Fuchangyuan, formerly known as Changji Casserole Porridge, is an old casserole porridge and Chaoshan cold food stall in Futian, and Chaoshan food stalls such as Fang Ji Hongyang Restaurant and Jieyang Zhongji Snacks are located in the same Futian New Village.
Unlike other cold night porridge stalls, Fu Chang Yuan focuses on casserole porridge rather than ordinary white porridge or sweet potato porridge. Chaoshan casserole porridge has always been one of the labels of Chaoshan cuisine, in fact, casserole porridge is not a local product of Chaoshan, and its birth is quite recent. After the reform and opening up, a large number of Chaoshan immigrants flowed into Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and they brought the traditional Chaozhou porridge (white millet and fragrant millet) to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places, and improved it, and the casserole porridge came into being. Fuchangyuan's casserole porridge has a complete range of categories, shrimp porridge, crab porridge, abalone porridge, geoduck porridge, field chicken porridge, fish fillet porridge, minced pork rib porridge, etc., the amount of various seafood ingredients is very real, the quality is also outstanding, Jiwei shrimp, paste crab, three-eye crab and other meat is fresh and sweet, you can also choose a variety of ingredients to cook a bowl. Compared with the traditional Teochew porridge, the casserole porridge uses a casserole that can be cooked in a casserole with more fire and heat more evenly, and the ingredients are no longer limited to the local seafood used in the traditional "chyce", but also add more Cantonese game such as turtles, turtles and snakes. Like traditional Chaoshan porridge, casserole porridge also pays attention to the separation of porridge and water, with clear grains and thick porridge pulp. Fuchangyuan's casserole porridge has a light taste, the seasoning is lighter, and it does not use a large amount of monosodium glutamate chicken powder to stack the umami like some casserole porridge shops, and it does not feel bland, the fresh and sweet flavor of the ingredients is more prominent, and the porridge water tastes mellow and soft.
Fuchangyuan is not just a casserole porridge shop, but also has a remarkable variety and taste of Chaoshan stalls. The stir-fried vegetables are all typical food stalls, full of wok, and the green vegetables are transported from Chaoshan in the early morning, and the dishes are sweet and sweet. Fried kale with preserved carryover, kale is more oily than other vegetables, Fuchangyuan's fried method is also the corresponding fierce fire thick, tide-style "hard stir-fry" will stir-fry the vegetables thoroughly, the kale is crispy, the taste is crisp and sweet, from the stem branch to the moss are all oily and tender, and the fried flounder adds more flavor. Sweet potato leaves, vegetables, etc., garlic cloves are stir-fried, salty and light, which can highlight the quality of vegetables. The thin-shelled meat used in the stir-fried seafood is much thicker than that of the general Chaoshan food stalls, and the entrance is fuller and refreshing. Stir-fried sand clams are also a feature here, a small sand clam is often pickled raw and used as a side dish with porridge, and the sand clam of Fuchangyuan is a big fat and beautiful, only fried with celery and coriander, and the meat has a peculiar fragrance. Stir-fried squid with shredded radish is also a popular dish among diners, the shredded radish is as thin as flour, the taste is sweet, and the fresh small squid fillet is spike-shaped, elastic and refreshing, the two taste are just right, and the soup is also quite sweet.
Fuchangyuan annexed a number of shops around the stall of Futian New Village, and the stars were scattered but connected, although each façade was not large, but the scene of a connected scene was also quite impressive. In addition to the casserole porridge and Chaoshan cold stalls, Fuchangyuan also has another shop that provides seafood hot pot. It is worth noting that Fuchangyuan recently opened a branch in the central area of Bao'an, which has been reborn from the style of food stalls, and the environment has become bright and comfortable, with soft wood decoration and texture. The dishes produced by this branch are basically the same as those of the old store, but except for the casserole porridge that still retains the original high standard, the style of other dishes has changed greatly, Chaoshan special snacks, stir-fried and cold are more exquisite, but it lacks the wok-atmosphere of the old store, and the quality of raw materials for seafood and vegetables is much more moderate than that of the old store. The old and new outlets have their own advantages and disadvantages, and diners can choose according to their preferences.
