Shenyun Chaozhou porridge - business reviews

Shenzhen is a young city born at the opportunity of reform and opening up, with a history of only 40 years, and there are naturally very few time-honored merchants. Shenyun Chaozhou porridge is a veritable time-honored brand in Shenzhen, founded in 1988, and has been going through 30 years. Shenyun Chaozhou porridge is mainly engaged in Chaoshan night porridge, Chaoshan brine, Chaoshan claypot, Chaoshan stir-fried and so on, which is a mark of the times in the minds of many Shenzhen people.

Since the name of the store has "porridge", porridge is naturally the main product here. Although many diners prefer to order a bowl of delicious casserole porridge, in fact, raw rolling porridge is the most classic signature of Shenyun. The so-called raw porridge here is the traditional Chaozhou porridge, and it is also the "millet rice" in the Chaoshan population, which is different from the Cantonese people, the Chaoshan people take porridge as the staple food, and the thin porridge naturally cannot provide sufficient satiety, so the Chaozhou porridge is very different from the semi-liquid Cantonese porridge in form. Chaozhou porridge pays attention to the fierce fire and cooking, the rice grains just burst the waist to extinguish the fire, let it stand to precipitate the rice oil, the particles are distinct when eaten, the slurry water is viscous, and it has a good satiety effect. Among the Chaozhou porridge in Shenyun, the simplest white porridge and sweet potato porridge are the favorites of old diners, using the pearl japonica rice commonly used in Chaoshan, the rice grains are short and fat, the porridge rice cooked out is distinct, full and blooming, the porridge is soft, the rice is fragrant, and it is quite classic. Sweet potato porridge is made by adding sweet potato segments to the porridge rice, which makes the taste even sweeter. Oyster porridge, field chicken porridge, yellow eel porridge, fish fillet porridge, minced meat and vegetable porridge, etc., are the "fragrant mince" that has been flavored and added with corresponding ingredients, which is fresh and sweet, and the taste is more refreshing than casserole porridge.

Porridge is the tone of cold, and with a bowl of hot Teochew porridge, you can order the side dishes according to your preferences. There are many types of porridge and side dishes in Shenyun, such as pickles, tribute vegetables, preserved vegetables, clam meat, olive vegetables, hemp leaves, etc.; Among them, hemp leaves are almost a must on the table, 30 years of stable production has also made sweet potato porridge with hemp leaves become a symbol of Shenyun Chaozhou porridge, it is not an exaggeration to say that the combination of "porridge and hemp leaves" has been popularized in Shenzhen, which has a credit for Shenyun Chaozhou porridge. The hemp leaves of Shenzhen are directly purchased from the local designated farmers in Chaoshan, and the channels are stable, and hundreds of catties of hemp leaves are transported from Chaoshan to Shenzhen every two or three days, and each branch is basically sold in limited quantities every day. The sesame leaves stir-fried in garlic bean sauce are smooth and slightly salty, slightly chewy, and perfect for eating with porridge. Clam meat and pickles are also widely acclaimed, clam meat is "red meat rice", clam meat is choked and boiled in salt water to cool, salty and fresh without sand, and the taste is flexible; The freshly made Chaoshan "pickle mouth" is much lighter than the common pickles on the market, and the taste is sweet and sweet.

Shenyun's dishes are complete, from brine, soup pot to various Chaoshan snacks, there are many choices, the production level is decent, and the price is quite affordable. In the claypot, the spring vegetable pot and the cold melon pot are the signboards, the quality of Chaoshan spring vegetables and Chaoshan bitter gourd is very outstanding, the spring vegetable pot is soft, the entrance is soft, the fragrance is fragrant and warm, the bitter gourd is also soft, the meat is thick and glutenless, and the melon oil is rich, but the Chaoshan claypot is generally oily, and the friends who care about it need to consider carefully. Puning fried tofu is also a snack with a high appearance rate, the tofu core is as thick as yogurt, the skin is crispy and fragrant, the crispy texture is fine, smooth and not slashing, the minus point is that there are too few leeks in the leek dipped in water, and the aroma is insufficient. There are two kinds of fish: chilled fish and fish rice chilled, the chilled fish comes from the waters of Shanwei Port, and is transported to the cold chain after being caught in the port every day; The fish rice can be served with Puning bean sauce and porridge, and customers who are not used to cold food can also ask the store to help heat it. In addition, the taro rice, another staple food in the store, is also popular among diners, and it is worth trying for good quality and low price.

The main store of Shenyun Chaozhou porridge is located in the Shenyun Building on Shabu Road at the East Gate, and currently has a branch in Huaqiangbei, Reservoir and Xixiang. The style of each store is relatively unified, the environment is spacious and tidy, the decoration is an old-school affordable restaurant style, and the store displays a variety of dishes. The service level of Shenzhen Yun is relatively average, and most of the waiters are middle-aged aunts, with a sloppy attitude, but they are quick with their hands and feet, and the speed of serving food is relatively fast. What is rare is that in the past 30 years, Shenzhen Yun has maintained a low-price attitude close to the people, and the production is relatively stable, which is an affordable old store.
