Sampan Porridge

In olden days, this delicious porridge was served on shuttling sampans in Liwan Lake in the western outskirts of Guangzhou. Thus, Sampan Porridge is the name.

The porridge is a unique cuisine you can only find in Guangzhou. Originally the porridge took fresh river shrimp and fillet as the ingredients. Later, jellyfish, fried peanut kernel, shallot, ginger etc. were also included on the list. The rice is boiled with all the ingredients together just before it is served. The porridge tastes fresh and sweet, very delicious. Whether in the restaurants, on the streets or in the White Swan Hotel, the taste is great.
