Many gourmets often use the saying that plum noodles are better than Guanghe to praise Wuchuan Meilu Street. Fry the noodles on the side. This is a very strange scenery: one person has a basket of baskets, a basket of rice noodles, a stove, and an iron pot with rotten edges and chipped edges. Every day, stalls are set up in the corners of the market and on the streets at the end of the market, and diners gather around the iron pot. , squatting or standing to taste it, with relish, and the fragrance is fragrant in the teeth and cheeks.

5. Sandworms: Sandworms usually hide in sand holes about 20 cm deep. To obtain live sandworms, you need to dig them. You must poke the sandworms with a stick and turn the whole body over from the inside out. Come over and use clean water to remove the sand in the body before eating it. It looks like a small milky white rubber tube, while the dry sandworms are golden yellow. The sandworm is refreshing but not tough, with a first-class taste, similar to the taste of jellyfish but with more changes. There are various recipes for sand worms, including boiling, steaming, sand worm soup, stewing sand worms with melon and vegetables, and stir-frying sand worms with melon and vegetables, etc. Whether sand worms are stewed, boiled, steamed alone, or stir-fried with melon, green onion, and garlic. , the meat tastes crisp and tender, the taste is fresh and sweet, crispy and delicious, and you will never get tired of eating it. Zhanjiang locals prefer to use sandworms to cook porridge.

6. Oysters: Zhanjiang’s oysters are also very famous. Relatively speaking, larger ones generally have less fishy smell. As for which oyster tastes better, it all depends on the taste of the diners. In terms of cooking methods, the most common method is charcoal grilling. In addition, there are also steaming, boiling and other methods. But charcoal grilling is the simplest and most popular. The oysters from Zhanjiang are outstanding in their freshness. They are not necessarily very big in size. When you bite into them, the meat is firm and elastic. They are fragrant and sweet and they are cheap. They only cost RMB1 yuan each at ordinary late-night snack stalls.

It is characterized by its simple preparation, freshness but not rottenness, and maintaining the original taste without adding ingredients. When Guangzhou people eat plain-cut chicken, most of them are served with seasonings made of ginger and green onions. It tastes relatively light and is easy to tolerate. However, since I can't eat without spicy food, I often add a little chili pepper to the dipping sauce. Although it is spicy, it still tastes good. You will feel the spiciness and sweetness. Friends who are not afraid of spicy food recommend giving it a try.

8. Konoye folder: Konoye folder is a small stuffed glutinous rice dumpling sandwiched between upper and lower leaves (it is said that pineapple leaves or banana leaves are usually used). There are two kinds of Konoha sandwich: fragrant and sweet. Both are made of glutinous rice flour as the skin. The fragrant one is filled with peanuts, loach, dried shrimps, salty radish, etc.; the sweet one is filled with white sugar, shredded coconut, sesame seeds, peanut kernels, etc. . Generally, white means sweet and yellow means salty. Most people find the sweet taste delicious, but I think the salty taste is more special!

9. Pineapple: I have been talking about dishes before, but now I am talking about fruits. Wood pineapple is also known as jackfruit, and its scientific name is: Artocarpusheterophyllus Lam. English name: Jackfruit. Pineapple is native to India and has been cultivated in China for more than 900 years.

Jackfruit is a tropical evergreen tree of the Moraceae family. The fruit matures in June to July. The fruit is huge and weighs up to 40 kilograms. It is called the king of fruits. The fruit is produced on the trunk of the tree. If you cut the fruit open, the fruits are separated by whiskers. Golden orange-sized pulp buns with a large core inside. When cooked, they taste like chestnuts. The whiskers are tasteless, but the pulp is extremely fragrant and sweet as honey. Previously, jackfruit and durian were considered to be the same fruit, but later I discovered that they were just similar in appearance. Durian tastes unpleasant, while jackfruit has a slightly refreshing aroma.
