When we arrived in Wenchang, our local friend Xiao Fu recommended us to go to Wangxi to drink Lao Ba Tea. In fact, morning tea is very popular in Guangdong, and the Lao Ba Tea in Wenchang may be the same.
According to locals, the custom of drinking Lao Ba Tea was brought back by overseas Chinese who worked hard in Nanyang a long time ago and has been passed down to this day.
At 1:30 pm, we rushed to Wangxi Chinese and Western Tea Shop. The store was already full of cars. When we entered the store, the lobby with dozens of tables was half full. It was said that it was full at noon. There are rich varieties here, including steamed snacks, European bread, and crayfish, and the customers have more and more choices. There are also coffee, milk tea, juice... One cup per person with tea and snacks, sitting for most of the day.
Wangxi Chinese and Western Tea is one of the top ten local rankings and is considered an Internet celebrity store. We ordered two cups of lemon tea and shrimp and other snacks to taste slowly, and experience the most authentic slow pace and slow life in Wenchang.
Like Haikou, Wenchang also has the custom of drinking Lao Ba Tea. It is not difficult for people to get up early. Since I am here, I still have to try Wenchang's morning tea.
Most of the shops in Haikou are called XX Tea House, but the old dad tea in Wenchang is called XX Chinese and Western Tea Shop. I don't know if it is because they emphasize that there are both Chinese and Western tea shops and drinks. This Wangxi is close to the hotel where I live, and the business is booming. To be honest, if there were no words of snacks and desserts, I would have thought it was a car wash from a distance.
This shop is huge and very noisy. There are at least 50 tables. It is completely the atmosphere of a farmer's market. After arriving at the store, there will be no waiter to lead you to your seat. Anyway, you can sit anywhere and find a waiter to open the table when you see it.
In addition to Chinese green tea and Pu'er, this tea shop also has Western coffee and milk tea, and you can choose hot or cold, with or without milk. It is quite meticulous. Like Haikou, if you want to pick up the food, you can take the checkout receipt to the stall to pick it up yourself.
There is no menu. Just look at the products directly. Tell the waiter which one you like, and then stamp the receipt to calculate the cost at the end.
In addition to steamed snacks, refrigerated double-skin milk and other Western-style snacks can be taken from the refrigerator and stamped. For drinks, rice rolls, and noodle soup, you can just find a waiter to take the receipt and place an order.
Finally, it will be delivered according to the table number. I saw on the Internet that the crispy taro is delicious, but when I asked the clerk, he said that the crispy taro is only available in the afternoon.

The reviews of Wangxi online are mixed, and I was quite nervous before coming. After coming, I was only satisfied. First of all, the price is touching. We ordered 4 small seafood, two dim sum, and two drinks, which was only 167 yuan. The service is also OK. Although it is very busy, the attitude is very good. It was our first time here, and we were a little confused. The side dishes and dim sum of this restaurant have to be taken by ourselves and then recorded on the bill of our table. The noodles and drinks are ordered at the table. I looked around and didn’t find the mango rice noodle rolls. I thought the rice noodle rolls were also ordered at the table. I asked the waiter to help us order. The waiter said that the rice noodle rolls are taken by ourselves, and when we see them, we will help us get one. Later, one was brought over. Thank you! The raw and marinated ones are all good, and the seasoning is the same, that is, the taste and freshness of the food itself. The mango rice noodle rolls are still very good and very refreshing. The unknown bread I ordered was also very delicious.
I ate two pineapple buns here! They are delicious when freshly baked! Everything is sold out right after it comes out of the oven, so it is hot and fresh. I found that the freshly baked products are delicious. The pineapple buns are soft and fluffy. No wonder I ate two big ones. The fried chicken legs are just so-so. The fried noodles and barbecued pork are both good. [Environment] It is crowded and noisy. The place is large. There is parking next to it, but it is not a parking space. [Service] They are all local waiters. I don’t understand the local dialect very well, but it’s okay. [Taste] Absolute!
Super good afternoon tea Wangxi Chinese and Western Tea Shop, many kinds of afternoon tea Most of them are locals Open at 6am and close at 6pm every day, you can eat from morning to evening So many things for only 67 yuan Very cheap Black tea for only 4 yuan, lemon black tea for only 5 yuan Black tea and lemon black tea are so big, you can even refill Pork feet are super awesome, the pig feet are very tender, and the pig skin is delicious It's really satisfying
"Xiao Shijie" Domestic Chapter 📍Hainan It seems that the names of Hainan breakfasts are different in different places. Haikou is called Laoba Tea, and Wenchang is called Zhongxi Tea. [Environment] There is a Zhongxi Tea in the streets and alleys of Wenchang Old Town. Most of the decorations are very simple, or there is no decoration at all. It can be seen that it is a neighborhood business. This one is obviously renovated. There are many scenic spot elements graffiti on the wall. It should also attach great importance to tourist business. [Service] Unlike many traditional morning tea shops that have basically no service, the service staff here are still relatively patient and kind. They carefully taught us how to order and introduced the dishes without being impatient. [Taste] I went there during breakfast time. I saw that the recommended | Crispy Taro^ and | Mango Rice Noodle Roll^ were not available. It seems that they are only available during afternoon tea time. I was quite disappointed. I ordered a few snacks casually and I can only say that it was neither good nor bad. | Milk tea^ was not bad, but not as rich as the one I drank in Haikou.
