The Bauhinia Club specializes in Teochew cuisine, with a small amount of Western food, and the presentation and decoration of the dishes are carefully considered, which is rare for the Teochew cuisine that has always been widely presented. Teochew people call puffer fish "good fish", which is also the signature of the Bauhinia Society, and the soup is served on a plate of soup from person to person. The way it deals with the puffer fish is no different from the classic Chaoshan folk technique, which is boiled with celery, ginger, chili pepper and sour plum, the soup is rich, the umami is very strong, and the meat is also very tender and delicious. The puffer fish is served with a small bowl of rice, and the soup is also very delicious. However, the tide-style method of cooking good fish, very particular about the cooking heat, the proper heat will make the meat tender and fresh, the heat is slightly older, the taste is the same as chewing wax, and the Bauhinia Club also obviously has the problem of improper control of the heat, and the stability of the production is not high.
The soup dishes of the Bauhinia Club are more outstanding. The teapot abalone and sea cucumber soup is quite popular among diners, the abalone and sea cucumber are mixed into the same cup, the abalone is tender, the sea cucumber is glutinous, and the soup is very delicious. Green olives stewed fresh abalone, the soup is clear and sweet, the material is abundant, and the green olives are not sour or astringent. In terms of other ginseng and abalone winged belly main dishes, the performance of the Bauhinia Club is not bright, although there is no shortage of high-end ingredients such as dried abalone and sea cucumber, but the final effect can only be described as decent.
The braised goose of the Bauhinia Club is quite distinctive, the black brine is heavy, slightly smoked, the appearance is dark and bright, the entrance texture is relatively coarse and hard, and the taste is dry, but the gum and goose meat at the bottom of the skin are glued and chewy, salty and fragrant. Other traditional Teochew dishes, such as spinach in soup, walnut kernel celery lily, stir-fried red-footed kale, stir-fried pipa shrimp with leek flowers, etc., all of which are fresh and palatable, and the original flavor of Chaozhou cuisine is vividly interpreted.
