When mentioning Leizhou, many people’s first thoughts are “an ancient Lingnan county” and “a national historical and cultural city.” However, only “gourmets” who are truly good at tasting and have extensive travel experience know that this small city in the center of the Leizhou Peninsula at the extreme southern tip of mainland China is actually a “treasure house of gourmet specialties” that is greatly underestimated.
Every time when I go to Leizhou, my friends always carry a large number of large items with local characteristics and local flavor on their way back. The car is filled to the brim and there is no room left.
There is a saying in the local area: "If you don't bring something back with you when you come to Leizhou, it will be a wasted trip." What are the "dry things" in Leizhou that people will always remember?
The following list of local people’s private collections is recommended to be collected first.
Hermès among mangoes: Tan Dou Mango
If you are a mango lover then Tan Dou Mango It will definitely make you "go to the top".
This is no ordinary mango, it is an "outstanding one" that has obtained the National Geographical Indication certification. It is an "excellent choice" to obtain the national geographical indication certification. It belongs to the kind of "high-quality fruit" that has obtained national geographical indication certification.
Qindou Town has unique red soil and unique climate, which makes the mango aroma here particularly strong. Even through the peel, you can smell the sweet aroma.
As soon as you take a bite, the juice will explode in your mouth. The pulp is thick and slippery. The key is that there is very little fiber, so you won't have your teeth jammed when eating.
Local fruit farmers told me that Qin Dou mangoes also have a "hard core" advantage - they are durable in storage.
Ordinary mangoes will go bad after being left for two or three days, but they can last for several more days, making them extremely suitable as souvenirs and carried over long distances.
The "Light of Domestic Products" in the Pearl World: Quicksand Pearls
Many people don't know that the place called Leizhou Liusha has long been known as "China's No. 1 Pearl Village".
The history of raising quicksand pearls is quite long. The geographical climate here has unique conditions, the water quality is clean, the pearl particles produced are full, and their gloss is extremely strong. Their quality ranks among the best at home and abroad.
In the past, I always felt that to buy pearls, I had to go abroad. In fact, the pearls produced in Leizhou, whether they are used for making jewelry, for beauty, or as medicinal materials, are all real high-quality items.
I often hear older local people say, "A pearl in quicksand, even if you look at it at night, it will always shine." Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it can completely show that its luster is very good.
An unforgettable carbohydrate delight: leaf cakes and clam rice dumplings
Leizhou’s snacks focus on “authenticity”.
Let’s talk first Ye Da Cake , this is the most common snack in the streets of Leizhou.
Its skin is made of Glutinous and sticky rice Made from a mixture, it tastes soft and chewy but doesn’t stick to your teeth.
There are two types of fillings: sweet and salty. The sweet one is filled with peanuts, sesame seeds, shredded coconut, and winter melon sugar. The salty one has a different taste.
The most special thing is that it is steamed with two leaves placed up and down, so it has a refreshing fragrance.
Let’s move on to talk about clam rice dumplings. Clams are a peculiar herb unique to Leizhou. It has a unique taste and makes a perfect combination with glutinous rice.
After unwrapping the rice dumplings, the unique aroma of clams and meat penetrated directly into the nose. The glutinous rice was soft and glutinous and the flavor was permeable. The pork belly was fat but not too greasy. After tasting one, the idea of trying another one came to mind.
Roast pig and goat: hard currency for meat eaters
For friends who are passionate about sex, Leizhou can also satisfy you.
famous Yingli Roast Pig , from Yingli Town traditional dishes .
Its skin is baked as smooth and crisp as glass, while the meat is still tender and juicy.
Many people from other places drive hundreds of kilometers just to have a bite of the roasted pig, which is freshly baked from the oven and dipped in white sugar. The fragrant, moist and delicious experience is simply unparalleled.
also, Leizhou goat It is also a local specialty.
Leizhou has a special climate with high temperature and humidity. This breed of goat has strong adaptability to this climate. Its meat tastes very delicious and has a very slight odor.
Whether cooking braised mutton or making mutton stew in clear soup, the meat is extremely tender and smooth, which is especially suitable for tonic in winter.
Sweet ending: Leizhou green dates and papaya
After eating big fish and meat, I always want something refreshing.
Leizhou Qingzao Rated as " Eight Famous Fruits of Zhanjiang "One of them is really not a boast.
Its head is shaped like a small apple, and it makes a "clicking" sound when bitten into it. It has a crisp, sweet taste, is rich in juice, and contains a particularly high amount of vitamin C.
As for the Leizhou papaya, it was bred under the favorable conditions provided by God. Because the Leizhou Peninsula has ample sunshine and a certain temperature difference, the papaya here is much sweeter than other places. The flesh is thick, the skin is thin, and the flesh is bright red.
People living here are happy to eat it directly as a fruit, or make it into a stew. It tastes soft and sweet, and both the elderly and children love it.
Every time I come back from Leizhou, my trunk is always full of these specialties.
Whether you are giving it away or eating it yourself, it is an excellent choice.
If you have the opportunity to go to Leizhou, don't just focus on the historical sites. Only by bringing these "dry things" home can you truly be considered to have been to this ancient Lingnan county.
