🍴 7 restaurants highly recommended by Xiamen locals: street food and time-honored brands 🌟

When you come to Xiamen, you should not only walk along the old streets and enjoy the sea view, but also know the soul of this city through "eating"! This time, I have sorted out 7 food stores that I have personally tasted and where locals will also line up, from hot mixed noodles, classic ginger duck, to super special taro buns, let you fall in love with Xiamen while eating! 🍳 Old Alley·Egg Burger ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(5/5) A popular street stall, a burger = a fried egg + a meat patty, sandwiched with full cucumber shreds and special sauce, every bite is crispy and delicious, even locals are willing to line up to buy it! 📍 It is recommended to line up in the afternoon when it is less crowded. 🍜 Jukou Mixed Noodles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(5/5) The mixed noodles are fragrant and strong, the proportion of sesame sauce is just right, and the noodles are chewy and not mushy. Paired with the signature seafood soup🦐🐙, the soup is super fresh, and the ingredients are fresh and abundant. It is a bowl of good soup with full sincerity! 🍢 1980 Roasted Pork Zong ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(4/5) The traditional old taste, childhood memories immediately come to mind. The roasted pork zongzi is solid and full, the rice grains are oily and not greasy, the shacha noodle soup is fragrant, and the ingredients are also rich. It is a classic breakfast for Xiamen people! 🍠 Taro Baosao ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(4/5) A very special local creative food! The outer skin made of taro is soft and fluffy, and the salty and fragrant braised meat filling is super matched, plus peanut butter and coriander🌿, you will be addicted to it~ But it is quite filling, it is recommended to share it with two people. 🍧 Weilin Dessert ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(5/5) This dessert shop is like a taste bank in memory! There are so many kinds of ingredients, and the free combination is full of fun. I especially recommend the syrup with "honey lotus root". It is icy, sweet and crispy. It is a must-try in summer❄️! 🦆 Lao Bashi Lanji Ginger Duck ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) A time-honored brand with a fragrant aroma. The soup base has a strong ginger flavor but is not too salty. It is very delicious with the chewy duck meat and the side dishes that absorb the soup. The oyster omelet is very substantial, which is also a highlight! 🐟 Yu Pu Private Kitchen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Super high CP value! The three-course and one-soup set meal is full of portions and tastes attentively. I recommend their fried meat, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the ginger duck, which is tasty and not greasy, and the spicy fried clams🌶️, which are salty and appetizing. It is a good choice for dinner! 📌 Recommended route: 📍 Start from Zhongshan Road Business District → Jukou Mixed Noodles → Yubaosao → Weilin Dessert → Laobashi Lanji Ginger Duck → Egg Burger for supper! If you go to Gulangyu Island, you can try Yupu Private Kitchen! Have fun all day, eat well and end happily! Xiamen cuisine does not have exaggerated packaging, but authentic ingredients. Whether you are here for the first time or you have visited N times, you can discover new and surprising flavors. If you are also ready for a "food" trip, please save this list first❤️! #Sign up for tripbest7月酒店试睡員
