Chaoshan is the Teochew-speaking area of eastern Guangdong around 潮州 and 汕头. Its cooking is counted as one of Guangdong's three cuisines, alongside Cantonese and Hakka. It is known for fresh seafood, 卤鹅 (goose braised in spiced soy stock), beef hotpot with hand-beaten 牛肉丸 (beef balls), and strong 功夫茶 after meals.
