After digging deep into , I realized that Chaoshan between mountains and seas is not simple.

For example, "The poison of Chaoshan" is raw, Many people go to Chaoshan for this dark dish without hesitation.
. Chaoshan raw pickled:
Chaoshan is near the seaside, and the ingredients are naturally mainly seafood, which is a gift from nature. But I didn’t expect that in that era when there was no refrigerator, a dish that preserved food for storage unexpectedly made this Chaoshan raw pickled dish that was popular in the food circle online.
The so-called raw pickling means that all kinds of fish, shrimp, shells and other seafood that have just been caught are pickled with ingredients made of seasonings such as soy sauce, sesame oil, coriander, minced garlic, chili, mustard . A few hours later, a "poison" that made many diners covet can be served.
Although it is very exciting when you eat, people with bad stomachs really need to take a detour. Otherwise, what others eat is raw pickled, and what you eat is laxatives.

Chaozhou Gongfu Tea is the most representative of Chinese tea art. Chaozhou Gongfu Tea was included in the " National Intangible Cultural Heritage List " in 2008.
It is a kind of tea art and a folk custom.
Kungfu Tea began in the Song Dynasty and was popular in the Qing Dynasty. It was an important part of the food culture of Chaozhou people. Later, as the Chaozhou people went to Southeast Asia together, they took root there, and it spread in Southeast Asia one after another.
everyone says that there is no tea without Chaoshan. It can be seen that drinking tea has become the standard for Chaoshan people's lives, but do you know? In addition to paying attention to the eight-stage 21-style tea-making method, Chaozhou tea also pays attention to tea mixing, spring crispy summer cake, autumn cake and winter sugar, and a dish of pig head rice dumplings . This way, even if you eat it, it will not be easy to get drunk.

In Chaoshan’s food check-in, Chaoshan hot pot is definitely a highlight.
Chaoshan hot pot restaurants have extremely demanding requirements for the main ingredients beef and beef. You must choose beef for three years.
In the eyes of gourmets, the ideal tender beef is a pot of beef slices that have just been slaughtered for less than 4 hours.
In traditional Chaoshan hot pot restaurants, slaughtered beefs will be disassembled into ten different parts when delivered to the beef restaurant, and the time will not exceed four hours, because the cows will start to discharge acid 10 hours after slaughtering, and the meat quality will change at this time, which is not fresh enough in the eyes of old diners.
The most effort is to cut beef slices. This not only has high requirements for the knife skills of the kitchen masters, but also requires a very good understanding of all parts of the cow. Every master of the cow has been practicing for a long time to break down the beef into ten different parts within 1 hour. They can cut out the beef with different thicknesses and textures based on their naked eyes and feel.
Using clear soup to smother beef is the highest courtesy of Chaoshan people to hot pot, which coincides with Lao Guang's pursuit of the original flavor of food.
clear soup and cut the beef, and the meat is tender and fresh. When shabu beef, pay attention to three-fold water. After boiling, turn off the heat, add the slices of meat to change color quickly, then pick it up and put it in the water for the second time, blanch the beef, and finally rinse it. The meat is just cooked, roll it and dip it. The perfect samcha sauce , which is really every bite of beef, can make you lose your tongue.
