山岳小宇Yuanquan Songyue Shengtang
In the summer evenings, you can always see Songyue Shengtang crowded with people. Zhangzhou people love to invite three or five friends to come here to eat a bowl of Shengtang.
Its method seems simple, but it is very challenging to the freshness of the ingredients and the control of the heat. Dozens of ingredients such as pig liver, small intestines, lean meat, pig kidneys, pig hearts, clams, snake skin, etc. are put into the signature bone soup and cooked for 20 seconds. Sprinkle some shredded ginger and pour the soup. Although it is a bit like spicy hot pot, it is not so heavy.

I was attracted by the phrase "I'll want to eat more after I've eaten it, I'll be sick of it" when browsing Zhangzhou food‼ ️‼ ️ I want to try whether I will be sick of it‼ ️ 🚖Take a taxi to the door. The stalls are very lively I have to choose the best outdoor seats when I eat alone‼ ️ There are too many raw and hot varieties! I was dazzled and ordered a lot. The boss lady gave me some oysters🦪There are also many kinds of noodles. I chose one that looks like macaroni Finally, the bill was 30 yuan, which is very good‼ ️ Each one is very delicious. I love the pork liver, pork kidney, fish skin, razor clams, and duck blood‼ ️The only mistake was that the small intestine was really hard to bite. I tried many times but couldn't bite it... The seaweed was recommended by the boss lady, and it was not bad. I didn't order the water chestnuts that came with the soup. Anyway, as a layman, I am very satisfied with my first experience‼ ️ If the small intestine hadn't been deducted 0.5, I would have given it all five stars‼ ️🥰‼ ️ Next time I come to Zhangzhou, I will go there again‼ ️‼ ️ I can eat it 56789 times‼ ️‼ ️
