Strolling around the old Nanyang-style arcade street in Haikou, I saw restaurants selling soup rice all along the way. Most of them were locals. So I chose a relatively large restaurant, Chen Ji Soup Rice, to try. [Environment] The style of an old restaurant. No decoration. The hygiene is a bit average. The restaurant has two floors. It is actually a bit like a canteen. There are many locals eating here. I saw that many people ordered a combination of rice and soup. I also followed the local customs and ordered a pickled cabbage pepper pork soup with rice. (I originally ordered the original flavor, but the clerk recommended the pepper flavor. The taste is better)
[Taste]
👉Standard pickled cabbage and pork offal soup with rice
I am not used to eating white rice here
Fortunately, the pepper taste covered the taste of white rice when soaked in pepper soup
The pickled cabbage and pepper soup taste good
In addition, the set meal also comes with Chinese sausage and steamed eggs
The portion is quite large
👉Authentic boiled Wenchang chicken
I can't tell what the difference is between Wenchang chicken and ordinary chicken
👉Stir-fried sweet potato leaves
I like to order this vegetable in Hainan
It's very good
👉Boiled pork belly
To be specific, boiled pork offal
It has everything
It's ok, I like the taste of soy sauce
👉Hainan vegetarian pot, stir-fried conch meat
I heard from the clerk that it is a classic cold dish in Hainan
It's not expensive, so try it
The vegetarian dish has no taste
The conch meat is just so-so
I heard that it's because the weather in Haikou is too hot
The locals don't have an appetite to eat after work
So they like to eat pepper soup with rice to stimulate their appetite
It's also a very local habit
You can try it
