Beef hot pot and beef balls

Beef hot pot is a specialty in Shantou. Basically, as long as he is not a pure vegetarian, it is enough to take him to eat beef hotpot to impress Shantou.

There are two main reasons why Chaoshan beef hotpot is delicious: First, the beef is basically eaten on site. Many beef restaurants have slaughterhouses nearby, or have specialized beef supply channels to ensure the freshness of the meat; secondly, good knife skills. Good beef hotpot restaurants have experienced beef cooks. They cut the beef based on the different textures of the different parts of the cow. The quality of the knife is very different, and the taste is very different.

Many outsiders are confused when they come to hotpot restaurants. It’s not just beef, it’s beef. There are so many kinds of beef? Nuts, spoon kernels, dragon hangings, flower toes, breast forks, fat scrotum, and tender meat are all silly. In fact, even local Shantou people may not be able to figure it out. After all, this is a unique skill inherited from the local people. It wins with delicious taste, not as simple and crude as northerners eating meat.

Hand-made beef balls are an indispensable symbol of beef hot pot. Some hotpot restaurants will demonstrate the making process of beef balls on-site. The beating process and exquisite kung fu are already shocking. Because they are handmade, the beef balls in every beef hotpot restaurant taste different. Some are chewy and some are tender and fragrant, but the result of careful preparation is certainly delicious. After all, the main thing is that the beef here is fresh enough and the method is unique. Beef balls are also divided into raw balls and cooked balls. If you eat hot pot on site, you can order raw meatballs, which are fresher. If you want to take away, you can order the cooked meatballs. There are two types of beef balls and beef tendon balls, each with its own characteristics.

Although Shantou beef hotpot has been widely used in many cities in China, Shantou, as the place of origin, is still the destination for diners. After all, it is not easy to completely copy the authentic traditional industrial chain.

Haiji, an internet celebrity from Shantou’s beef hotpot restaurant, became popular because he promoted Shantou people’s emphasis on eating beef. Now chain stores have spread all over the country, and many foreign tourists come to Shantou to check in at Haiji's Baheli main store.

In recent years, online celebrity beef hotpot restaurants that have become popular due to their strength also include Xinghuaqiao’s Wuji Beef. Regardless of its meat quality, knife skills, service, and cost-effectiveness, it has won unanimous praise from locals and outsiders. But because of its popularity, diners often have to queue for a long time to have a hot pot meal.
