李記正客家魷魚羹

This is a well-established store in a residential area, opening early at around seven o'clock, with business hours similar to traditional breakfast shops. This time, I ordered the mixed soup to try its main dishes.

First, regarding the soup itself, I found it to be quite average—not too sweet, with just the right thickness. On a cold morning, it’s nice to have a warm bowl.

As for the ingredients, my mixed bowl included three types: fish crackers, squid, and fish paste.

To sum it up, overall, I was a bit disappointed.

The fish crackers really felt like cookies thrown into the soup—nothing special, just quite crunchy.

The squid was decent, with a nice texture and chewiness. There were no issues with toughness or an unpleasant fishy taste, so I would give that a thumbs up.

However, at a price of one hundred yuan for the bowl, it felt disappointing.

The fish paste, in my opinion, was just very ordinary—nothing particularly special. After finishing, I didn’t have any standout memories of it; it tasted quite similar to the fish paste served in regular hotpot places.

The store was crowded, and it wasn’t convenient to get napkins. Although there was a handwashing station, it was not available for customers to use, and the seating was very cramped.

So, I would suggest opting for the fresh squid soup series instead.
