Meizhou Delicacies

Meizhou Xiao Chi (湄洲小吃), 20 November 2011

It is always nice to have a decent meal after my Great Wall of China "expitition". There is a Chinese saying: If you do not climb up the Great Wall of China, you are not a hero. So now I am a "Hero". However this hero glutton needs food after climbing the Great Wall of China. My host in Beijing recommends me 湄洲小吃, Meizhou Eatery. This is a restaurant cuisine serves Meizhou cuisine and there are a few dishes in this restaurants I like and specially recommended. The Meizhou Sausage is tasty and spicy.

Pig intestine Rice Noodles is awesome. It is actually a Sichuan cuisine, but it is awesomely tasty and spicy. I like the contrast of the texture between the intestine and rice noodles.


The Melons Soup is awesome. The main ingredients of this soups are winter melons and pumpkins and pork meatballs. This soup is delicious.



This version of Dongpo Meat is exciting. This pork belly is not only melt-in-mouth tender, moist and has a spicy flavour. This is absolutely tasty.



It is always perfect to end a meal with the desserts. First dessert is Icy Green Bean Soup. The sweetness of the soup is just nice for me and it is tasty. The next dessert I have is Crispy Yam. The outer layer of Crispy yam is crispy and the yam filling is creamy. I like both desserts.


It is even perfect to go for a short nap right after the sumptuous dinner and to meet my princess in my dreamland! :P
