Streets and alleys of Shantou, these delicacies not to be missed

Chaozhou is renowned for its wide variety of authentic Chaozhou cuisine, which can be found throughout the country. Let's step into the streets of Shantou, a seemingly ordinary city, and discover the culinary secrets it holds!

Guangchang Laopai Douhua Sweet Soup

The business is booming, often with long queues. The whole bowl of douhua has no excess water; after being scooped out from the large pot, it is directly sprinkled with sugar powder, and a bowl of douhua is completed. Additionally, there are sago soup and tortoise jelly. The sago soup is average, while the tortoise jelly, like the douhua, has a high viscosity, is not bitter, and is sprinkled with granulated sugar on top, making it refreshing and healthy.

Lao Ma Gong Zong Qiu

This shop was established in 1920 and has been around for nearly a century. Almost every traveler to Shantou does not miss this place. Upon entering the shop, you will see a variety of awards hanging on the walls, representing the hard-earned glory of generations. The plaque in the shop, 'Shi Ding Zheng Zhi,' signifies its essence.

Tang Cong Pancake Street Stall

As we were walking, we unexpectedly came across the street stall 'Tang Cong Pancake' that we couldn't find earlier at People's Square using the navigation. This is also a specialty snack that was featured on 'A Bite of China'. A piece of wind-blown pancake is rolled with white long sugar strips made from pulled syrup, accompanied by sesame and cilantro. One bite is crispy and sweet. Friends who come to visit must not miss it.

Yaqiang Fruit Juice Ice

This fruit juice ice shop is very popular locally. Its business hours are quite unique, from 2:30 PM to 2:00 AM, and there are often long queues. The fruits used for juicing are stored in the refrigerator at the back, and they look very fresh!

Aixi Dry Noodles (Xiaogongyuan Main Store)

Aixi Dry Noodles is hidden in the arcades of Xiaogongyuan. Most people who come here usually order the 'golden duo' of dry noodles and pork offal soup. It's very popular, so make sure to go at the right time!

Upon entering, you can see various types of rice cakes displayed on both sides, with flavors such as carrot, taro, and taro paste.
