Taishan Part 14: Beggar’s Chicken Dinner in Taicheng

Sam’s colleague in Maoming knew of our travel and recommended that we try beggar’s chicken while in Taichan – so, we did. We arranged for a driver to drop off and pick us up because the restaurant is located in a rural area of Taicheng. The first picture shows the restaurant sign; the next is the menu.







We ordered the famous beggar’s chicken, ox-bone soup with lotus root, and stir-fried long beans – all for about $8 USD. Everything was delicious. The beggar’s chicken was originally wrapped with dirt and roast in open fire; now it is wrapped in foiled and wood-roasted. Disposable gloves are provided so diners can eat the chicken with their hands.

While the restaurant is an open-air facility and located in a rural area, it really went out of their way to provide a clean atmosphere. They cleaned “sterilized” the cups, bowls, and chopsticks in a pan of boiling water on your table. They provided a packet of tissues and a whole small wrapped packet of disposable gloves for each table.
