🌆A really good chicken pot in Xinxi! The environment of this store is also very unique. In the courtyard transformed from an old Chaoshan house, there are 🈶️ halls, private rooms and rooftop seats. Suitable for family gatherings and friends gatherings! 🥘Ordered their seasonal Chaoshan yellow skin chicken pot! The sweet and sour fragrance of the yellow skin is integrated into the soup base! The chicken is fresh and tender free-range chicken. After cooking, the skin is smooth and the meat is tender. Every bite is full of the yellow skin soup, which is appetizing and greasy.
