Coconut Chicken Soup 椰子炖乌鸡汤 (yēzi dùn wūjī tāng)
Liked it Guangzhou
First stop on the food tour. Apparently a staple for locals as a healthy broth. It’s coconut water and black chicken which actually is black. I really enjoyed the sweetness of the broth and the chicken was tasty but I had time finding the fleshy part since it was chopped bones and all into the soup. It is steamed in the coconut for 4 hours!

A classic Cantonese double-boiled soup made by steaming black-boned Silkie chicken and traditional Chinese herbs directly inside a whole coconut using its natural water. It is prized in Lingnan dietary culture for its delicate, naturally sweet flavor and yin-nourishing medicinal properties.
What To Know: It is traditionally served steaming hot right inside the carved coconut shell at specialty double-boiled soup (炖品) shops, where diners eat the chicken and scrape out the tender coconut flesh along with the broth.
