Food everywhere is nothing more than a bowl of human fireworks. Without fireworks, life is a lonely journey.
I want my journey to be warm and happy. Food and beautiful scenery can bring happiness and nourish people's hearts. Therefore, the trip to Yangjiang became full of charm and interesting.
When I go from urban areas to villages and towns, in addition to tasting delicious food, I can also enjoy Yangjiang’s agriculture, forestry, and fishing scenery, and experience Yangjiang’s local customs and customs, whether it is unique specialties or Yangjiang’s signature seafood , every original delicacy impresses the taste buds and makes people feel the happiness and abundance of life.
The first thing I want to talk about is, of course, Chengcun oysters, a specialty of Yangxi County, Guangdong Province, and a national geographical indication product of China. Chengcun oysters are characterized by their large size, sweet taste and smooth color. There are obvious differences from oysters produced in other places.
Oyster farming in Chengcun has a history of more than 500 years. The water here is moderately salty, there are many harbors, and there are rich microorganisms underneath, which is very suitable for the growth of oysters. Therefore, the meat is thick and delicious.
Hailing Island in Yangjiang enjoys the reputation of "Beidaihe in the South" and "Hawaii in the East". In addition to the beautiful scenery, the most indispensable thing here is eating seafood!
Only clear sea water can breed fresh and sweet seafood.
The soft fish bones, delicate and soft meat, and sweet and delicious taste are today’s protagonists—the top-notch South China Sea golden pomfret from Yangjiang, Guangdong!
Every household makes it by themselves. It is made by lightly drying it with edible salt. It is the fish above my head.
Seafood is the business card of local cuisine, while other traditional delicacies are carefully prepared and healthy, and have inherited the local food culture.
The most recommended one is of course the steamed pork ribs with spring amomum, which has a unique flavor and has the taste and efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine spring amomum. It is delicious and nourishes the stomach.
What is amomum villosum? Amomum villosum, as a local specialty product of Yangchun City, has a long history and is one of the famous "Four Southern Medicines". "Compendium of Materia Medica" also contains: "Spring amomum villosum, a plant in the Zingiberaceae family, is warm in nature and pungent in taste. It has the function of promoting qi and seasoning, soothing the stomach and rejuvenating the spleen. It is mainly used to treat chest and epigastric distension, stomach fruit and food stagnation, choking, diaphragm and vomiting." Therefore. , this traditional delicacy nourishes people's stomach and intestines over time.
I found that on every dining table in Yangjiang Yangchun, there was a chicken, either white-chopped chicken or clay-baked chicken. It was extremely fresh and tender, and the original flavor of the chicken was fully revealed.

Ginger Pork Belly Chicken is the first choice in winter, warming the stomach and heart.

It is nutritious and an ideal raw material for seasoning and food processing.
Gangmei Cured Duck originated from the Li Mengxin family in Gangbei Youpu Village, Gangmei Town, Yangchun City. It has a history of nearly a hundred years. It is made of high-quality sheldalard ducks using traditional handicrafts. It has bright color, mellow and delicious flavor. Characteristics and quality: waxed duck in autumn and winter is the best.
Gangmei Cured Duck is famous in western Guangdong for its unique flavor and is a famous local product in Guangdong. The birthplace of Gangmei wax duck is Youpu Village. There are more than 60 households in Youpu Village. From Mid-Autumn Festival to Spring every year, it is the golden period for villagers to make preserved ducks. At that time, golden-colored wax ducks were hung in front of and behind houses, by ponds, on field ridges, and even on the roofs of buildings in the village. The aroma of wax ducks filled the whole village.
Lingxiao Pig's Knuckle is carefully made by the chef and bleached with Lingxiao's unique mountain spring water. It is crispy, smooth, and non-greasy, just like the famous "Baiyun Pig's Knuckle". It tastes like the sweetness of mountain spring. This is the first time I have tasted pork trotters with such a taste.
Braised pork belly and paprika beans taste fat but not greasy, soft and tasty.
Paparazzi beans, also called tiger beans and gulao beans, are an inconspicuous wild vegetable in the countryside of the Hakka area. Because the fruit looks like a dog's paw, it is called "Papazzi Bean".
It is said that the longer the paprika beans are left in the sun for a long time, the greater the effect of nourishing the kidneys and removing dampness will be. Eat paprika beans to nourish the kidneys and waist. If you use dried bean curd to cook the dragon bone, the soup will be clear and not greasy, and there will be no oil stars. This is probably because paparazzi beans are very thin and oily, so paprazzi beans also have the effect of lowering fat and losing weight, and are a natural food for weight loss.
I originally thought that the taro in Lipu was the most delicious, but I didn’t expect that the taro in Yangjiang was no less delicious, delicate and soft. But southerners are used to eating sweet taro, and the way it is paired with garlic and green onion is also strange.
Winter melon and pork ribs soup, although this dish can be found everywhere, but fortunately the local ingredients are fresh and natural, and the cooking method is also very thoughtful.

Guangdong’s stir-fried vermicelli has always been a classic.
Speaking of this rice, it is also famous. Goose rice. The character "丸" is pronounced in the third tone (na), which means mother. 丸 is the Yangjiang dialect.

Goose meat has a sweet and mild taste, has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing qi, warming the stomach and promoting body fluids, and is a good raw material for dietary therapy.
I am not a local, but during my trip, I experienced the joy and satisfaction that food brings to everyone. Although the cuisines are divided into different cuisines, each with its own merits in east, west, north and south, the feeling of having them is warm and surprising. Maybe I haven’t explored the complete Yangjiang menu yet, there are many other delicacies waiting for everyone to discover together.
