. After they came back, they recommended Shikou to us, saying that it was even better than the dinner! It happened that we were near Shikou on the last day of our trip to Shantou, so we were destined to go there~~~ When dining in Shantou, you can't have too high expectations for the environment of the restaurant. The environment of the restaurants here is very average, and it will feel a bit uncomfortable on a hot day. Fortunately, the air conditioning of Shikou is quite strong.
#Chaoshan Tour# An old brand restaurant that you must visit during a three-day and two-night pilgrimage. It is highly recommended. The freshly cooked hot porridge is full of flavor and very warm to the stomach. #Crab and Shrimp Porridge# #Special Wild Eel Porridge# #Meat Crab Porridge# Several special signature porridges must be tried. The portion is large, enough for 2 to 4 people, so don't order too much.
A restaurant that has been on TV and was founded in 2000. It is so popular that you have to wait for a table, but fortunately the turnover rate is very high, so you won’t have to wait too long. It is definitely one of the major stops for Shantou food. Their environment is as low-key as its name, but their products are amazing, very, very fresh and sweet, and the price is affordable. It is definitely worth a try!
Shikou Restaurant is a restaurant that specializes in seafood porridge and also sells some Chaozhou stir-fried dishes. They are located at the intersection of Gongxin Road. The store is not big and does not look neat from the outside. The gas stove operating table is exposed outside, which does not look very beautiful or clean. There are a lot of advertisements posted at the door, such as CCTV and Meituan Dazhong's must-eat restaurant. There are quite a few customers in the store, many of whom are locals, not all tourists. We ordered two small bowls of porridge, one bowl of scallop porridge and one bowl of scallop squid porridge. The scallop squid porridge is more delicious and has a stronger seafood flavor. A small bowl of porridge is just enough for one person. After drinking it, everyone feels very comfortable. The porridge itself is good, but the environment is a bit worse.
