A salty milk preparation traditionally paired with porridge; it is very different from sweet double-skin milk.

How it is made

Milk is curdled, pressed into thin pieces and preserved in a salty liquid. The process produces a concentrated dairy condiment rather than a spoonable milk dessert.

Flavour & texture

The pieces are distinctly salty with a milky, slightly tangy flavor and a firm-to-crumbly texture. A very small amount seasons a mouthful of plain food.

Local roots & traditions

Daliang niuru is associated with Shunde and is traditionally paired with congee.

How to order Daliang milk chips

Double-skin milk 双皮奶 →

Milk is heated to form a skin, then combined with egg white and gently steamed beneath another skin. Careful heating creates a tender center rather than a firm baked custard. The dessert is creamy, smooth and milk-forward, with delicate surface layers and restrained sweetness in a traditional version.

Try a different local texture

Ginger milk pudding 姜撞奶 →

Fresh ginger juice is placed in a bowl and warm milk is poured onto it, allowing the milk to set through the interaction with the ginger. Timing and temperature affect the delicate result. The pudding is soft and spoonable, with rich milk flavor and a pronounced fresh-ginger heat. It is fragile rather than gelatin-firm.
