Banana能量The environment is very good, clean and tidy, and the service attitude is also very good. I especially recommend their taro cake and Chaozhou-style medicinal chicken pot, as well as the signature Chaoshan raw pickled shrimp, which taste very good and are worth a try.

🌆A really good chicken pot in Xinxi! The environment of this store is also very unique. In the courtyard transformed from an old Chaoshan house, there are 🈶️ halls, private rooms and rooftop seats. Suitable for family gatherings and friends gatherings! 🥘Ordered their seasonal Chaoshan yellow skin chicken pot! The sweet and sour fragrance of the yellow skin is integrated into the soup base! The chicken is fresh and tender free-range chicken. After cooking, the skin is smooth and the meat is tender. Every bite is full of the yellow skin soup, which is appetizing and greasy. Even I, who usually don’t like to drink soup, can’t help but drink a few more bowls😭 🦪Chaoshan pickled blood clams! Cleanly handled, salty and fragrant! This dish of Jinyu Mantang is beautiful, delicious and delicious. Paired with cold jellyfish! Crispy and delicious, very appetizing. The corn🌽 is sweet and crispy! The ice jelly is greasy!
