Taishan Chapter 🥘 Drive 160 kilometers to eat at this restaurant

During this trip to Jiangmen, we drove 160 kilometers from Hong Kong to taste the authentic Taishan eel rice. "The first Xinghua eel rice in Taishan", the eel rice here is ordered by kilogram, and the proportions can be freely matched, for example, one kilogram of rice with a kilogram and a half of eel. But it turns out that there are two factions in the area. Both schools boil the eel first, rinse it in cold water, remove the bones and shred the meat, then heat up a pan with oil, add ginger, garlic and seasonings to stir-fry the eel shreds, and then cook rice in a clay pot. The difference is that one school of thought puts the sautéed eel shreds with juice on the white rice cooked in a clay pot, covers it and bakes it for a while, which is more like clay pot rice and needs to be mixed well before eating after opening the lid; while the other school of thought takes more time and adds the white rice in the clay pot into the oil pan and stir-frys it with the sautéed eel shreds until the rice grains are well-seasoned. Then, the eel shreds and rice are put back into the original clay pot and baked for a while, which is more like fried rice, but there is also burnt rice at the bottom of the clay pot. There is a local restaurant called "Shuangshuang Yellow Eel Rice", which is known as the first restaurant selling yellow eel rice. It was founded by Huang Jingyue in 1985 and is a version of the former. The latter version is "Taishan's First Xinghua Yellow Eel Rice". The name of the restaurant almost made me think it was the original store. In fact, it was founded by Peng Rihua and his wife in 1987, two years later than Shuang Shuang. Although the two methods are different, they have both been recognized by the Jiangmen Municipal People's Government and were awarded the Taishan City-level intangible cultural heritage plaque "Taishan Yellow Eel Rice Making Technique" in 2018. ✨Special dishes: eel rice, tangerine peel bone, lotus root balls 💰Average consumption: 3 people spent 170 yuan Next time I come to Taishan, I must eat here! !
