How obsessed are Guangdong people with chicken? Let's put it this way: even the map of Guangdong is shaped like a chicken leg! Many local expressions reference chickens... for example, "teng ji" (describing panic), "zou ji" (missing an opportunity), and "tou ji" (your current state).

In Guangdong, there's a saying: "No feast is complete without chicken." No matter how many delicacies Guangdong has to offer, only chicken can dominate the dining tables of Guangdong people—even when it comes to coffee.

How creative can they get? You could say: Coffee paired with chicken brings complete peace of mind!

"Ginger Scallion Chicken Coffee"

A specialty coffee made with ginger juice, cream, sesame salad dressing, shredded scallions, and toasted sesame seeds.

The shredded scallions, ginger juice, and sesame juice bring the flavor of ginger-scallion dipping sauce to the coffee, while the cream provides the texture of chicken skin oil. Both chicken lovers and non-chicken eaters were stunned!

"Coconut Chicken Coffee"

A specialty coffee made with kumquat juice, coconut water, a mixture of water chestnut, sand ginger, and coconut meat, and chili peppers.

The essence of coconut chicken hot pot is concentrated in one cup of coffee. This reminds me of a past conversation: "I thought Hainan coconut chicken was Shenzhen's representative dish, not Hainan's, because it's Hainan coconut chicken."

"Sesame Oil Qingping Chicken Special"

A coffee cocktail made with sesame oil, vodka, lime, and melon.

It has the aroma of ginger-scallion white cut chicken while being refreshing and smooth. It can also be paired with sour and spicy chicken feet, complementing the sweet and sour flavors of the coffee cocktail, taking both your taste buds and stomach to a new world.

"Durian Coconut Chicken"

I wonder if anyone has tried chicken soup brewed with durian shells. Although it sounds strange, it's truly a soup that only Guangdong people would make! It actually tastes quite good.

This specialty coffee was probably inspired by this concept. It would be even more authentic with some goji berries added!

Besides chicken, many roast ducks, roast geese, and sausages have also fallen victim to Guangdong people "adding them to coffee." For example!

"Sausage Iced Coffee"

A specialty coffee made with rose liqueur, Shiwan Yubing Shao (Chinese liquor), Huangshanghuang sausage, pineapple, and perilla leaves.

The sausage wrapped in pineapple is grilled before serving, allowing the fat and aroma to drip into the coffee with its liquor notes. Very imperial indeed!

"Roast Duck Plum Sauce Coffee"

"Eating roast duck and goose without plum sauce lacks soul!" A specialty coffee made with plum sauce, lime juice, plum powder, and Chaoshan south ginger plum powder.

Complete with salty, sour, and sweet flavors, it tastes exactly like roast goose and duck dipped in plum sauce! I wonder if this coffee uses coffee liquid with liquor notes. If so, it would be perfect!

"Coffee Chicken Meal"

"Many things are like store-bought glutinous rice chicken, destined to be what they are."

Coffee/alcohol cocktails paired with glutinous rice chicken—one bite greasy, one bite refreshing. Mom no longer has to worry about me eating too much glutinous rice chicken!

After seeing all this, I can only say one thing:

"So strange! I'm not sure, let me look again!

                                Hmm! I want to try it!"
