Travel to "Teochew Land", Shantou(汕头), China Part 4

One of the most famous foods from my Teochew motherland: Fried Oyster Omelette!
It is also one of my favourite food.
According to our tour guide, this is one of the most famous restaurant over there...


Despite the fact that we just had a full lunch, we simply cannot give this a miss..

For approximately the price 6 SGD, there were more oysters than eggs! I hope to have the chance to go back to eat it again because I am missing it already as I am writing this blog post.

The next 'famous' thingy around here I am going to mention is this fruit named Fo Shou(佛手)..
I got to see the real life plant with fruits on it!

What people here do is they will keep the fruit till it turns black in colour, and many more years after. It is supposed to get better at curing certain ailments the longer u keep it. Of course, the older it gets, the more expensive it is.

The next 'famous' thing over here that I am going to touch on..the Lionhead Goose(狮头鹅) and its liver. This is one of the biggest species of goose known and it originates right here in Shantou. I did not managed to get one on photo,but u can take a look at the size of its eggs..
