长平老姿娘夜粥

Changping Lao Zi Niang Night Congee is located at No. 38, Changping Road, Jinping District, Shantou City. The environment is indeed average, but the taste is really good, and the portion is also large. You can try raw marinated shrimp, white porridge, night porridge, goose intestines, and stewed vegetable platters.

A food stall located on Changping Road, open 24 hours a day, with an average environment and inconvenient parking, but the ingredients are fresh and taste authentic, especially the fish rice, which has many varieties and is dazzling to look at. The price is not expensive, but you have to wait for a table during peak hours.

The clams here, plus some fried clams here, are all very delicious. The fruit noodles here are also very unique. The price-performance ratio is also very high, and the dinner is really great.

Shantou Changping Lao Zi Niang Night Porridge is open 24 hours. It was still crowded when I got there at 10pm. Find a seat first and remember the table number before ordering dishes. There are snacks, braised dishes, seafood, and vegetables in the open stall. I highly recommend the braised goose liver, which really melts in your mouth and is smooth and tender. Another one is the shrimp and crab porridge. Order according to the number of people. The portion is large, the shrimp is chewy, the crab is sweet, and the seafood is fresh and fried. This is a night porridge restaurant that you can't miss when you come to Shantou

This late-night eatery is mostly populated by locals, including an elderly woman, perhaps 80, who ate a bowl of white rice and a small dish. I felt like offering her a helping hand, but I felt shy, so I gave up. The goose head was quite good, the marinated shrimp were at least better than the Hangzhou specialty of drunken crab, and the clams were plump. I didn't think the crab and shrimp congee was particularly well-cooked.

White porridge is also a Shantou specialty. This Changping Lao Zi Niang night porridge restaurant has received mixed reviews, but foodies always have to try it themselves. I went there specifically to find it, and it's doing brisk business. They have a variety of braised seafood on display, clearly priced, so you can choose whatever you want. The fish rice I've been craving for a long time is actually just marinated small fish. I don't know what kind, but the auntie picked one and said it was tender. The marinated seafood is especially recommended, with a variety of pickled varieties, including shrimp, crab, oysters, and more. It's just like our spicy shrimp, but marinated to perfection, and it pairs perfectly with white porridge. Many locals also come here to eat. A bowl of white porridge with braised fish, tofu, and stir-fried vegetables is a complete meal. It's simple and delicious, so give it a try.

When you're in Chaoshan, you absolutely have to have a bowl of white porridge in the evening... Of course, the white porridge here is different from what we imagine. It doesn't come with pickles and peanuts... Last time I went there, I had Guiyuan white porridge. This time, I went to a different place, Lao Zi Niang, at the intersection of Changping Road. I went quite late in the evening, so it wasn't crowded. There were rows of various dishes lined up at the entrance, dazzling to the eyes. Since I've been there several times before, I didn't order pickled crab or shrimp today. I simply ordered a dish of soybeans with tofu, a plate of stir-fried thin-crust rice, and a bowl of white porridge. Haha, I felt so satisfied after finishing it. It only cost 12 yuan. A bargain, right?

A 24-hour seafood stall. Another shop that's been hyped up, with a ravenous crowd. The two-story building was packed. Grease, water, and dirt were everywhere. There was a dishwashing area on the side, but out of sight, out of mind. You had to choose your own seafood, vegetables, and cooked dishes, which felt like a scramble. The lines were chaotic. Braised dishes were cut by hand without gloves, which was quite unbelievable. The biggest difference was that there was no price list or individual prices. The waiter just said whatever they wanted. Anyway, when it came time to pay, a waiter simply glanced at the table and gave a number. The bill was settled. Raw crab, stir-fried crab, stir-fried lettuce, large intestine, crispy intestine, duck gizzards, and raw oysters totaled 279 yuan. I'm not sure if the porridge was free or not. Is it charged per person? Or is it free? I felt uneasy knowing there wasn't a price. The whole place was so noisy and chaotic. I just wanted to leave quickly. I won't be back.
