ChaoShan Food Trail: Chaozhou and Shantou
Our trip to Chaoshan was inspired by the Netflix series, "Flavourful Origins". Although, I have always toyed with the idea of visiting my ancestral homeland for a while now, I needed that extra push to make it a reality. Well, the splendid documentary on Chaoshan food was that proverbial straw that broke the camel's back! So, we headed off to the land of the Teochews to look for olives, aged chai poh, beef hotpot, beef balls, marinated crab etc etc.
