Salt-baked chicken at Huiyoutang, with ash tofu on the side

Heijing, Lufeng

Heijing cooks with its own salt, and its signature dish is a whole chicken sealed and cooked in hot local salt. Huiyoutang is the restaurant most visitors name first. Add ash tofu, cubes cured in pine-needle ash and cooked until the skin is lightly crisp and the inside soft; it tastes far milder than it sounds.

What locals sayReviews agree you can't leave Heijing without trying the salt chicken, and that the ash tofu is stranger on paper than on the plate.
