Xiamen Food Recommendations:

1. Ximen soil bamboo shoot jelly, this bamboo shoot is not that bamboo shoot

The bamboo shoots are a grey-white, fat, link-shaped insect that looks a bit like an earthworm. Because it naturally grows into a cylindrical shape, it looks a bit like a "mini bamboo shoot", so Xiamen people call it the bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots do not grow in the soil, but in the shallow beach. Regarding this point, the Cantonese people are more pragmatic and call them "Mud Ding". After the bamboo shoots are dug out of the mud, they must rest for a day so that they can vomit out the debris in their stomachs. Then the bugs will be brutally crushed to remove their internal organs, and then they will be boiled after repeated cleaning to remove the mud and impurities in their abdomens. After three to five minutes, when the colloid overflows, you can scoop up the soup and put it into small porcelain bowls. The bamboo shoot jelly is rich in colloid and has a jelly-like texture. With the addition of soy sauce, northern vinegar, sweet and spicy sauce, mustard, minced garlic, coriander, shredded white radish and other auxiliary ingredients, it has become "Xiamen's number one snack". The well-known Ximen Bamboo Shoot Jelly is one of the more famous ones. Now it has expanded its store and its storefront is several times bigger, but the taste is still the same. Topped with Ximen's homemade sauce, it is fresh and refreshing. The frozen bamboo shoots are divided into three types: large, medium and small. The prices are 30, 20 and 10 yuan per plate respectively.

2. Brown sugar sand tea noodles, the ingredients are prepared on the same day

Sha tea is not a local specialty of Xiamen, but originated from Southeast Asia. It is made with crushed peanuts, cloves, dried shrimps and chili peppers. , tangerine peel and other dozens of raw materials are ground and mixed. Xiamen people used it to cook noodles, plus various seafood and dried tofu, and it gradually became popular in Ludao. Xiamen people love Sha Cha Noodles as much as Wuhan people love Hot Dry Noodles. Sha Cha Noodles can be seen everywhere in the streets of Xiamen. Among them, the most popular is "black sugar". Diners have been queuing up since it opened in the morning, and it will be sold out before 2 p.m. However, the price of Wutang is also one of the most expensive among Xiamen Shacha noodle shops. The boss said that because the ingredients are fresh, no chilled ingredients are used, ensuring that the ingredients are used up on the same day of production.

3. The ancient flavor of Zhongshan Road, Yuehua Shacha Noodles

Although this time-honored Shacha Noodles hidden on the side of Zhongshan Road is not as famous as Wutang, in terms of taste But it can be evenly matched with Wutang. For this kind of folk delicacy, don’t have too high requirements for the dining environment. You will be very happy if you can quickly finish a bowl on a small outdoor table, because there will always be people standing around you who are eagerly waiting for your seat. people. Compared with brown rice noodles, the soup of Yuehua Shacha Noodles is sweeter and richer. It would be even better if paired with a roasted pork rice dumpling and dipped in Xiamen’s sweet and spicy sauce.

4. Bianshi on the pole is passed down from mother to son in Laicuocheng

Bianshi is a food similar to wontons, but it is very small. It pays attention to thin skin, tender filling, The soup is delicious. The skin of Lai Cuo Cheng's flat noodles is so thin that you can see the texture of the fillings. The ingredients are fresh and solid, ensuring that every flat dish has a complete shrimp. If paired with a bowl of noodles topped with thick peanut butter, it will definitely be full of flavor. The founder of this shop, Mrs. Qiu Suhua, used to sell flat food in this area on a pole. Every time the neighbors heard the rhythm of her banging bowls and spoons, they would come out and buy a bowl. Now that Bianshi's wife has passed away, her son has inherited her mother's business, and Bianshi is still as delicious as before. The entire wall of the store is hung with various old food awards, but the location of the store is indeed a bit hidden, near Laoba City.

5. Fuyu Datong duck porridge, one of the duck porridges

There are many restaurants called Datong duck porridge on Xiamen Island. This store in Fuyu is the first to exist. It is said that Also the most authentic. The rice at the bottom of the porridge has clear water, not the kind where the rice has melted into the water and become invisible. The boss will use a pair of big scissors to quickly add duck meat, duck intestines, duck hearts and other ingredients according to your requirements. Of course, the price will increase for each additional ingredient. Don’t forget the refueling sticks, which are a perfect accompaniment to duck porridge and the cheapest. The location of the store is not far from the Xiahe Road exit of the Eighth Food Market and opposite Datong Primary School. And it’s open 24 hours a day, so you don’t have to worry about running out of food.

6. Unnamed Xiao Long Bao, steamed slowly and carefully by an old lady

Because this delicious restaurant has no name, we will call it "Xiao Long Bao" for now without saying much. The boss just put the words "Xiao Long Bao" on the small cabinet. The Xiao Long Bao has thin skin and tender filling, and paired with the pig heart soup made by grandma, it is solid and delicious. Many neighbors have been eating here for more than ten years and never get tired of it. There are no shops here, only a few small tables placed in the arcade aisle. It is quite normal to stand and wait for a table. Since there was only one person in the shop, I couldn't eat the xiaolongbao in a hurry, and it almost closed at 8 or 9pm.

No matter which kind is delicious, he sells it. The fillings of scallion sugar pancakes and tribute sugar sandwich pancakes are similar. Although the pancakes are small, they are filled with tribute sugar, chopped peanuts, meat floss, sweet and spicy sauce, pickled radish shreds, green onions, coriander, spicy peppers, etc., and the outside is full of them. Then wrap it with thin dough or sandwich it with crispy spring pancakes. Although a pair of poles and two wooden cabinets can hold all the old man's belongings, but for such a small stall to survive for nearly twenty years, he must have some skills. The old man is very hygienic. Since his hands are used to roll pancakes, it is up to the guests to change the money. He appears on the road in front of Chen Jia Dessert Shop from 10:00 to 12:30 and 14:00 to 19:30 every day. The Guiling Paste of Chen Jia Dessert Shop behind him is also famous and worth tasting together.

Every summer, the alleys of Baijia Village are full of people, one pot after another, in a circle, and the business is better than that of a seafood food stall.

The best time to visit Xiamen

Xiamen has a subtropical oceanic climate, which is mild and rainy, and the average temperature throughout the year is around 21°C. The flowers are always blooming here, the scenery is long-lasting, and it is suitable for traveling in all seasons.

When it's the twelfth lunar month of winter in northern China, when I come to Xiamen, I can still enjoy the warm and full sunshine and see the "bougainvillea in my emotions" written in Shu Ting's poem.

But in summer, in addition to wearing sun protection when the sun is hot, you also need to be alert to the emergence of typhoons. July to September is the typhoon season along the coast of Xiamen. There are always a few days when all the ships on the beach will be stopped due to strong winds and heavy rain. At this time, you can only hide in your room. From March to April, thick sea fog sometimes covers the island. Before the clouds clear and the fog disperses, Xiamen Island and Gulangyu Island cannot communicate with each other. As long as you avoid the above two kinds of weather, visiting this beautiful southern island at any time will make you feel free.
