Lilaowu Koushui Chicken

Situated at the intersection of Wanshou Road in Nan’an District, “Lilaowu Koushui Chicken” is a small restaurant with very simple decoration, which has been visited by the nearby residents since their childhood. Its signboard in red and yellow, is particularly eye-catching. Customers can see the clean and tidy worktops through the transparent glass.

The restaurant serves a wide variety of dishes, including the signature dish “koushui Chicken (steamed chicken with chili sauce)” and other common cold dishes like white meat with garlic, duck intestines and tripe. Their secretly home-made seasoning looks quite appetizing. Because the seasoning can make the dishes very salty and less tasty after they are mixed for a long time, the owner will pack the seasoning and the dishes separately for the customers if they prefer to take them home.
