A food tour in Shantou that you can’t finish eating
My family, this time when I came to Shantou, I really experienced what it means to "have a 1-ton stomach and can't finish all the food"! As soon as we got off the car, we plunged into the ocean of delicious food.
Let me first introduce to you the treasure hotel where I stayed this time - Shantou Chaohui Boutique Hotel. Its geographical location is simply amazing. It is very close to the super popular Longyan South Road Food Street, and you can start a food carnival by using shared bicycles. For a foodie like me, this is heaven!
The hotel has a wide variety of room types, so you can find a suitable room whether you are traveling alone, as a couple, or with family and friends. The room I live in feels particularly warm and comfortable as soon as I enter. The bed is just the right amount of hardness and softness, and lying on it feels like being wrapped in clouds. The room is decorated in an exquisite and stylish way, with meticulous attention to detail. Moreover, the facilities in the room are also very complete, with all kinds of smart devices available, which adds a lot to my stay experience.
After putting my luggage away, I headed straight to Longyan South Road Food Street. As soon as I reached the street corner, I was attracted by the delicious aroma. At the first stop, I rushed to a super popular rice noodle roll shop. The rice noodle roll skin is smooth and filled with tender eggs, delicious shrimps and green vegetables, and then drizzled with a special marinade. One bite will give you a full sense of happiness!
Then we walked forward and saw a small shop selling rice cakes with a wide variety of rice cakes. I tried a horseshoe crab cake, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The filling inside was super rich, with shrimp, mushrooms, and pork. Paired with a unique sauce, the flavor was so rich that it was amazing.
You can eat as you walk, and there are delicious raw marinated shrimps and crabs. The shrimps and crabs become crystal clear and melt in your mouth after being soaked in the sauce. Although it is a bit challenging, it is really addictive! There are also oyster omelets, which are sizzling with oil, and the egg liquid and oysters are perfectly blended. The skin is crispy and the filling is tender. Take a bite and the delicious taste spreads in your mouth.
This street really has a food store every five steps and a snack stand every ten steps. There are beef balls, duck meatballs, rice noodle soup... I can't eat enough. My 1 ton stomach is about to burst, but I still can't bear to stop.
When I was tired from shopping, I went back to the hotel to rest. The hotel was quiet and comfortable, allowing me to recover my strength and prepare for the next round of food exploration. This time in Shantou, I had the comfortable living experience of Chaohui Boutique Hotel and endless delicious food. I was really satisfied! I strongly recommend everyone to come to Shantou, to experience this city of food, and to stay in this great hotel!
