YONGXINGSHENGHAO

The taste is good, the oysters are fresh and delicious

Before coming to Zhuhai, a local friend assured me, "If you haven't tried this oyster chicken hotpot in Xiawan, you've wasted your seafood trip!" At first, I didn't believe it—it's just hotpot, isn't it? But then I saw the line circling the restaurant on Changping Road, and smelled the fragrant aroma of fresh chicken soup. It suddenly dawned on me: I'm going to queue! When we arrived at 5:30 PM, the restaurant was already crowded with people waiting for their turn. Couples chatted over milk tea while waiting, while a family of three gathered around a small table, playing games. The wait staff told us that during peak weekends, the wait would take at least two hours. Luckily, we'd booked a number online in advance, so we only had to wait 40 minutes to get a window table. As soon as we sat down, the guy at the next table enthusiastically offered advice: "Order half a chicken for soup, and order the oysters by the plate. They're 2 yuan each, with unlimited refills. Don't hesitate!" I followed their advice and ate my fill! Soon, half a Orchard Chicken arrived. Its skin shone a faint golden yellow, a clear sign of free-range chicken. The waiter deftly placed the chicken in a pot of clear water, adding only a few slices of ginger and chopped scallions for flavor. "Good chicken doesn't need much seasoning," he said. "Braise it for 15 minutes and you'll have the broth." While waiting, I stared at the menu, salivating. Besides the must-try oysters, the one-meter-long beef roll, fresh abalone, and golden baked oysters were all listed under "Signature Must-Tries." I wanted to try every one of them. When the 15 minutes were up, I scooped up a spoonful of chicken broth and was instantly captivated by its freshness! There was no heavy seasoning, only the natural sweetness of the chicken itself, which warmed my stomach. At this point, the waiter added the oysters, specifically reminding me to "braise them for only 10 seconds. If you overcook them, they won't be juicy." I picked up an oyster, larger than my thumb, its plump flesh smothered in a translucent broth. Dipping it into the restaurant's special shacha sauce, the first bite was a burst of fresh juices. The tender oysters, the fragrant shacha, and the savory chicken broth instantly awakened my taste buds! My friend and I initially reservedly ordered two plates at once, but then realized the "unlimited refills" were truly unlimited, so we simply asked the waiter, "Three more plates!" The freshly cooked oysters were piping hot, and the instant I bit into them, they were filled with the freshness of the ocean, with no fishy smell at all. At just 2 yuan each, it felt like I had finally achieved oyster freedom in Zhuhai. The man at the next table was even more dramatic, eating from his plate and telling us, "I come here every week, sometimes driving all the way from Hengqin just for these oysters!" After enough chicken soup and oysters, it was time for the main event: the meter-long beef roll! When the waiter brought it, several tables around looked up. The beef rolls, laid out on a long wooden board, had a perfectly even red and white texture, creating a visually stunning sight. Grab a chopstick and dip into the pot. Once cooked until slightly curled, you're ready to eat. Tender and not tough, they're imbued with the savory flavor of the chicken broth, and a subtle milky aroma is palpable as you chew. They're a completely different flavor from the shacha sauce and chili sauce. We nearly finished the entire portion. If you like baked dishes, the golden baked oysters are a must! The freshly baked oysters are topped with cheese and breadcrumbs. A bite while still hot is a perfect way to savor the bursting cheese. The savory flavor is tinged with a hint of sweetness, and compared to steamed oysters, they have a rich, charred aroma. You can even eat two and still not feel tired. Don't miss the fresh abalone either. They aren't particularly large, but they're incredibly chewy. Cooked in chicken broth, they soak up the juices and have a wonderfully chewy texture. My friend said it's "better than the fresh abalone you buy at the seafood market." By the time we were halfway through our meal, the place was packed. The waiters were incredibly busy, but incredibly friendly, and were prompt with refills of soup and oysters. I noticed many of the customers were regulars, greeting the waiters with familiarity. Some even brought their own drinks, saying, "I know the Coke here is always ice cold, but today I'd like some sparkling wine with my oysters." This lively and intimate atmosphere was even more relaxing than simply enjoying the food—it felt like a meal at a friend's house, free from formalities and just letting loose. Before leaving, I checked the time. It had taken a full two hours from the time I sat down to the end of my meal, and I was so full I could barely walk. When I paid, I realized it was only a little over 80 yuan per person, which instantly felt like a steal! There were still people waiting at the door. A young woman remarked to her companion, "If I'd known, I'd come yesterday. Why are we waiting so long again today?" I couldn't help but tell her, "It's worth the wait. Remember to order the chicken soup and oysters first." Before arriving in Zhuhai, I'd actually made numerous foodie recommendations, from seafood stalls to internet-famous restaurants. But I was surprised by the oyster chicken hotpot hidden away on the street in Xiawan. It doesn't have fancy decor or elaborate marketing; instead, it relies on fresh ingredients and affordable prices to ensure everyone is completely satisfied and satisfied. If you're planning a trip to Zhuhai, don't just focus on Lovers' Road and Chimelong. Spend an evening in Xiawan and head early to "Ranhou · Oyster Chicken Hotpot." Order half a fruit chicken, a few plates of 2-yuan oysters, and a serving of one-meter-long beef. Let the broth simmer and the simmering broth linger, letting you savor the authentic Zhuhai atmosphere. Trust me, this delicious chicken broth and juicy oysters will become an unforgettable Zhuhai memory. #ZhuhaiTravel #HotpotYouWantToQueueFor #ZhuhaiSpecialties #Must-SeeZhuhai #ExploreZhuhaiStores
